The Role Of The Receptive Field Structure In Neuronal Compressive Sensing Signal Processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The receptive field structure ubiquitous in the visual system is believed to play a crucial role in encoding stimulus characteristics, such as contrast and spectral composition.

Changes in land cover drove the recent range expansion of a tropical farmland bird

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Several bird species associated with agricultural landscapes in the Palearctic and in the Nearctic (i.e. farmland birds) have been experiencing severe population declines since the 1970s, mainly due to habitat loss driven by agricultural intensification.

Robust Morphometric Analysis based on Landmarks. Applications [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Procrustes Analysis is a Morphometric method based on Configurations of Landmarks that estimates the superimposition parameters by least-squares; for this reason, the procedure is very sensitive to outliers. In the first part of the paper we robustify this technique to classify individuals from a descriptive point of view.

Prey and prejudice: predation by the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster has species‐specific effects on the ecology and genetics of bumblebees

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Predation is a major ecological force, but its effect on bees has rarely been studied. Here, we investigated whether the presence of the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster, a migratory bird species and major bee predator, decreases the abundance and body size of three common bumblebee species (Bombus lapidarius, B. terrestris and B.

TikZ-network manual [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
TikZ-network is an open source software project for visualizing graphs and networks in LaTeX. It aims to provide a simple and easy tool to create, visualize and modify complex networks. The packaged is based on the PGF/TikZ languages for producing vector graphics from a geometric/algebraic description. Particular focus is made on the software usability

Aerial data move on a trajectory in QGIS software [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cílem bakalářské práce je návrh softwarového nástroje umožňujícího posun letecky měřených bodů po trajektorii. Takový nástroj je třeba z toho důvodu, že přístroj při leteckých měřeních zapisuje souřadnice s určitým zpožděním.

Non‐native species affect the long‐term dynamics of native stream fish assemblages

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Characterizing the temporal changes of biotic communities and disentangling the importance of their driving mechanisms are central themes in ecology and environmental management. Non‐native species have multiple adverse impacts on native communities and species.

What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...
