Spatial heterogeneity of the shorebird gastrointestinal microbiome [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) consists of connected structures that vary in function and physiology, and different GIT sections potentially provide different habitats for microorganisms.

A Lacunarity‐Based Index for Spatial Heterogeneity
Earth and Space Science, 2022 Characterizing spatial heterogeneity is fundamental in numerous areas, yet defining spatial patterns often depends on qualitative assessments or a priori knowledge.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Spatial heterogeneity in plant communities promotes coexistence and diversity by providing a variety of niches for different species. In shrub-steppe communities, shrubs create distinct microsites under their canopies (canopy microsites) compared to ...

Heterogeneous timescales are spatially represented [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 There is little doubt that cognitive processes involved in perceiving and comparing the duration of the sounds played by a musical instrument are very different from those involved, for instance, in recalling when our latest holidays took place. However, despite their clear difference, we ascribe both processes to the time domain, either in the form of

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Soil heterogeneity has been shown to enhance plant diversity, but its effect on grassland productivity is less clear. Even less is known about the effect of plant clumping (intraspecific aggregation) and its potential interaction with soil heterogeneity.

Spatial localization in heterogeneous systems [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2014 We study spatial localization in the generalized Swift-Hohenberg equation with either quadratic-cubic or cubic-quintic nonlinearity subject to spatially heterogeneous forcing. Different types of forcing (sinusoidal or Gaussian) with different spatial scales are considered and the corresponding localized snaking structures are computed.

Spatial Heterogeneity in Bistable Figure-Ground Perception
i-Perception, 2020 The appearance of visual objects varies substantially across the visual field. Could such spatial heterogeneity be due to undersampling of the visual field by neurons selective for stimulus categories?

The spatial selection of heterogeneous firms [PDF]
Journal of International Economics, 2010 We show that heterogeneous firms choose different locations in response to market integration. Specifically, decreasing trade costs lead to the gradual agglomeration of efficient firms in the larger country where they have access to a bigger pool of consumers.

Global Production Increased by Spatial Heterogeneity in a Population Dynamics Model [PDF]
, 2005 Spatial and temporal heterogeneity are often described as important factors having a strong impact on biodiversity. The effect of heterogeneity is in most cases analyzed by the response of biotic interactions such as competition of predation. It may also

Effects of Plateau Pika Disturbance on the Spatial Heterogeneity of Vegetation in Alpine Meadows
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Herbivory is one of the important factors that influence spatial heterogeneity of vegetation in grasslands. In this study, we focused on plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) to investigate the effects of the presence of small semi-fossorial herbivores and ...
