Measuring habitat complexity and spatial heterogeneity in ecology

Ecology Letters, 2022
Habitat complexity has been considered a key driver of biodiversity and other ecological phenomena for nearly a century. However, there is still no consensus over the definition of complexity or how to measure it.

Extraction of Continuous and Discrete Spatial Heterogeneities: Fusion Model of Spatially Varying Coefficient Model and Sparse Modelling

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2022
Geospatial phenomena often have spatial heterogeneity, which is caused by differences in the data generation process from place to place. There are two types of spatial heterogeneity: continuous and discrete, and there has been much discussion about how ...

The Spatial Effects of Regional Poverty: Spatial Dependence, Spatial Heterogeneity and Scale Effects

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2023
Recognizing the spatial effects of regional poverty is essential for achieving sustainable poverty alleviation. This study investigates these spatial effects and their determinants across three distinct administrative levels within Hubei Province, China.

Spatial Interactions in Hedonic Pricing Models:The Urban Housing Market of Aveiro, Portugal [PDF]

, 2011
Spatial heterogeneity, spatial dependence and spatial scale constitute key features of spatial analysis of housing markets. However, the common practice of modelling spatial dependence as being generated by spatial interactions through a known spatial ...

Spatial heterogeneity facilitates carnivore coexistence.

Ecology, 2021
Competitively dominant carnivore species can limit the population sizes and alter the behavior of inferior competitors. Established mechanisms that enable carnivore coexistence include spatial and temporal avoidance of dominant predator species by ...

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.

Grazing effects on shrub-induced resource islands and herbaceous vegetation heterogeneity in sagebrush-steppe communities

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 ...

Non-genetic evolution drives lung adenocarcinoma spatial heterogeneity and progression.

Cancer Discovery, 2021
Cancer evolution determines molecular and morphological intra-tumor heterogeneity and challenges the design of effective treatments. In lung adenocarcinoma, disease progression and prognosis are associated with the appearance of morphologically diverse ...
