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.

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.

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 ...

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 can lead to substantial local variations in COVID-19 timing and severity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance We examine the effects of an uneven population distribution on the spread of the COVID-19 disease spread, using a diffusion model based on interpersonal contact networks.

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?

Modeling Spatial Interaction in Stochastic Frontier Analysis
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021 We compare farm level efficiency rankings derived from non-spatial and a variety of spatial model specifications that account for unobserved heterogeneity in both the production and the efficiency sides of the stochastic frontier model in an empirical ...

Effect of the intratumoral microbiota on spatial and cellular heterogeneity in cancer
Nature, 2022 The tumour-associated microbiota is an intrinsic component of the tumour microenvironment across human cancer types 1 , 2 . Intratumoral host–microbiota studies have so far largely relied on bulk tissue analysis 1 – 3 , which obscures the spatial ...

Resource competition and coexistence in heterogeneous metacommunities: many-species coexistence is unlikely to be facilitated by spatial variation in resources [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 There is little debate about the potential of environmental heterogeneity to facilitate species diversity. However, attempts to show the relationship between spatial heterogeneity and diversity empirically have given mixed results.
