Sequential and Binomial Sampling Plans to Estimate Thrips tabaci Population Density on Onion

open access: yesInsects, 2021
Thrips tabaci Lindeman is a worldwide onion pest that causes economic losses of 10–60%, depending on many factors. Population sampling is essential for applying control tactics and preventing damage by the insect.

Taylor's power law captures the effects of environmental variability on community structure: An example from fishes in the North Sea

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 2018
Taylor's power law (TPL) describes the relationship between the mean and variance in abundance of populations, with the power law exponent considered a measure of aggregation.

Taylor’s Power Law for Leaf Bilateral Symmetry

open access: yesForests, 2018
Leaf shape and symmetry is of interest because of the importance of leaves in photosynthesis. Recently, a novel method was proposed to measure the extent of bilateral symmetry in leaves in which a leaf was divided into left and right sides by a straight ...

Modelling the spatial variation of human population density using Taylor’s power law, Italy, 1971–2011

open access: yes, 2019
Taylor’s power law (Tpl) is applied to the human population density of Italian regions and provinces for the period 1971–2011. Three different weighting systems are used to estimate Tpl at the national and subnational levels in which seemingly unrelated ...

Development of Enumerative and Binomial Sequential Sampling Plans for Monitoring Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera Erebidae) in Mediterranean Oak Forests

open access: yesAgronomy, 2022
Lymantria dispar is the main threat to Mediterranean forests. Sampling methods used for monitoring the pest population density are generally very time-consuming for practical purposes, such as the delimitation of infested areas for control programs ...

Property of Fluctuations of Sales Quantities by Product Category in Convenience Stores.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The ability to ascertain the extent of product sale fluctuations for each store and locality is indispensable to inventory management. This study analyzed POS data from 158 convenience stores in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan and found a power

Synchrony affects Taylor’s law in theory and data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Two widely confirmed patterns in ecology are Taylor’s law (TL), which states that the variance of population density is approximately a power of mean population density, and population synchrony, the tendency of species’ population sizes in different ...

Large-scale motions from a direct numerical simulation of a turbulent boundary layer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A study of large-scale motions from a new direct numerical simulation database of the turbulent boundary layer up to Re{\theta} ~ 2500 is presented. The statistics of large-scale streamwise structures have been investigated using two-dimensional and ...
