In the past decade, theoretical ecologists have emphasized that local interactions between
predators and prey may invoke emergent spatial patterning at larger spatial scales …

Ecologists sometimes have a less-than-rigorous background in quantitative methods, yet
research within this broad field is becoming increasingly mathematical. Written in a step-by …

The distribution of microphytobenthos on intertidal flats is heterogeneous and described as
“patchy” over spatial scales of centimetres to kilometres. The spatial structure and the …

В пособии обобщены данные мировой литературы и результаты собственных
исследований авторов по обоснованию и применению парадигмы самоподобия …

Recently, Lévy walks have been put forward as a new paradigm for animal search and many
cases have been made for its presence in nature. However, it remains debated whether …

We describe a novel, field‐deployable hyperspectral imaging system, called Hypersub, that
allows noninvasive in situ mapping of the microphytobenthos (MPB) biomass distribution …

Behavioural adaptations of ectotherms to thermally heterogeneous environments are still
overlooked in the literature despite the fact that organismal behaviour could enhance …

Fractal analysis is increasingly used to describe, and provide further understanding to,
zooplankton swimming behavior. This may be related to the fact that fractal analysis and the …

Biological activity on the bottom of the seabed is known to have significant influence on the
dynamics of cohesive sediment on a small spatial and temporal scale. In this study, we aim …

The occurrence of power law relationships in the spatial distribution of sedimentary
lithotopes has been identified in both modern and ancient carbonate depositional bodies. In …
