Few studies have investigated the long-term temporal dynamics of seagrass beds,
especially in Southeast Asia. Remote sensing is one of the best methods for observing these …

Seagrass wrack, the detritus from seagrass meadows that accumulates along the coast, is
thought to contribute to carbon sequestration in shallow coastal areas when processed into …

Nutria (Myocastor coypus) is a native aquatic rodent to South America, and was introduced
to Europe, Asia, Africa and North America for fur farming. The South American nutria or …

Abstract The raccoon Procyon lotor (Linnaeus 1758) is a native species of North and Central
America, but it can be also found as an alien species in parts of Europe and Asia. The …

It is known that asynchronous temporal variations in local populations can contribute to the
stability of metapopulations. However, studies evaluating the hierarchical organization of …

The habitat suitability of a shorebird metapopulation is studied as a function of the scale
(extent) and resolution (grain-size) of the environmental covariates with a maximum entropy …

The importance of sampling effort in the statistical exploration of spatial autocorrelation is
demonstrated for benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages within the intertidal warm …

The exploitation of deep-sea mineral resources has not yet begun. In order to realize it in the
future, various issues need to be addressed. One such issue is establishing an appropriate …

Abstract Evaluation of the spatial distribution pattern of patchy and fragmental seagrass
beds, as hotspots of faunal biodiversity and of high primary productivity, is key to the robust …

The term scale has been used in many ways. In continuous landscape analysis, the spatial
scale consists of two components; grain and extent. Most previous studies on the scale issue …
