Bayesian analysis of size-dependent overwinter mortality from size-frequency distributions.
Understanding the relationship between body size and mortality is an important problem in ecology. We introduce a novel Bayesian method that can be used to quantify this relationship when the only data available are size-frequency distributions of unmarked individuals measured at two successive time periods. The inverse Gaussian distribution provides a parametric form for the statistical model ...
متن کاملIntraspecific Body Size Frequency Distributions of Insects
Although interspecific body size frequency distributions are well documented for many taxa, including the insects, intraspecific body size frequency distributions (IaBSFDs) are more poorly known, and their variation among mass-based and linear estimates of size has not been widely explored. Here we provide IaBSFDs for 16 species of insects based on both mass and linear estimates and large sampl...
متن کاملFrequency-Dependent Changes in NMDAR-Dependent Synaptic Plasticity
The NMDAR-dependent synaptic plasticity is thought to mediate several forms of learning, and can be induced by spike trains containing a small number of spikes occurring with varying rates and timing, as well as with oscillations. We computed the influence of these variables on the plasticity induced at a single NMDAR containing synapse using a reduced model that was analytically tractable, and...
متن کاملSize Frequency Distributions for Very Small Craters on Mars
Introduction: Mars is a complex world, as has been increasingly revealed by the numerous missions to that planet during the past decade. Conclusions about the planet’s global geological processes of cratering and erosion (e.g. as reviewed by Chapman & Jones [1]), as inferred from early global imaging (e.g. Mariner 9 and Viking Orbiters) may retain some generalized credibility, but as the resolu...
متن کاملCompetitive intransitivity and size-frequency distributions of interacting populations.
The competitive ranking of three marine sessile organisms was determined from overgrowth observations and found to be intrasitive. Overgrowth results were dependent upon relative vertical relief which, in turn, was related to colony area. Discriminant function analysis demonstrates that competitive rankings can be largely predicted on the basis of knowledge of the size-frequency distribution of...
