Landscape Patterns of an Aquatic Invader: Assessing Dispersal Extent from Spatial Distributions
Assessing the spatial distribution of organisms across landscapes is a key step toward determining processes that produce observed patterns. The spatial distribution of an invasive aquatic mollusk, the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha), was examined in two lake-rich areas (Belarus and midwestern United States) with contrasting invasion histories. Spatial distribution patterns of invaded lakes...
متن کاملAmphibian Distributions in a Landscape of Forests and Agriculture: an Examination of Landscape Composition and Configuration
Landscapes can be described by two essential features: the composition and spatial arrangement of patches. We considered the roles of these basic landscape descriptors by examining how the occurrence of nine amphibian species in breeding ponds was associated with the area of forested habitat and the proximity of ponds to forested habitat. We used visual and call surveys to compare the compositi...
متن کاملSpatial Patterns and Size Distributions of Cities
City size distributions are known to be well approximated by power laws across many countries. By far the most popular explanation for such power-law regularities is in terms of random growth processes, where power laws arise asymptotically from the assumption of iid growth rates among all cities within a given country. But this assumption has additional consequences. Since all subsets of citie...
متن کاملSpatial Patterns of Poverty in Iran
Poverty can have spatial dimensions. While general figures might show the spatial pattern of poverty, there is a need for more detailed examination of this pattern. Relying on simple figures of spatial patterns and ranking regions based on them might be misleading. This paper tries to apply spatial analysis methodsm, namely spatial autoregressive models to find out the impacts of space on the h...
متن کاملFirst Contact Distributions for Spatial Patterns: Regularity and Estimation
For applications in spatial statistics, an important property of a random set X in R k is its rst contact distribution. This is the distribution of the distance from a xed point 0 to the nearest point of X, where distance is measured using scalar dilations of a xed test set B. We show that, if B is convex and contains a neighbourhood of 0, the rst contact distribution function F B is absolutely...
