mfSBA: Multifractal analysis of spatial patterns in ecological communities
Multifractals have been applied to characterize complex communities in a spatial context. They were developed for nonlinear systems and are particularly suited to capture multiplicative processes observed in ecological systems. Multifractals characterize variability in a scale-independent way within an experimental range. I have developed an open-source software package to estimate multifractal...
متن کاملMetacommunities . Spatial Dynamics and Ecological Communities
In the early to mid-twentieth-century ecology was often dismissed as “the study of everything connected to everything else.” This book’s title, obviously extending Levins’s metapopulation concept, suggests an expanded interest in ecological linkages. The editors, also major contributors, are to be commended for the assembly, and the conceptual integration they anticipate will launch a new (and ...
متن کاملModeling inequality levels with the help of spatial and non-spatial indices in northern Khorasan
This paper aims to explain the inequality and imbalance in the developmental levels of 6 selected cities in North Khorasan. The paper seeks to answer these two questions as to whether the spatial and non-spatial indices in regional disparities have an effect on equality? And can we achieve a functional model based on the evaluation of indicators? In order to achieve the goal and the answer to t...

متن کاملSpatial scaling in model plant communities.
We present an analytically tractable variant of the voter model that provides a quantitatively accurate description of Beta diversity (two-point correlation function) in two tropical forests. The model exhibits novel scaling behavior that leads to links between ecological measures such as relative species abundance and the species-area relationship.
