Spatial Heterogeneity, Spatial Scale, and Productivity
Invasive species are one of the most significant threats to native species diversity, and identifying the factors that make places more or less invasible has been one of the most important issues in the study of invasions (Wilcove et al., 1998; Pimentel et al., 2000). From a theoretical perspective, the reasons some communities are more invasible than others is a question that continues to intr...
متن کاملFcγ Receptor Heterogeneity in Leukocyte Functional Responses
Antibodies participate in defense of the organism from all types of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. IgG antibodies recognize their associated antigen via their two Fab portions and are in turn recognized though their Fc portion by specific Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) on the membrane of immune cells. Multiple types and polymorphic variants of FcγR exist. These receptors ar...
متن کاملSpatial and functional heterogeneity of sphingolipid-rich membrane domains.
Little is known about the organization of lipids in biomembranes. Lipid rafts are defined as sphingolipid- and cholesterol-rich clusters in the membrane. Details of the lipid distribution of lipid rafts are not well characterized mainly because of a lack of appropriate probes. Ganglioside GM1-specific protein, cholera toxin, has long been the only lipid probe of lipid rafts. Recently it was sho...
متن کاملQuantifying spatial heterogeneity at the landscape scale using variogram models
The monitoring of earth surface dynamic processes at a global scale requires high temporal frequency remote sensing observations which are provided up to now by moderate spatial resolution sensors. However, the spatial heterogeneity within the moderate spatial resolution pixel biases non-linear estimation processes of land surface variables from remote sensing data. To limit its influence on th...
متن کاملGenome-scale investigation of olfactory system spatial heterogeneity
The early olfactory system is organized in parallel, with numerous, specialized subsystems established by the modular and topographic projections of sensory inputs. While these anatomical sub-systems are in many cases demarcated by well-known marker genes, we stand to learn considerably more about their possible functional specializations from comprehensive, genome-scale descriptions of their m...
