How should we assess the comparability of driving on a road and ‘‘driving’’ in a simulator? If similar patterns of behaviour are observed, with similar differences between individuals, then we can conclude that driving in the simulator will deliver representative results and the advantages of simulators (controlled environments, hazardous situations) can be appreciated. To evaluate a driving si...

Developing a comprehensive understanding of inter-city interactions is crucial for regional planning. We therefore examined spatiotemporal patterns population migration across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) using big data from Tencent period between 2015 and 2019. initially used decomposition breakpoint detection methods to examine time-series identify two seasons with strongest weakest levels...

Selective pressures exerted on the feeding behaviour of animals have been extensively studied to understand their foraging patterns. In herbivores, specific within-plant patterns resource exploitation reported, but determinants remain poorly understood. Here, we describe and decipher pattern pollen beetle Brassicogethes aeneus, a pollinivorous insect that is pest oilseed rape Brassica napus. Th...

There have been debates on the driving factors of C4 plant expansion, such as PCO2 decline in the late Micocene and warmer climate and precipitation at large-scale modern ecosystems. These disputes are mainly due to the lack of direct evidence and extensive data analysis. Here we use mass flora data to explore the driving factors of C4 distribution and divergent patterns for different C4 taxa a...
