the vegetation covering of a region has a direct correlation with climate. so if data is available for vegetation cover, the second variable (climate) can be easily predicted and in reverse. the dominant species in a region are indication of its climatic conditions and vice versa. accordingly, this is of significance in the science of historical botany. fortunately, from the first millennium ad...

Plant and animal disease outbreaks have significant ecological and economic impacts. The spatial extent of control is often informed solely by administrative geography - for example, quarantine of an entire county or state once an invading disease is detected - with little regard for pathogen epidemiology. We present a stochastic model for the spread of a plant pathogen that couples spread in t...

This research letter critically reflects on the missing animal gaze in tourism studies and elaborates urgency of including it discussion about relationship between human non-human animals. Drawing Foucauldian John Urry’s tourist gaze, we reflect unproblematised power imbalance gazes that is inherent representations. Inspired by posthuman thinking, use features critical theory, sociology, geogra...
