We examined patterns of spatial heterogeneity in the Spring River basin fish community along with environmental correlates to assess the relative importance of geographic distances and habitat ...

Juveniles and adults displayed the same spatial pattern in 64% of the sites. Hotspots, areas with locally-high densities, for adults overlapped with juvenile hotspots at ½ of the sites, suggesting ...

A new study links grazing halo patterns in coral reefs, as well as those in other patchy habitats, to the spatial patterns of the shelter habitat itself. The researchers found that grazing halos ...

This study reveals new techniques for creating and manipulating azopolymer-based microstructures, advancing the field of diffractive optics and light control.

They discovered that the dynamics of biocrusts in drylands are regulated by spatial and temporal scale-dependent feedbacks, ultimately leading to the formation of self-organized Turing patterns.
