A least-cost network neutral landscape model of human sites and routes
ContextNeutral landscape models generate virtual landscapes that enable computer-based exploration of the effects of spatial patterns on ecological...
-
Binary space partitioning generates hierarchical and rectilinear neutral landscape models suitable for human-dominated landscapes
ContextNeutral landscape models are useful and popular tools for exploring effects of spatial patterns on ecological processes. Most neutral...

Using neutral landscape models to evaluate the umbrella species concept in an ecotone
ContextSteep declines in North American rangeland biodiversity have prompted researchers and managers to use umbrella species as a tool to manage...

Mechanistic neutral models show that sampling biases drive the apparent explosion of early tetrapod diversity
Estimates of deep-time biodiversity typically rely on statistical methods to mitigate the impacts of sampling biases in the fossil record. However,...

The Memory Problem for Neutral Mutational Models of Evolution
Models for the evolution of various phenotypes are sometimes constructed with an assumption that mutational effects will be symmetrically distributed...

Can higher aggressiveness effectively compensate for a virulence deficiency in plant pathogen? A case study of Puccinia triticina’s fitness evolution in a diversified varietal landscape
Plant resistances impose strong selective pressure on plant pathogen populations through the deployment of resistance genes, which leads to the...

Niche and neutral-based processes differ in importance for common and rare species in a metacommunity of anurans in subtropical grasslands
Most species-rich communities consist of a limited number of common species and many rare species. This widespread ecological pattern can arise due...
