Thus, most of the earlier studies (Herold 1925; Verhoeff 1931; Miller 1938; Meinertz 1944) were largely concerned with the different patterns of distribution exhibited by various isopod species. Herold (1925) tried to arrange the various isopod species found in different habitats and relate their...
Theoretically, the distribution patterns and influencing factors of these distinctive parasitic types which adopted various parasitic strategies may well be different, but little is known about this interesting issue. Parasitic plants are widely distributed in major biomes across the Earth. They can be ...
Aquatic microorganisms in the sediment and water column are closely related; however, their distribution patterns between these two habitats still remain largely unknown. In this study, we compared sediment and water microeukaryotic and bacterial microorganisms in aquaculture ponds from different areas in...
After the Axial Age, the West moved toward continuous disunity, but China had successfully maintained a persistent unity pattern. Conventional case (history event) studies are subject to selection bias and theoretical frameworks, which is not objective n
Different patterns and strengths of trait evolution among plant populations lead to population-level differences in plant phenotypes, called plant races, or ecotypes, in case population differences are also associated to local adaptation89. In our experiment, the combination of soil difference and bee...

Moreover; distinct distribution patterns of bacterial taxa were observed in all three rhizo-compartments of two-year and 30-year monoculture tea; mediated strongly by soil pH and catechin-containing compounds. These results will help to explore the reasons why soil quality and fertility are ...
First, we ignored the effect of uneven population distribution and assumed that the total population was homogeneously distributed. Second, we ignored the differences in individual susceptibility and we assumed that infection susceptibility for all individuals in the free environment was the same; whereas...
Alternatively, link-type preferences could be estimated over the whole population of agents, i.e., \(p(a_k) = \sum _{i,t}\mathbbm {1}_{\{B_{it} =a_k\}}/\sum _{i}N_i\). The probability that two agents randomly use the same link type in a given event is defined as \(...
(such as droughts, heatwaves, and vermin outbreaks) from the previous year or pre-fire season may suppress vegetation growth and maintain fire-prone conditions of fuels38,39. Positive patterns are found mostly in drier and temperate regions (e.g., the western United States, African savannahs,...
