In the last decade, there has been a growing body of literature addressing the utilization of
complex network methods for the characterization of dynamical systems based on time …

Turbulent and vortical flows are ubiquitous and their characterization is crucial for the
understanding of several natural and industrial processes. Among different techniques to …

One of the ubiquitous features of real-life turbulent flows is the existence and persistence of
coherent vortices. Here we show that such coherent vortices can be extracted as clusters of …

Gene flow governs the contemporary spatial structure and dynamic of populations as well as
their long-term evolution. For species that disperse using atmospheric or oceanic flows …

Abstract The Tara Pacific expedition (2016–2018) sampled coral ecosystems around 32
islands in the Pacific Ocean and the ocean surface waters at 249 locations, resulting in the …

Over the last two decades the complex network paradigm has proven to be a fruitful tool for
the investigation of complex systems in many areas of science; for example, the Internet …

Dynamical systems often exhibit the emergence of long-lived coherent sets, which are
regions in state space that keep their geometric integrity to a high extent and thus play an …

Aim Assessing the spatial structure and dynamics of marine populations is still a major
challenge in ecology. The need to manage marine resources from ecosystem and large …

Buoyant marine plastic debris has become a serious problem affecting the marine
environment. To fully understand the impact of this problem, it is important to understand the …

Regionalisation aims at delimiting provinces within which physical conditions, chemical
properties, and biological communities are reasonably homogeneous. This article proposes …
