This paper aims to provide guidance to ecologists with limited experience in spatial analysis
to help in their choice of techniques. It uses examples to compare methods of spatial …

A new method is introduced to assess the spatial association between two sets of count
data. This features a measure of local association for counts, defined for each sample unit …

By baiting soil samples with larvae of Galleria mellonella detailed surveys of the
occurrences of entomopathogenic fungi were conducted over two consecutive years in the …

In semiarid environments, surface soil properties play a major role in ecosystem dynamics,
through their influence on processes such as runoff, infiltration, seed germination, and …

In arid and semi-arid areas with sparse vegetation cover, the spatial pattern of surface soil
properties affects water and nutrient flows, and is a question of considerable interest for …
