Flexible models for non-equidispersed count data: comparative performance of parametric models to deal with underdispersion
(2022-01-01)
Count data as response variables are commonly modeled using Poisson regression models, which require equidispersion, i.e., equal mean and variance. However, this relationship does not always occur, and the variance may be ...
A Fuzzy mathematical model to estimate the effects of global warming on the vitality of Laelia purpurata orchids
(2017-06-01)
This study aimed to develop a fuzzy mathematical model to estimate the impacts of global warming on the vitality of Laelia purpurata growing in different Brazilian environmental conditions. In order to develop the mathematical ...
Prospecting the potential of ecosystem restoration: A proposed framework and a case study
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-11-01)
Projects focusing on the restoration of degraded ecosystems have to be financially appealing, spatially multiscaled, and ecologically efficient. Considering such premises, a model was elaborated to assess the locals in ...
Climate change impacts on the Copernicia alba and Copernicia prunifera (Arecaceae) distribution in South America
(2022-01-01)
Climate changes are one of the main factors that affect palm trees distribution in the tropics. Among the palm trees with social, economic, and ecological relevance, we highlight the native species, Copernicia alba Morong ...
Ecological efficiency and thermoeconomic analysis of a cogeneration system at a hospital
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2012-06-01)
This work aims with an approach for cogeneration plants evaluation based on thermoeconomic functional diagram analysis. The second law of thermodynamics is used to develop a methodology to analyse cogeneration systems, ...
Phlebotominae of epidemiological importance in cutaneous leishmaniasis in northwestern Argentina: risk maps and ecological niche models
(Wiley, 2013-03)
In Argentina, 58.2% out of the 8126 Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) incident cases accumulated from 1954 to 2006 were reported in the provinces of Salta and Jujuy. The aim of this study was to develop an exploratory risk map ...
Development of a dynamic framework to explain population patterns of leisure-time physical activity through agent-based modeling
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Abstract
Despite the increasing body of evidences on the factors influencing leisure-time physical activity, our understanding of the mechanisms and interactions that lead to the formation and evolution of ...
Amount and spatial distribution of habitats influence occupancy and dispersal of frogs at multiple scales in agricultural landscape
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-11-21)
Agriculture changes the aquatic and terrestrial habitats used by animals, affecting their responses to matrix permeability. Here, we evaluated the impacts that resulted from the replacement of native vegetation with pastures ...
Assessing ecological indicators for remnant vegetation strips as functional biological corridors in chilean vineyards
(MDPI, 2021)
Mediterranean central Chile is globally recognized as a hotspot for terrestrial biodiversity
due to its high endemism and massive habitat loss. However, within the rural landscape of central
Chile, significant extents ...
Enhanced species coexistence in Lotka-Volterra competition models due to nonlocal interactions
(2021-12-07)
We introduce and analyze a spatial Lotka-Volterra competition model with local and nonlocal interactions. We study two alternative classes of nonlocal competition that differ in how each species’ characteristics determine ...
