Several biogeographical hypotheses have been proposed to explain microbial distribution, but there is ongoing debate about the magnitude of the contribution of niche based processes and historical contingencies in determining ...

In change point problems in general we should answer three questions: how many changes are there? Where are they? And, what is the distribution of the data within the blocks? In this paper, we develop a new full predictivistic ...

This paper extends previous results for the classical product partition model applied to the identification of multiple change points in the means and variances of time series. Prior distributions for these two parameters ...

The metacommunity theory includes processes that contribute, at different scales, to the understanding of the distribution of organisms in space and aims to assess the relative importance of spatial and environmental factors ...

Cultivated bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an allohexaploid species resulting from the natural hybridization and chromosome doubling of allotetraploid durum wheat (T. turgidum) and a diploid goatgrass Aegilops tauschii ...
