Stability analysis of a nonhomogeneous Markovian landscape model
TL;DR: Using Lyapunov stability theory, the theorem that the family of these transition matrices will be stable if the symmetric matrices associated with the vertex matrices have matrix measures less than two has been proved.

Long‐term effects of grazing intensity on strategies and spatial components of functional diversity in subtropical grassland
TL;DR: The longterm cattle grazing management experiment in subtropical Campos grassland allowed us to reveal the effect of not only grazing disturbance per se, but also of different grazing intensities, suggesting a separation in species by their functional strategies.

Long-term primary succession: a comparison of non-spatial and spatially explicit inferential techniques
Nick A. Cutler,Nick A. Cutler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of patchiness on inferred developmental trajectories by comparing a non-spatial analysis of long-term primary succession with a spatially explicit analysis of the same data.

Predation upon reptiles in Mediterranean habitats of Chile, Spain and California: A comparative analysis.
TL;DR: Behavior and morphological attributes evidently make some species more vulnerable to predation and others less so than their abundances would predict, and the overall importance of reptiles is lowest in Chile, intermediate in California, and highest in Spain.
