Abstract: Abstract Species abundance distributions (SADs) link species richness with species abundances and are an important tool in the quantitative analysis of ecological communities. Niche‐based and sample‐based SAD models predict different spatial scaling properties of SAD… read more here.

Abstract: Understanding the spatial scaling of population stability is critical for informing conservation strategies. A recently proposed metric for quantifying how population stability varies across scales is the invariability-area relationship (IAR), but the underlying drivers shaping… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-10401-x
Abstract: The current study tested strategies of spatial scaling in the haptic domain. Blindfolded adults (N = 31, aged 20–24 years) were presented with an embossed graphic including a target and asked to encode a target location on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/20445911.2019.1624554
Abstract: ABSTRACT Spatial scaling refers to the ability to map distances between different-sized spaces. This ability has been predominantly investigated in sighted individuals using map-reading tasks. Studies with blind individuals using similar tasks were less informative… read more here.
