Climate change, migratory connectivity and changes in laying date and clutch size of the pied flycatcher
Article Abstract:
Long-term variability in laying dates and clutch sizes in a Finnish population of the pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca was examined and whether the potential changes occur due to climatic factors was analyzed. Evidence for a seasonal carryover effect from wintering to breeding grounds on clutch distribution at the population level was found and measures of spread and symmetry gave different information about population level changes than means.

A scalar analysis of landscape connectivity
Article Abstract:
The structural and biological components of landscape connectivity through the explicit treatment of their spatial and temporal scales are described. The framework, performance and implications for the comparison of scalar phenomena based on Watt's unit pattern are discussed.

Self-organization and complexity in historical landscape patterns
Article Abstract:
The historical landscape of southern Wisconsin (USA) is investigated for self-organization and complexity. Results indicate a good agreement of the measures of comparison between the observed and the simulated landscape.
