Subjective familiarity ratings were used to capture variation in participants' familiarity with a location, as opposed to an objective recognition task that do not capture variation in certainty.
The spatial folksonomies capture variation in space of the use of nouns describing 96 natural landscape terms (e.g. ridge, forest, mountain, etc).
We suggest that both temporal and spatial factors be considered in optimizing sampling program design to capture variation of the catch and effort in this fishery.
Specifically, following Castillo et al. (2016) we use changes to the quantity of cocaine being shipped from Colombia to Mexico to capture variation in the value of drug distribution networks to the USA over time.
This representation does not account for time of death, time until death, or length of life, which may be of interest to researchers as structuring rather than latent variables in order to capture variation in demographic data.
This study identifies the importance of independent replication to capture variation in AGLB for carbon storage estimation, and the power of systematic sampling within sites for mapping carbon stocks at meso and larger scales.
Had we simply sampled the LD and HD sites without attention to variation in density (e.g. in a long point-transect study), the mean value for these two sites would have been approximately 46% higher than our estimate for C based on analysis of orthophotos, which more accurately capture variation in tree density across this site.
In contrast, information on WC appears to capture variation in health care costs within BMI categories.
Finally, our measure of spatial cohesion may have been too qualitative to capture variation in monopolization potential.
In addition, an asset index based on 17 items of individual and household wealth was used to capture variation of socioeconomic position in the developing-country setting [32].
We also used variation in density within patches to calculate a patch-scale index of habitat heterogeneity originally created to capture variation in habitat structure relevant to grassland birds [59].
