The findings highlight the applicability and importance of sensitivity analyses in general, and screening design methods in particular, during early development of ecological individual-based models.
Due to the ecological fallacy, individual level effects will likely be under- or overestimated when using neighbourhood population characteristics to predict an individual's behaviour [ 25].
We conducted a cross-sectional study with ecological and individual analyses.
Zooplankton biology deals with ecological issues, individual and population-based models, and broader topics, such as climate change and fisheries management.
The "ethnographic method" infers social learning, and thus culture, based on a method of elimination of three factors: genetic, ecological, and individual learning.
We analyzed how road distance and skid trail presence affect stand plant communities by examining species composition, distribution of biological and ecological traits, individual species responses and environmental plant indicator values.
Delayed gratification or deferred gratification is an animal behavior that can be linked to delay discounting, ecological factors, individual fitness, and neurobiological mechanisms.
There are four levels of determinants of health behavior in the social ecological framework: individual, organization, community, and population.
Multinomial logistic regression models were calculated to investigate the relationship of ecological and individual level effort, rewards, and ERI with the co-occurrence of lifestyle risk factors.
Future studies should be large, combine ecological and individual information on exposure, evaluate multiple chemicals and not only THMs and evaluate multiple routes.
At both ecological and individual levels, social capital has been linked, after the adjustment for potential confounders, with mortality rates, life expectancy, suicide and homicide rates, sexually transmitted infections and self-rated health [ 3].
