There's an important development in the global ivory wars, stemming directly from the great National Geographic article (explored on Dot Earth recently) that focused on the demand created by the market for religious icons carved from elephant tusks.
The geographic space explored was from longitude -19 to 180, and from latitude -48 to 72.
Fourth, the smallest geographic unit available was the prefecture (of which there are 47), and we could not explore geographic inequalities in finer detail.
We are not aware, however, of other studies showing such pattern, probably also because most studies evaluating GS across multiple species of a genus did not cover their geographic distribution or did not explore the geographic distribution of monoploid GS.
There are no such studies demonstrating how these tools can be used to explore geographic distributions of recovery outcomes for purposes of prioritizing post-injury interventions.
In future geovisualization systems, the Grid could provide the infrastructure for transparent access to distributed data and computational resource; the semantic Web could be used to achieve automatic, dynamic, and consistent data integration; and visual data mining could be used to visually explore geographic data.
Based on this hypothesis, we combined spatial statistical methods with genetic analytic techniques and explicitly used geographic space to explore genetic evolution of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses at the sub-national scale in Vietnam.
To explore geographic and host-taxonomic patterns of hantaviruses in Paraguay, we established sampling sites in the Mbaracayú Biosphere Reserve.
Analysis of molecular variation (amova) in arlequin 3.11 (Excoffier et al. 2005) was used to explore geographic and temporal structures in both SNP allele frequencies and mtDNA haplotypes.
Spatial analysis allows us to explore geographic heterogeneity of frailty syndrome prevalence, with consequent implications for service provision and equity of care.
We performed a study of the full population of U.S. Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes to explore geographic variation in incident LEA.
