For this purpose, a series of experiments and simulations was performed using a two-dimensional heterogeneous system (10×1.2 m), which represents an intermediate scale between laboratory and field scales.
Additionally, on intermediate scale between Speyer and Soultz, Schill et al. ([2009]) pointed out that major thermal anomalies are related to horst structures.
Baker's work is the first to combine these two subject areas, and he employs Maurice Agulhon's theory of "sociability," which takes account of a range of interactive social activity among individuals at an intermediate scale, between the family and state (1).
At intermediate scales, transition zones (10 100s of m wide) between the bank and continental slope and shelf sediments supported a diverse and characteristic suite of fish species.
Our results suggest that regional differences in diversity components at coarse scales (γ-diversity, at ≫1 km2, Figure 1B translate into similar differences at intermediate scales and even at very short distances between plots (β-diversity, at <50 m apart, Figure 3A,D) but tend to disappear or even reverse at the finest scales (α-diversity, at 0.25 450 m2, Figure 4).
The existence of an optimum is suggested by the peaking of pathogen dispersal between habitat patches at intermediate scales of habitat heterogeneity relative to the dispersal capacity of pathogens (Skelsey et al. 2013).
Second, if we compare PPM_HLLC, PPM_HLLC_ CFL0.8 and WENOZ_HLLC, we see that doubling the timestep appears to have an effect comparable to the difference between the PPM and WENOZ reconstructions at intermediate scales ((40lesssim k lesssim100)).
We find significant negative correlations between recombination and GC content at small to intermediate scales (up to 64 kb) on all arms except Chr3 L (fig. 4).
One can obtain the maxima-lines between two scales by computing the wavelet transform at several intermediate scales.
The fact that large- and small-bodied bat species were poorly represented in the regional source pools at intermediate scales suggests that there may be a low replacement rate of these species between the local and regional scale [66].
