Are landscapes as crisp as we may think (2007, background): “In turn, as stressed by Wu and David (2002), ecological processes possess a high degree of complexity, due to the large number of different components, non-linear interactions, scale multiplicity and spatial heterogeneitythatcontrolthem(seeRicottaandAnand,2006).”
Cross-validation strategies for data with temporal, spatial, hierarchical, or phylogenetic structure (2017, background): “In behavioural ecology, individuals may form groups (herds, flocks, schools, packs) with synchronised activity or movement (hierarchical structure; Wu and David 2002, Sumpter 2006).”
Predicting the spatial distribution of an invasive plant species (Eupatorium adenophorum) in China (2007, background): “Predictive power and practical consequences of the model Hierarchical modeling schemes of environmental control on the spread of species, such as those discussed by Wu and David (2002), may be essential to the improvement of spatial modeling.”
Conceptual Model Development for Invasive Species and a Regional Risk Assessment Case Study: The European Green Crab, Carcinus maenas, at Cherry Point, Washington, USA (2007, methodology): “Regional, or higher, scales are characterized by slower and larger entities (overall context and constraints) whereas lower, local scales are defined by faster and smaller entities (mechanisms and initial conditions) (Wu and David 2002).”
Individual behavior and emergent properties of fish schools: a comparison of observation and theory (2004, background): “…an aligned school appears to be rather like a self-organized critical state, which is dynamically stable until something happens that destroys the self-organization (Bak et al. 1988, Wu & David 2002) —such as a single individual abruptly changing position, forcing other group members to re-shuffle.”
Insect diversity in Cape fynbos and neighbouring South African vegetation (2006, background): “© 2006 The Authors Global Ecology and Biogeography , 15 , 445–451, Journal compilation © 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 447 64 plots (two per set, four sets per transect, two transects per biome, four biomes) were sampled that covered a broad range of spatial scales (cf. Wu & David, 2002 ).”
Using dynamic vegetation models to simulate plant range shifts (2014, background): “Including multiple processes and their interactions is important to capture non-linear and non-additive relationships (Wu and David 2002).”
Simulation modelling of ecological hierarchies in constructive dynamical systems (2007, methodology): “Conceived by its authors as an epistemology, this theory has the important property to emphasize on both top-down and bottom-up perspectives (Wu and David, 2002).”
Object based image analysis for remote sensing (2010, background): “…has nevertheless provided a new, critical bridge between the spatial concepts applied in multiscale landscape analysis (Wu, 1999; Hay et al., 2001; Wu and David, 2002; Burnett and Blaschke, 2003), Geographic Information Systems (GIS, (Câmara et al., 1996; Yu et al., 2006)), Geographic Information…”
Exploring agricultural production systems and their fundamental components with system dynamics modelling (2016, background): “…of applications including the modelling of complex ecological and economic systems (Costanza and Gottlieb, 1998a; Costanza et al., 1998b; Costanza and Voinov, 2001), many of which address, to some extent, the social implications of system behaviour (Wu and Marceau, 2002; Bossel, 2007; Ford, 1999a).”
