4.3.5 Relationships
There is a particular type of relationship between N and B. Every species
with a non-empty range should produce a non-empty niche in the environmen-
tal ... distribution.
So the more general approach to niche modeling, an extension of the Hutchin-
sonian niche, is the statistical idea of the probability distribution. Here the
niche mode...

Non-linearity
In mathematics, non-linear systems are, obviously, not linear. Linear sys-
tem and some non-linear systems are easily solvable as ... the prox-
ies.
We now examine the consequences of reconstructing temperatures from
non-linear responses calibrated by four different regions of the response curve
(mo dels R 1-4 ). The left-hand...
