A PIXEL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE AND UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM FOR HORIZONTAL DISPLACEMENT IN THE LANDSLIDE POTENTIAL AREA

A pixel analysis technique and unmanned aircraft system for horizontal displacement in the landslide potential area

Abstract Quantitative horizontal displacement in the landslide potential area is necessary for mitigating casualties, property damage, and economic loss.Focusing on a sliding within a deep-seated landslide potential area located in Guanghua area in northern Taiwan, this study employed an unmanned aerial system (UAS) to capture and produce seven hig

Convergent and divergent patterns of morphological differentiation provide more evidence for reproductive character displacement in a wood cricket Gryllus fultoni (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)

Abstract Background In ecological character displacement, traits involved in reproductive isolation may not evolve in arbitrary directions when changes in these traits are by-products of adaptation to an ecological niche.In reproductive character displacement, however, selection acts directly on reproductive characters to enhance the degree of repr
