Convex hulls of planar random walks
… -> ∞ mean and variance asymptotics and establish distributional limits. The results apply to random walks both with drift (the mean of random walk increments) and with no drift under mild moments assumptions on the increments. Assuming increments of the random walk have finite second moment and …

Revised distributional estimates for the recently discovered olinguito (Bassaricyon neblina), using museum and science records
… species is gaining a good understanding of their distributional limits. This is especially important for biodiversity hotspots with high endemism such as the Northern Andes. The olinguito (Procyonidae: Bassaricyon neblina) is a recently described, medium-sized carnivoran found in Northern Andean …

Physiological and Ecological Constraints on the Evolution of Viviparity in Sceloporine Lizards
… thermal requirements determine the northern distributional limit of Sceloporus undulatus. I incubated eggs of S. undulatus under temperature treatments that simulated the thermal environment that eggs would experience if located in nests within their geographic range at 37 °N and at latitudes …

Environmental factors influencing the distribution of bats (Chiroptera) in South Africa
… distribution of South African bat species. The distributional limits of even closely related species within the same genus appear to be influenced by disparate environmental factors. Geology appeared to be the most important limiting factor for 15 of the 37 species, all of which are known to use …

Developmental changes in the structure and function of lobster hemocyanin
… of this system may therefore constrain the distributional limits of the organism. The respiratory system of a substantial number of marine invertebrate species, particularly amongst the decapod crustaceans, contain hemocyanin as the oxygen binding protein. Previous investigations have …
