Analysis of distribution maps from bird atlas data : dissimilarities between species, continuity within ranges and smoothing of distribution maps
Includes bibliographical references. === A dissimilarity coefficient for estimating the dissimilarity between two bird atlas distributions is developed. This coefficient is based on the Euclidean distance concept. The atlas distributions are compared over all quarter degree grid cells. Existing coef...
