Nonlinear trends in abundance and diversity and complex responses to climate change in Arctic arthropods.

abstract：:Although they lie at the conceptual core of a wide range of scientific questions, the notions of irregular or "random" arrangement and the process of randomization itself have never been unambiguously defined. Algorithmic implementation of these concepts requires a combinatorial, rather than a probability-theoretic, f...
