- W2890408308 abstract "Background . The time distribution of biological phenomena (phenology) is a subject of wide interest, but a general statistical distribution to describe and quantify its essential properties is lacking. Existing distributions are limiting, if not entirely inappropriate, because their parameters do not in general correlate with biologically relevant attributes of the organism and the conditions under which they find themselves. Methods . A distribution function that allows quantification of three essential properties of a biological dynamic process occurring over a continuous timescale was derived from first principles. The distribution turned out to have three parameters with clear meanings and units: (i) a scaled rate of completion (dimensionless), (ii) a measure of temporal concentration of the process (units: time -1 ), and (iii) an overall measure of temporal delay (units: time). Its performance as an accurate description of the process was tested with completion data for the London Marathon employing non-linear regression. Results . The parameters of the distribution correlated with biological attributes of the runners (gender and age) and with the maximum temperature on the day of the race. These relationships mirrored known differences in morphology and physiology of participants and the deterioration of these biological attributes with age (senescence), as well as the known effects of hypo- and hyperthermia. Discussion . By relating the variation in parameter values to possible biological and environmental variables, the marathon example demonstrates the ability of the distribution to help identify possible triggers and drivers of the duration, shape and temporal shift of its temporal distribution. This more detailed account of the effect of biological and environmental variables would provide a deeper insight into the drivers of a wide variety of phenological phenomena of high current interest, such as the shifting patterns of leafing, flowering, growth, migration, etc. of many organisms worldwide." @default.
