THE YEAR IN ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 2009 Long-Term Population Cycles in Human Societies
Human population dynamics are usually conceptualized as either boundless growth or growth to an equilibrium. The implicit assumption underlying these paradigms is that any feedback processes regulating population density, if they exist, operate on a fast-time-scale, and therefore we do not expect to observe population oscillations in human population numbers. This review asks, are population pr...

متن کاملCostly punishment across human societies.
Recent behavioral experiments aimed at understanding the evolutionary foundations of human cooperation have suggested that a willingness to engage in costly punishment, even in one-shot situations, may be part of human psychology and a key element in understanding our sociality. However, because most experiments have been confined to students in industrialized societies, generalizations of thes...
متن کاملInteraction in Human-Robot Societies
As robots evolve into an integral part of the human ecosystem, humans and robots are getting involved in a multitude of collaborative tasks that require complex coordination and cooperation. Indeed there has been extensive work in the robotics, planning as well as the human-robot interaction communities to understand and facilitate such seamless teaming. However, it has been argued that their i...
متن کاملBig Decisions and Sparse Data: Adapting Scientific Publishing to the Needs of Practical Conservation
The biggest challenge in conservation biology is breaking down the gap between research and practical management. A major obstacle is the fact that many researchers are unwilling to tackle projects likely to produce sparse or messy data because the results would be difficult to publish in refereed journals. The obvious solution to sparse data is to build up results from multiple studies. Conseq...
