Quantitative recommendations for amphibian terrestrial habitat conservation derived from habitat selection behavior.
Conservation scientists have noted that conservation managers rarely use scientific information when making decisions. One of the reasons why managers rarely use scientific information may be that conservation scientists rarely provide their knowledge in a way that can directly be used by conservation practitioners. Here we show how quantitative recommendations for conservation can be derived. ...
متن کاملHormones and Behaviour Vary with Life History
Androgens regulate sperm production, the expression of secondary sex characters and behavior in males and also vice versa, androgens are modulated by the male’s interactions with his social environment. In search for a regular internal “cycle” of hormones and behavior in men, the individual time patterns of salivary testosterone and progesterone of adult healthy men, self-reported behavior and ...
متن کاملParrotfish movement patterns vary with spatiotemporal scale
Herbivorous fishes are being increasingly valued for their ecological function in coral reef systems, and consequently they have become the focus of management actions on many reefs around the world. Because many conservation actions require an understanding of the space use patterns of species of interest, there has been an increased effort in recent years to study the movement patterns and ho...
متن کاملHabitat Selection and Movement Patterns in Sandhills Rodents
Using fl uorescent pigments, we were able to gather accurate information about the use of habitat and movement patterns of small nocturnal rodents. Use of habitat is strongly affected by the patchiness of vegetation of the sandhills. Microtus ochrogaster occupies the dense grass, Dipodomys ordii occupies the open sandy area, and Perognathus hispidus and P. fl avescens occupy a mixed grass-forb ...
متن کاملModeling Habitat Split: Landscape and Life History Traits Determine Amphibian Extinction Thresholds
Habitat split is a major force behind the worldwide decline of amphibian populations, causing community change in richness and species composition. In fragmented landscapes, natural remnants, the terrestrial habitat of the adults, are frequently separated from streams, the aquatic habitat of the larvae. An important question is how this landscape configuration affects population levels and if i...
