Human population growth as proximate cause of wetland dynamics
The study examined the influence of population as proximate cause of wetland dynamics in the lower Ogun river basin of southwestern, Nigeria. Both primary and secondary data were used for the study. The primary data included 100 questionnaires administered and distributed among the fadama users group representing 10% of the estimated population of the group. Satellite images of years 1972, 1984...
متن کاملAn ecological valence theory of human color preference.
Color preference is an important aspect of visual experience, but little is known about why people in general like some colors more than others. Previous research suggested explanations based on biological adaptations [Hurlbert AC, Ling YL (2007) Curr Biol 17:623-625] and color-emotions [Ou L-C, Luo MR, Woodcock A, Wright A (2004) Color Res Appl 29:381-389]. In this article we articulate an eco...
متن کاملAn Ecological Valence Theory of Human Color Preferences
Although color preference is an important aspect of human behavior, little is known about why people like some colors more than others. In this paper we probe this issue both theoretically and empirically. First, we discuss Hurlbert and Ling’s (2007) cone-contrast theory, which posits a physiological explanation based on opponent cone outputs and gender differences. We then present an ecologica...
متن کاملEcological and Social Influences on Population Dynamics
I examined social and ecological influences on moose (Alces alces gigas) in Alaska, USA, with respect to hunting success, antler size, and population genetic structure. Catch per unit effort (CPUE) is frequently used to assess hunter success; thus I hypothesized that landscape characteristics and moose density would affect success. Using hunter harvest tickets returned to the Alaska Department ...
متن کاملModeling Population Dynamics in Changing Environments
Discrete replicator dynamics view evolution as a coordination game played among genes. While previous models of discrete replicator dynamics do not consider environments that respond to the mixed strategy that a population plays, our model incorporates a feedbackbased payoff matrix, which depends on the frequency distribution of alleles. In this model, we construct an environment that is compos...
