Occurrences of forest butterflies in the farm bush savannah outside a forest reserve in Ghana, West Africa
The willingness of a species to leave a forest fragment is a prerequisite for subsequent dispersal across the intervening non-forested landscape. Species with stringent fidelity to the forest patch will be isolated from populations in other fragments and predisposed to factors that promote extinction of local populations. Here, we document which fruit-feeding, forest-dwelling butterflies occur ...
متن کاملMining Multivariate Associations within GIS Environments
As geospatial data grows explosively, needs for the incorporation of data mining techniques into Geographic Information Systems (GISs) are in great demand. Association rules mining is a core technique in data mining and is a solid candidate for the cause-effect analysis of large geospatial databases. It efficiently detects frequent asymmetric causal patterns in large databases. In this paper, w...
متن کاملUsing Federal Funds Futures Rates to Predict Federal Reserve Actions
The Federal Reserve implements monetary policy by making discrete adjustments to its target for the federal funds rate. Such adjustments are believed to have significant implications for other short-term interest rates, so considerable resources are expended on forecasting the timing and magnitude of the Fed’s next move. Many analysts, both inside and outside of the Federal Reserve System, look...
متن کاملFruit-feeding Butterfly Communities of Forest ‘islands’ in Ghana: Survey Completeness and Correlates of Spatial Diversity
We conducted a year long survey of the fruit-feeding butterfly fauna of sacred forest groves and forest reserves of Ghana. About one-third of all fruit-feeding species recorded for Ghana were trapped, but our total sample had not yet reached the point of species saturation. Rarefied species richness was higher in the larger forest reserves than in the small sacred groves, as predicted by specie...
متن کاملMining and Environmental Degradation: a Gift Brings Grief Scenario for Mining Communities in Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone is blessed with abundant natural resources but yet prone to environmental degradation due to the mining operations. Most often, the mining communities are faced with social tensions, as a result of the possible trade-off between the expected employment impact and the cost of mining operations to the environment. Over the past decades, the contribution of the mining sector to the de...
