Crop Damage by Primates: Quantifying the Key Parameters of Crop-Raiding Events
Human-wildlife conflict often arises from crop-raiding, and insights regarding which aspects of raiding events determine crop loss are essential when developing and evaluating deterrents. However, because accounts of crop-raiding behaviour are frequently indirect, these parameters are rarely quantified or explicitly linked to crop damage. Using systematic observations of the behaviour of non-hu...
متن کاملBeehive fence deters crop-raiding elephants
Previous work has shown that African elephants Loxodonta africana will avoid African honeybees Apis mellifera scutellata. Here we present results from a pilot study conducted to evaluate the concept of using beehives to mitigate elephant crop depredation. In Laikipia, Kenya, we deployed a 90-m fence-line of nine inter-connected hives, all empty, on two exposed sides of a square two-acre farm th...
متن کاملCan Systematic Reviews Inform GMO Risk Assessment and Risk Management?
Systematic reviews represent powerful tools to identify, collect, synthesize, and evaluate primary research data on specific research questions in a highly standardized and reproducible manner. They enable the defensible synthesis of outcomes by increasing precision and minimizing bias whilst ensuring transparency of the methods used. This makes them especially valuable to inform evidence-based...
متن کاملCan Cwa Inform the Design of Networked Intelligent Systems?
Cognitive work analysis, originally formulated for the process control domain, has seen increasing use in command and control (C2) domains. Process control applications of CWA occur in causal domains, in which the actual process and related limitations of natural laws constrain the system. However, C2 domains are intentional domains which are human-activity based, as opposed to process-control ...
متن کاملHow Cognitive Models Can Inform the Design of Instructions
Instructions represented as lists of steps lead to inflexible and brittle behavior in cognitive models, suggesting that list-style instructions lead to poor learning in people as well. On the basis of this assumption we designed an alternative operatorstyle instruction that produces better learning in models. In an experiment and model of interacting with a simulated Flight Management System, a...
