Tigers and their prey: Predicting carnivore densities from prey abundance.
The goal of ecology is to understand interactions that determine the distribution and abundance of organisms. In principle, ecologists should be able to identify a small number of limiting resources for a species of interest, estimate densities of these resources at different locations across the landscape, and then use these estimates to predict the density of the focal species at these locati...
متن کاملCalculating with Requirements
Requirements elicitation is concerned with discovering what is wanted; it necessarily depends on social processes such as discussion, introspection, review of documentation, and experimentation. Requirements engineering, on the other hand, is concerned with turning the products of elicitation into precise, unambiguous, and complete descriptions of what the system under consideration is to do. A...
متن کاملPrey abundance and prey selection by tigers (Panthera tigris) in a semi-arid, dry deciduous forest in western India
Food habits of tigers Panthera tigris in terms of prey abundance were studied in the semi-arid deciduous forests of Ranthambhore National Park, western India, between November 2000 and April 2001. Wild prey availability was assessed by line transects (n = 8) and prey selection by the tigers was determined from analysis of scats (n = 109). Compared to some other parts of the country, prey abunda...
متن کاملCalculating cost savings in utilization management.
A major motivation for managing the utilization of laboratory testing is to reduce the cost of medical care. For this reason it is important to understand the basic principles of cost accounting in the clinical laboratory. The process of laboratory testing includes three distinct components termed the pre-analytic, analytic and post-analytic phases. Utilization management efforts may impact the...
متن کاملCompeting Conservation Objectives for Predators and Prey: Estimating Killer Whale Prey Requirements for Chinook Salmon
Ecosystem-based management (EBM) of marine resources attempts to conserve interacting species. In contrast to single-species fisheries management, EBM aims to identify and resolve conflicting objectives for different species. Such a conflict may be emerging in the northeastern Pacific for southern resident killer whales (Orcinus orca) and their primary prey, Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawyt...
