Geographic range size and extinction risk assessment in nomadic species
Geographic range size is often conceptualized as a fixed attribute of a species and treated as such for the purposes of quantification of extinction risk; species occupying smaller geographic ranges are assumed to have a higher risk of extinction, all else being equal. However many species are mobile, and their movements range from relatively predictable to-and-fro migrations to complex irregul...
متن کاملAre We Underestimating Species Extinction Risk?
July 2005 | Volume 3 | Issue 7 | e259 | e244 Cell membranes are largely made of proteins, and membrane proteins account for about a third of all genes. Despite their importance, they are devilishly hard to isolate and stabilize, and therefore are hard to study. The problem lies in their structure: membrane proteins have at least one hydrophobic domain, composed of a stretch of waterrepelling am...
متن کاملPredicting extinction risk in declining species.
What biological attributes predispose species to the risk of extinction? There are many hypotheses but so far there has been no systematic analysis for discriminating between them. Using complete phylogenies of contemporary carnivores and primates, we present, to our knowledge, the first comparative test showing that high trophic level, low population density slow life history and, in particula...
متن کاملColour-influences on loudness judgements
Judgements of loudness play an important role in basic and applied psychoacoustics, for example in the fields of soundquality engineering or noise abatement. Although loudness mainly depends on physical properties of the sound like level, duration, or spectrum, studies have shown that also visual factors may play a role during the perception and/or judgement of loudness. This contribution focus...
