Reconciling conflicting perspectives for biodiversity conservation in the Anthropocene
© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org H environmental impacts are now so extensive and pervasive that many consider that the planet has entered a new geological epoch – the Anthropocene. Increasingly, efforts to conserve biodiversity are confronted with new challenges resulting from profound changes to many biotic and abiotic processes (Steffen et al. 2004; MA 2005), wh...
متن کاملApplication of the Bankruptcy Theory and Conflicting Claims on Water Resources Allocation of Zayanderud
Solving the Water conflict and optimal allocation of common water resources are the most important service of cooperative game theory to water economics. Zayandehrud basin is the most important disputed basin in several neighboring provinces in the first class basin of Iran's central plateau. The purpose of this research is to use the game theory with application of Bankruptcy approach (conflic...
متن کاملInformation Theory of Genomes
Relation of genome sizes to organisms’ complexity is still described rather equivocally. Neither the number of genes (G-value), nor the total amount of DNA (Cvalue) correlates consistently with phenotype complexity. Using information theory considerations we developed a model that allows a quantative estimate for the amount of functional information in a genomic sequence. This model easily answ...
متن کاملParasites and the neutral theory of biodiversity
At a time when biodiversity is under threat from human encroachment upon, and destruction of, natural habitats, we are in a dire need of a theory of biodiversity that integrates what we know of the processes responsible for the origin and maintenance of species diversity in a predictive framework. Hubbell (2001) proposes such a theory, analogous to the neutral allele theory of molecular evoluti...
متن کاملAdvancing the metabolic theory of biodiversity.
A component of metabolic scaling theory has worked towards understanding the influence of metabolism over the generation and maintenance of biodiversity. Specific models within this 'metabolic theory of biodiversity' (MTB) have addressed temperature gradients in speciation rate and species richness, but the scope of MTB has been questioned because of empirical departures from model predictions....
