Energy landscapes shape animal movement ecology.
The metabolic costs of animal movement have been studied extensively under laboratory conditions, although frequently these are a poor approximation of the costs of operating in the natural, heterogeneous environment. Construction of "energy landscapes," which relate animal locality to the cost of transport, can clarify whether, to what extent, and how movement properties are attributable to en...
متن کاملBiodiversity Conservation through Landscape Ecology
Viet Nam’s landscape is constantly changing as land use changes. Sometimes the resources base benefits where forests are protected and allowed to regenerate naturally, bare land is reforested, or where swidden land is converted to more intensive agriculture. Sometimes resources are lost where forests are exploited for timber, cleared for agricultural or grazing, or burnt by spreading wildfires.
متن کاملModeling Dynamics of Patchy Landscapes: Linking Metapopulation Theory, Landscape Ecology and Conservation Biology
The only thing about Nature that is certain and absolute is patchiness in space and time. All landscapes are patchy over a range of scales as consequences of natural and anthropogenic processes. To understand the dynamics of hierarchically structured, heterogeneous systems, models are important in several ways. Models can be used to generate new hypotheses, to clarify and test existing hypothes...

متن کاملFunctional landscape heterogeneity and animal biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.
Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes can be increased with conversion of some production lands into 'more-natural'- unmanaged or extensively managed - lands. However, it remains unknown to what extent biodiversity can be enhanced by altering landscape pattern without reducing agricultural production. We propose a framework for this problem, considering separately compositional heterogeneity ...
