Up or down in space? Uniting the bottom-up versus top-down paradigm and spatial ecology
Why is the World green what keeps herbivores, and herbivorous insects in particular, from consuming all of their food? When this question was first posed, the relative importance of top-down and bottom-up effects was hotly disputed. While modern ecologists may agree that impacts from several different directions will affect local insect densities, the bottom-up vs top-down jargon seems to be st...
متن کاملTop-Down, Bottom-Up, or Both
Operations strategy is formed via complex processes that transpire in multiple directions at multiple organizational levels. While most previous studies focus on the “macro-level” process of strategy formation from the dominant top-down perspective, this study investigates the “micro-level” process of strategy formation that governs interactions among competitive priorities, objectives, and act...
متن کاملTop - Down and / or Bottom - Up ?
To make progress in learning the underlying fundamental theory, it will be necessary to combine bottom-up phenomenology and top-down analysis — in particular, top-down is unlikely to succeed alone. Here I elaborate on the role of both, and describe obstacles that need to be overcome to help data point toward the underlying theory, as well as approaches that might help to bypass full systematic ...
متن کاملInstitutions: Top Down or Bottom Up?
Every once in a while, it is worthwhile for economists to look up from the details of their specialized research projects to the broader worldview that their research results fit or do not fit. Nowhere is this truer than in the field of institutional economics, which can hardly avoid the big picture as it seeks to understand the determinants of institutions and make policy recommendations about...
متن کاملVisual search: bottom-up or top-down?
The aim of the experiments in this paper was to explore the relationship between top-down and bottom-up processes in visual search. Employing behavioral techniques, we first consider the possible role of the magnocellular visual pathway in visual search, and find that visual search does not necessarily depend on processing by this visual sub-system. We next use functional imaging (positron emis...
