Effects of Red-Backed Salamanders on Ecosystem Functions
Ecosystems provide a vast array of services for human societies, but understanding how various organisms contribute to the functions that maintain these services remains an important ecological challenge. Predators can affect ecosystem functions through a combination of top-down trophic cascades and bottom-up effects on nutrient dynamics. As the most abundant vertebrate predator in many eastern...
متن کاملEffects of forest fragmentation by secondary roads on genetic differentiation in northern red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus)
Roads can fragment animal populations, which can lead to decreased gene flow between populations. This causes increased genetic differentiation and decreased genetic diversity between and among populations. These affects are well documented in studies focusing upon the effects of urbanization on salamander populations, however, little is known about the effects of rural roads on fragmented popu...
متن کاملWHEN TERRITORIAL SALAMANDERS CHEAT: A TEST OF THE DEAR ENEMY PHENOMENON IN SOUTHERN RED-BACKED SALAMANDERS. Kenzie
ENEMY PHENOMENON IN SOUTHERN RED-BACKED SALAMANDERS. Kenzie Medley, Biology. Faculty Advisor: Dr. Alicia Mathis The “dear enemy” hypothesis states that a territory owner shows reduced aggression toward a neighbor once territorial boundaries are established. Neighbors that do not restrict their activity to the agreed upon territory boundaries can be characterized as “cheaters” and might be subje...
متن کاملObserver gender and observation bias in animal behaviour research: experimental tests with red-backed salamanders
Most studies of animal behaviour are based on direct observations of behaviour in a natural or laboratory context. While the potential for observation biases has often been discussed, there have been few quantitative analyses of the kinds of biases that may affect behavioural data. We used multiple observers of aggression and foraging behaviour in red-backed salamanders, Plethodon cinereus, to ...
متن کاملstudy of hash functions based on chaotic maps
توابع درهم نقش بسیار مهم در سیستم های رمزنگاری و پروتکل های امنیتی دارند. در سیستم های رمزنگاری برای دستیابی به احراز درستی و اصالت داده دو روش مورد استفاده قرار می گیرند که عبارتند از توابع رمزنگاری کلیددار و توابع درهم ساز. توابع درهم ساز، توابعی هستند که هر متن با طول دلخواه را به دنباله ای با طول ثابت تبدیل می کنند. از جمله پرکاربردترین و معروف ترین توابع درهم می توان توابع درهم ساز md4, md...
