Finding Common Ground for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

Recently, some members of the conservation community have used ecosystem services as a strategy to conserve biodiversity. Others in the community have criticized this strategy as a distraction from the mission of biodiversity conservation. The debate continues, and it remains unclear whether the concerns expressed are significant enough to merit the opposition. Through an exploration of the sci...

Finding Common Ground

For more than two decades, capacitive sensing has played a prominent role in human-computer interaction research. Capacitive sensing has become ubiquitous on mobile, wearable, and stationary devices—enabling fundamentally new interaction techniques on, above, and around them. The research community has also enabled human position estimation and whole-body gestural interaction in instrumented en...

Endangered species management: the US experience

To many people around the world, the conservation of endangered species is synonymous with the conservation of biodiversity. Ecologists, of course, understand that biodiversity encompasses far more than endangered species, but it is nonetheless true that endangered species are among the most visible and easily understood symbols of the ongoing loss of biodiversity (see Chapter 10). The protecti...

Finding common ground: integrating the eagle-i and VIVO ontologies

This paper describes the approach and strategies we have been ap-­‐ plying during the process of integrating and modularizing the eagle-­‐i and VIVO ontologies into the Integrated Semantic Framework. As this effort is yet on going, we will subsequently provide an evaluation...
