Establishing the link between habitat selection and animal population dynamics

Building the bridge between animal movement and population dynamics.

While the mechanistic links between animal movement and population dynamics are ecologically obvious, it is much less clear when knowledge of animal movement is a prerequisite for understanding and predicting population dynamics. GPS and other technologies enable detailed tracking of animal location concurrently with acquisition of landscape data and information on individual physiology. These ...

Relationship between Hydromorphological and Ecohydraulic Characteristics Flow Regime to Habitat Suitability Capoeta gracilis (Keyserling, 1861): Understanding Habitat–Population Dynamics Fishes and Ecological Flow Scenarios of Zarrin-Gol River

 Investigation of ecological, hydrological status and habitat Suitability of river is one of the key elements in river ecosystem management. In this regard, in the present study, in order to evaluate the ecological sustainable conditions in Zarrin-Gol River of Golestan Province, during stepwise calculations, echo-hydraulic and hydromorphocological analysis of the habitat of Capoeta gracilis (Ke...

Simulating Past Dynamics and Assessing Current Status of Markhoz Goat Population on Its Habitat

This study was conducted to collect comprehensive identification about Markhoz goat population and to simulate past dynamics of the population under its living conditions.Census data of the population size and the required parametersfor the simulation modelwere obtained frompublished data or were collected in its habitat in the last 3 years. In this study, past population dynamics and expected ...

Establishing a Statistical Link between Network Oscillations and Neural Synchrony

Pairs of active neurons frequently fire action potentials or "spikes" nearly synchronously (i.e., within 5 ms of each other). This spike synchrony may occur by chance, based solely on the neurons' fluctuating firing patterns, or it may occur too frequently to be explicable by chance alone. When spike synchrony above chances levels is present, it may subserve computation for a specific cognitive...
