Modeling elephant-mediated cascading effects of water point closure.
Wildlife management to reduce the impact of wildlife on their habitat can be done in several ways, among which removing animals (by either culling or translocation) is most often used. There are, however, alternative ways to control wildlife densities, such as opening or closing water points. The effects of these alternatives are poorly studied. In this paper, we focus on manipulating large her...
متن کاملCascading Dialog Modeling with UsiXML
In the last years User Interface Description Languages (UIDL) appeared as a suitable solution for developing multi-target user interfaces. By applying appropriate model transformations, specifications of User Interfaces (UI) created with UIDLs can be reused and adapted according to constraints imposed by input/output devices, different contexts of use, or specific user preference. From a techni...
متن کاملCascading effects of predator richness
www.frontiersinecology.org W know that predators play a vital role in maintaining the structure and stability of communities and that their removal can have a variety of cascading, indirect effects (Terborgh et al. 2001; Duffy 2003; Figure 1). But how important is predator richness? Are the numbers of predator genotypes, species, and functional groups ecologically important properties of predat...
متن کاملConsumer-mediated recycling and cascading trophic interactions.
Cascading trophic interactions mediated by consumers are complex phenomena, which encompass many direct and indirect effects. Nonetheless, most experiments and theory on the topic focus uniquely on the indirect, positive effects of predators on producers via regulation of herbivores. Empirical research in aquatic ecosystems, however, demonstrate that the indirect, positive effects of consumer-m...
متن کاملEffects of sea-level rise on northern elephant seal breeding habitat at Point Reyes Peninsula, California
1. Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) historically experienced a significant population decrease to the brink of extinction owing to human exploitation, but have since recovered and recolonized former breeding/haul-out sites. Point Reyes Peninsula, California, is one location where population increase has resulted in colony expansion. 2. Initial models identified suitable breedin...
