An Agent Based Model for Agro-ecosystem
This paper describes research using an agent-based artificial agro-ecosystem model to simulate the interaction between pest movements and trap crop physical design. The result of simulation shows that artificial agro-ecosystem model has a broad application prospect in the field of agro-ecosystem management.

متن کاملInterspecific Killing among Mammalian Carnivores.
Interspecific killing among mammalian carnivores is common in nature and accounts for up to 68% of known mortalities in some species. Interactions may be symmetrical (both species kill each other) or asymmetrical (one species kills the other), and in some interactions adults of one species kill young but not adults of the other. There is a positive significant relationship between the body mass...
متن کاملThe evolution of intelligence in mammalian carnivores.
Although intelligence should theoretically evolve to help animals solve specific types of problems posed by the environment, it is unclear which environmental challenges favour enhanced cognition, or how general intelligence evolves along with domain-specific cognitive abilities. The social intelligence hypothesis posits that big brains and great intelligence have evolved to cope with the labil...
