Quantifying International Travel Flows Using Flickr
Online social media platforms are opening up new opportunities to analyse human behaviour on an unprecedented scale. In some cases, the fast, cheap measurements of human behaviour gained from these platforms may offer an alternative to gathering such measurements using traditional, time consuming and expensive surveys. Here, we use geotagged photographs uploaded to the photo-sharing website Fli...
متن کاملMultiterminal Network Flows with Inverse Linear Constraints in Engineering Networks*
The necessity of using and studying models that are similar to reality leads to the development of new network flows, generalizing the already known network structures. The multiterminal network flow is a natural development of the classical flow with one source and one sink and fixed upper limits of the flow function on each arc [1, 2]. There exists a number of engineering and economic problem...
متن کاملSimulating Food Web Dynamics along a Gradient: Quantifying Human Influence
Realistically parameterized and dynamically simulated food-webs are useful tool to explore the importance of the functional diversity of ecosystems, and in particular relations between the dynamics of species and the whole community. We present a stochastic dynamical food web simulation for the Kelian River (Borneo). The food web was constructed for six different locations, arrayed along a grad...
متن کاملFood web stability: the influence of trophic flows across habitats.
In nature, fluxes across habitats often bring both nutrient and energetic resources into areas of low productivity from areas of higher productivity. These inputs can alter consumption rates of consumer and predator species in the recipient food webs, thereby influencing food web stability. Starting from a well-studied tritrophic food chain model, we investigated the impact of allochthonous inp...
متن کاملFood web models: a plea for groups.
The concept of a group is ubiquitous in biology. It underlies classifications in evolution and ecology, including those used to describe phylogenetic levels, the habitat and functional roles of organisms in ecosystems. Surprisingly, this concept is not explicitly included in simple models for the structure of food webs, the ecological networks formed by consumer-resource interactions. We presen...
