Rainforest metropolis casts 1,000-km defaunation shadow.
Tropical rainforest regions are urbanizing rapidly, yet the role of emerging metropolises in driving wildlife overharvesting in forests and inland waters is unknown. We present evidence of a large defaunation shadow around a rainforest metropolis. Using interviews with 392 rural fishers, we show that fishing has severely depleted a large-bodied keystone fish species, tambaqui (Colossoma macropo...
متن کاملObservation of low frequency electromagnetic activity at 1000 km altitude
We present a statistical study of low frequency fluctuations of electric and magnetic fields, commonly interpreted as Alfvénic activity. The data base consists of six months of electric and magnetic field measurements by the Astrid-2 microsatellite. The occurrence of the events is studied with respect to the location and general activity. Large regions of broadband Alfvénic activity are persist...
متن کاملExperimental defaunation of terrestrial mammalian herbivores alters tropical rainforest understorey diversity.
It has been suggested that tropical defaunation may unleash community-wide cascading effects, leading to reductions in plant diversity. However, experimental evidence establishing cause-effect relationships thereof is poor. Through a 5 year exclosure experiment, we tested the hypothesis that mammalian defaunation affects tree seedling/sapling community dynamics leading to reductions in understo...

Until recently, however, the commercial real estate sector had managed to ride out the storm without serious consequences. Now, increasingly ominous parallels with the residential market are surfacing. Investment in all types of commercial struc...
متن کاملIf a Tree Casts a Shadow Is It Telling the Time?
Physical processes are computations only when we use them to externalize thought. Computation is the performance of one or more fixed processes within a contingent environment. We reformulate the Church-Turing thesis so that it applies to programs rather than to computability. When suitably formulated agent-based computing in an open, multi-scalar environment represents the current consensus vi...
