Geographic range size and extinction risk assessment in nomadic species
Geographic range size is often conceptualized as a fixed attribute of a species and treated as such for the purposes of quantification of extinction risk; species occupying smaller geographic ranges are assumed to have a higher risk of extinction, all else being equal. However many species are mobile, and their movements range from relatively predictable to-and-fro migrations to complex irregul...
متن کاملOn size and extinction: a random walk model predicts the body size of lowest risk for mammals
Question: Is the relationship between extinction risk and size in terrestrial mammals described by a peaked function or a monotonic function? Mathematical method: We develop a population viability analysis model where species take random walks at generational time steps. The model works like the classic gambler’s ruin problem where risky combinations of variance in growth rate, population densi...
متن کاملthe effect of traffic density on the accident externality from driving the case study of tehran
در این پژوهش به بررسی اثر افزایش ترافیک بر روی تعداد تصادفات پرداخته شده است. به این منظور 30 تقاطع در شهر تهران بطور تصادفی انتخاب گردید و تعداد تصادفات ماهیانه در این تقاطعات در طول سالهای 89-90 از سازمان کنترل ترافیک شهر تهران استخراج گردید و با استفاده از مدل داده های تابلویی و نرم افزار eviews مدل خطی و درجه دوم تخمین زده شد و در نهایت این نتیجه حاصل شد که تقاطعات پر ترافیک تر تعداد تصادفا...
15 صفحه اولSustainable management of wildlife habitat and risk of extinction
Whether land management planning provides for sufficient habitat to sustain viable populations of indigenous wildlife is one of the greatest challenges confronting resource managers. Analyses of the effects of land management on natural resources often rely on qualitative assessments that focus on single species to reflect the risk of wildlife extinction across a planning area. We propose a con...
متن کاملQuantification of habitat fragmentation reveals extinction risk in terrestrial mammals.
Although habitat fragmentation is often assumed to be a primary driver of extinction, global patterns of fragmentation and its relationship to extinction risk have not been consistently quantified for any major animal taxon. We developed high-resolution habitat fragmentation models and used phylogenetic comparative methods to quantify the effects of habitat fragmentation on the world's terrestr...
