SEARCH: Spatially Explicit Animal Response to Composition of Habitat
Complex decisions dramatically affect animal dispersal and space use. Dispersing individuals respond to a combination of fine-scale environmental stimuli and internal attributes. Individual-based modeling offers a valuable approach for the investigation of such interactions because it combines the heterogeneity of animal behaviors with spatial detail. Most individual-based models (IBMs), howeve...
متن کاملExtinction in multispecies and spatially explicit models of habitat destruction.
proceeds, some species may be driven to extinction only Loss of habitat due to human activities is a major threat to reestablish in the community following more extensive to biological diversity (Ehrlich and Ehrlich 1981; Wilson habitat destruction that drives more competitive species 1988). Recent models of competition among sessile orto extinction. Thus, the models of Tilman et al. (1994, gan...
متن کاملSpatially Explicit Population Models
During the last decade, ecologists and particularly mathematical ecologists have focused on different approaches to the problem of spatial distribution of species. When the spatial distribution is not considered explicitly, the mathematical models are called spatially implicit. They consider the proportion of territory occupied by given species, but there is no information on which particular s...
متن کاملA spatially explicit decision support model for restoration of forest bird habitat.
The historical area of bottomland hardwood forest in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley has been reduced by >75%. Agricultural production was the primary motivator for deforestation; hence, clearing deliberately targeted higher and drier sites. Remaining forests are highly fragmented and hydrologically altered, with larger forest fragments subject to greater inundation, which has negatively affect...
متن کاملAnimal Suffering: A Moorean Response to a Problem of Evil
In this paper, I propose a new response to a particular instance of the problem of evil: the problem of animal suffering. My solution, in brief, is that the rational theist may argue, justifiably, that an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent God would not allow gratuitous animal suffering to occur, and, therefore, all instances of animal suffering that are encountered are not instanc...
