Spatial Distribution and the Animal Landscape
P and harmony reign in Roelandt Savery’s The Garden of Eden, on this month’s cover of Emerging Infectious Diseases. Animals sprawled across the expansive landscape move languidly, unaware of any danger to them from each other or their surroundings, their graceful contours and anatomic details of greater interest to the artist than their natural temperament. The pastoral scene lends itself to th...
متن کاملEstimating landscape carrying capacity through maximum clique analysis.
Habitat suitability (HS) maps are widely used tools in wildlife science and establish a link between wildlife populations and landscape pattern. Although HS maps spatially depict the distribution of optimal resources for a species, they do not reveal the population size a landscape is capable of supporting--information that is often crucial for decision makers and managers. We used a new approa...
متن کاملLandscape Evaluation and Carrying Capacity Calculation on the Mogi-Guaçu and Pardo Watershed
The lack of quantitative data of landscape use can affect in a negative form the elaboration of public policy related to land occupation for agricultural or urban purposes. Some tools can be used for this purpose, but only emergy approach is able to account all energy inputs (from nature and economy). In this sense, the Landscape Development Intensity Index (LDI) that uses emergy synthesis as b...
متن کاملPhysiology on a landscape scale: plant-animal interactions.
We explore in this paper how animals can be affected by variation in climate, topography, vegetation characteristics, and body size. We utilize new spatially explicit state-of-the-art models that incorporate principles from heat and mass transfer engineering, physiology, morphology, and behavior that have been modified to provide spatially explicit hypotheses using GIS. We demonstrate how tempo...
متن کاملdynamic load carrying capacity of spatial cable suspended robot: sliding mode control approach
this paper proposes a control strategy for a cable-suspended robot based on sliding mode approach (smc) which is faced to external disturbances and parametric uncertainties. this control algorithm is based on lyapunov technique which is able to provide the stability of the end-effecter during tracking a desired path with an acceptable precision. the main contribution of the paper is to calculat...
