A Synergistic Effect Puts Rare, Specialized Species at Greater Risk of Extinction
Theory and empirical evidence have long suggested that some species are extremely vulnerable to extinction because they have combinations of extinction promoting traits. However, ecologists have not considered whether the form of the relationship between traits is additive (not synergistic) or nonadditive (synergistic). We looked at how traits and their interactions were related to the differen...
متن کاملSpecies at Risk, Conservation Strategies, and Ecological Integrity
Species at risk are relatively easy to identify. Saving them is another matter. There are few success stories. With increased human populations, and consequent demands for more space and more resources, there will be an ever increasing number of species at risk. Our current conservation strategies are largely ad hoc, unintegrated, and ineffective. They must be replaced with new strategies focus...
متن کاملDefending Puts the Anterior Cruciate Ligament at Risk During Soccer
BACKGROUND Soccer athletes are at risk for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. To date, there are limited studies on the mechanisms of ACL injuries in soccer athletes and no video-based analysis or sex-based comparison of these mechanisms. HYPOTHESIS There is no difference in ACL injury mechanisms among soccer athletes by sex. STUDY DESIGN Case series. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4. ME...
متن کاملSensitivity analyses of spatial population viability analysis models for species at risk and habitat conservation planning.
Population viability analysis (PVA) is an effective framework for modeling species- and habitat-recovery efforts, but uncertainty in parameter estimates and model structure can lead to unreliable predictions. Integrating complex and often uncertain information into spatial PVA models requires that comprehensive sensitivity analyses be applied to explore the influence of spatial and nonspatial p...
متن کاملWhen the population approach to prevention puts the health of individuals at risk.
The population approach to prevention has been described as one of the "absolute truths" of preventive medicine. However, when the relationship between risk factor exposure levels and associated risk is J-shaped the population approach can increase risk in a small number of individuals. There is evidence that the relationship between a variety of exposures and all-cause morbidity and mortality ...
