Why do pollinators visit proportionally fewer flowers in large patches?
Pollinators collect resources that are patchy, since flowers are usually aggregated on several spatial scales. Empirical studies have established that pollinators almost invariably visit a smaller proportion of flowers as patch size increases. This has not been adequately explained. Here I present data on the payoff curve achieved by bumblebees, Bombus lapidarius, when visiting patches containi...
متن کاملConservation Ecology: Invasion of Matrix Species in Small Habitat Patches
The diversity, expressed as species richness in equal-sized samples, of wood-living beetles in successional stages of deciduous forest after forest fires approximately 100 years ago did not differ between patch sizes in this study. Thus, the crucial question for conservation is whether the lack of reduction in diversity in small patches means that a number of small patches can elevate the regio...
متن کاملTransdermal fentanyl patches in small animals.
Fentanyl citrate is a potent opioid that can be delivered by the transdermal route in cats and dogs. Publications regarding transdermal fentanyl patches were obtained and systematically reviewed. Seven studies in cats and seven studies in dogs met the criteria for inclusion in this review. Dogs achieved effective plasma concentrations approximately 24 hours after patch application. Cats achieve...
متن کاملAn Analysis on Natural Image Small Patches
The method of computational homology is used to analyze natural image 8 × 8 and 9 × 9-patches locally. Our experimental results show that there exist subspaces of the spaces of 8× 8 and 9× 9-patches that are topologically equivalent to a circle and a Klein bottle respectively. These extend the results of the paper ”on the local behavior of spaces of natural images.” To the larger patches. The K...
متن کاملTrimpi perturbations from large ionisation enhancement patches
A number of increasingly sophisticated and realistic models have been developed in order to investigate the interaction between sub-ionospherically propagating VLF waves and regions of ionisation enhancement (LIE) in the D-region caused by lightning-induced electron precipitation enhancements (LEP). This LEP-produced LIE can result in phase and amplitude perturbations on received VLF radio sign...
