Monitoring land cover changes in protected areas is crucial to control the conservation efficiency of biodiversity and natural ecosystem conditions, especially Ecuador, one most megadiverse countries world. Therefore, purpose present study has been estimate spatiotemporal landscape level fragmentation using remote sensing Llanganates National Park (PNL), a area central Andean Ecuador. To obtain...

Regimes of protection for biodiversity throughout the agricultural landscape are needed to support the agriculture sector in general and farmers in particular. There are many opportunities to establish protective regimes that will contribute to the agriculture sector through “protect-and-connect” policies and practices. These can also contribute to the biodiversity value of natural protected ar...

The strength and prevalence of trophic cascades, defined as positive, indirect effects of natural enemies (predatory and parasitic arthropods) on plants, is highly variable in agroecosystems. This variation may in part be due to the spatial or landscape context in which hese trophic cascades occur. In 2011 and 2012, we conducted a natural enemy exclusion experiment in soybean fields along a gra...

We conduct a survey of security analysis in Federated Identity Management (FIM). We use the Malicious and Accidental Fault Tolerance framework (MAFTIA) to categorise security incidents in FIM. When security incidents are categorised using MAFTIA we can paint a picture of the landscape of problems that have been studied in FIM. We state common failure paths of FIM systems and how FIM systems can...
