  • Predictive Species and Habitat Modeling in Landscape Ecology

    Concepts and Applications

    Edited by C. Ashton Drew, Falk Huettmann, Yolanda F. Wiersma ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Most projects in Landscape Ecology, at some point, define a species-habitat association. These models are inherently spatial, dealing with landscapes and their configurations. Whether coding behavioral rules for dispersal of simulated organisms through simulated landscapes, or designing the sampling extent of field surveys and experiments in real landscapes, landscape ecologists must make ...

  • Ant Encounters

    Interaction Networks and Colony Behavior

    by Deborah M. Gordon ...
    Series series Primers in Complex Systems
    How do ant colonies get anything done, when no one is in charge? An ant colony operates without a central control or hierarchy, and no ant directs another. Instead, ants decide what to do based on the rate, rhythm, and pattern of individual encounters and interactions--resulting in a dynamic network that coordinates the functions of the colony. Ant Encounters provides a revealing and accessible ... Read more

  • Climate Change Biology

    by Lee Hannah ...
    Climate change biology is a new discipline, born of the recognition that human-induced climate change is resulting in wholesale shifts in the distributions of species and the timing of biological events. The evidence for biological upheaval in response to climate change is immense. Migratory species are arriving earlier in the year. Flowers are blooming earlier. Ranges of plants, mammals and ...
