Modelling animal populations in changing landscapes
Models of Mobile Animal Populations (MAP models) simulate long-term land use changes, population trends and patterns of biological diversity on landscapcs of lo3-lo5 ha. MAP models can incorporate information about past land-use pattcrns and management practices and can project future pattcrns based on management plans. We illustrate this approach with an cxamplc of how implerncntation of a US....
متن کاملAdaptive walks on changing landscapes: Levins' approach extended.
The assumption that trade-offs exist is fundamental in evolutionary theory. Levins (Am. Nat. 96 (1962) 361-372) introduced a widely adopted graphical method for analyzing evolution towards an optimal combination of two quantitative traits, which are traded off. His approach explicitly excluded the possibility of density- and frequency-dependent selection. Here we extend Levins method towards mo...
متن کاملEver-Changing Landscapes: Transcriptional Enhancers in Development and Evolution
A class of cis-regulatory elements, called enhancers, play a central role in orchestrating spatiotemporally precise gene-expression programs during development. Consequently, divergence in enhancer sequence and activity is thought to be an important mediator of inter- and intra-species phenotypic variation. Here, we give an overview of emerging principles of enhancer function, current models of...
متن کاملSeed mobility and connectivity in changing rural landscapes
The success or failure of many organisms to respond to the challenges of habitat destruction and a warming climate lies in the ability of plant species to disperse between isolated habitats or to migrate to new ranges. European semi-natural grasslands represent one of the world’s most species-rich habitats at small scales, but agricultural intensification during the 20th century has meant that ...
متن کاملChanging landscapes stimulate new directions for the AJRA
As was announced in the last issue, Raj Sindwani, M.D., is now a coeditor-in-chief along with Rick Chandra, M.D. of the American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy (AJRA). On the heels of this leadership change, we wanted to take a moment to reflect upon the changing landscape of the fields of rhinology and allergy, and to explore the current trajectory and scope of the AJRA. The disciplines in m...
