A knowledge base for Exploited Marine Ecosystems
In 2008, IRD started to work on setting up a knowledge base (named Ecoscope) about Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries domain (EAF) in the context of a marine ecology laboratory studying Exploited Marine Ecosystems in different regions of the world. This application was meant to fit the needs of researchers by improving knowledge and related information resources management [14,12]. Among other goa...
متن کاملDynamic Complexity in Exploited Marine Ecosystems
Marine ecosystems are increasingly recognized as exhibiting the principal hallmarks of complex systems, including the possibility of sudden shifts in state among alternative basins of attraction and both periodic and aperiodic dynamical behavior. Over the last several decades a well-defined theory of complexity has emerged, integrating earlier (and inter-related) concepts based on bifurcation t...
متن کاملWildlife disease ecology in changing landscapes: Mesopredator release and toxoplasmosis
Changing ecosystem dynamics are increasing the threat of disease epidemics arising in wildlife populations. Several recent disease outbreaks have highlighted the critical need for understanding pathogen dynamics, including the role host densities play in disease transmission. In Australia, introduced feral cats are of immense concern because of the risk they pose to native wildlife through pred...
متن کاملTaylor's law and body size in exploited marine ecosystems
Taylor's law (TL), which states that variance in population density is related to mean density via a power law, and density-mass allometry, which states that mean density is related to body mass via a power law, are two of the most widely observed patterns in ecology. Combining these two laws predicts that the variance in density is related to body mass via a power law (variance-mass allometry)...
متن کاملEcology of elk parturition across winter feeding opportunities in the brucellosis endemic area of Wyoming
This study was initiated to examine parturition related behavior both from an ecological perspective and to investigate implications for brucellosis transmission risk among elk and between elk and cattle. These aspects were investigated for elk fed during the winter, elk using improved winter feedlines, and free-ranging elk. Brucellosis is a disease causing abortion in elk (Cervus elaphus nelso...
