Infrastructure features outperform environmental variables explaining rabbit abundance around motorways
Human disturbance is widespread across landscapes in the form of roads that alter wildlife populations. Knowing which road features are responsible for the species response and their relevance in comparison with environmental variables will provide useful information for effective conservation measures. We sampled relative abundance of European rabbits, a very widespread species, in motorway ve...
متن کاملHydrological and environmental variables outperform spatial factors in structuring species, trait composition, and beta diversity of pelagic algae
There has been increasing interest in algae-based bioassessment, particularly, trait-based approaches are increasingly suggested. However, the main drivers, especially the contribution of hydrological variables, of species composition, trait composition, and beta diversity of algae communities are less studied. To link species and trait composition to multiple factors (i.e., hydrological variab...
متن کاملThe Contribution of environmental variables on small mammal species richness and relative abundance in Eastern Nevada
The purpose of this study is to determine how four environmental variables: elevation, latitude, soil type, and vegetation impact the relative abundance of Peromyscus maniculatus and the species richness of small mammal populations in Eastern Nevada. In order to complete this study, a survey of small mammals was completed in the following 8 Eastern Nevada valleys: Delamar, Dry Lake, Dry LakeMul...
متن کاملExplaining the abundance of ants in lowland tropical rainforest canopies.
The extraordinary abundance of ants in tropical rainforest canopies has led to speculation that numerous arboreal ant taxa feed principally as "herbivores" of plant and insect exudates. Based on nitrogen (N) isotope ratios of plants, known herbivores, arthropod predators, and ants from Amazonia and Borneo, we find that many arboreal ant species obtain little N through predation and scavenging. ...
متن کاملCollective Traffic Control on Motorways
The following essay aims at the description of direct and indirect control mechanisms within the scope of real-time collective traffic control measures. A general system archtitecture of traffic control systems on motorways is presented, including the traffic data detection infrastructure, outstations to preprocess the detected impulses and to control the variable message signs (VMS), subcenter...
