Detection probabilities for sessile organisms
Estimation of population sizes and species ranges is central to population and conservation biology. It is widely appreciated that imperfect detection of mobile animals must be accounted for when estimating population size from presence–absence data. Sessile organisms also are imperfectly detected, but correction for detection probability in estimating their population sizes is rare. We illustr...
متن کاملLotka-Volterra competition models for sessile organisms.
Markov models are widely used to describe the dynamics of communities of sessile organisms, because they are easily fitted to field data and provide a rich set of analytical tools. In typical ecological applications, at any point in time, each point in space is in one of a finite set of states (e.g., species, empty space). The models aim to describe the probabilities of transitions between stat...
متن کاملThoughts on Pharmaceutical Research Coordination
Futurologists continue to tell us (Naisbit 1982, Diebold 1984, Porter 1985, Skinner 1985, Toffler 1990) that we are entering an information age, in which intellectual property and the ability to translate it into flexible productive systems will be the principal competitive advantage available to corporations. Exploiting information systems for this purpose in the pharmaceutical industry is a d...
متن کاملFurther thoughts on research funding.
This commentary expands on concepts on research funding within emergency medicine as developed in Part I of the Future of Emergency Medicine Research Conference proceedings. Specifically, this article focuses on strategies to enhance the support of research emergency medicine and development of the research infrastructure in the specialty.
متن کاملCombining Traits and Density to Model Recruitment of Sessile Organisms
We propose an integrative approach that explains patterns of recruitment to adult populations in sessile organisms by considering the numbers of individuals and their body size. A recruitment model, based on a small number of parameters, was developed for sessile organisms and tested using the barnacle Semibalanus balanoides, a marine invertebrate inhabiting North Atlantic intertidal shores. In...
