This research examines the relationship between pedestrian accident locations on state-owned facilities (highways and urban arterials) and the presence of riders loading and alighting from bus transit. Many state facilities are important metropolitan transit corridors with large numbers of bus stops users, resulting in increased exposure of pedestrians to traffic and in increased numbers of col...

Executive Summary The San Martín titi monkey (Callicebus oenanthe) is a critically endangered primate of north central Peru. As an endemic, C. oenanthe's small geographic range, coupled with some of the highest deforestation rates in South America, highlights its inherent vulnerability. Between 2000 and 2011 alone, San Martín experienced the highest gross forest cover loss of any other departme...

Against the backdrop of rapid urbanization, there is a passive adaptation state shown in urban and rural ecological spaces. Due to shrinking patches fracture corridors, problems such as obstruction processes, decline ecosystem services, loss biodiversity occur. Considering that county space key level undertake provincial security patterns implement demonstration projects, construction infrastru...

Introduction The maintenance of habitat connections between fragmented patches is vital for the conservation wildlife populations and ecosystem functioning. awareness connectivity issues species has resulted in a growth modeling application these results planning. Such efforts can include several decisions or data limitations, which could influence ultimately systematic plan (SCP). However, the...

An urban green space network provides safe and exercise routes for residents. This study selected Nanchang as the area. Using fitness application data, we explored mobility of people exercising in network, i.e., flow exercise. Spatial analysis based on social networks, GIS, gravity model was used to analyze nodes, characteristics, mechanism The results show that there were differences hierarchy...

Some believe orthodontics has undergone a “paradigm shift” to focus more on esthetics, with emphasis on the soft tissues surrounding the mouth. This web based study evaluated changes in attractiveness based on computerized variations of smile arcs and buccal corridors for male and female smiles judged by orthodontists and laypersons on a visual analog scale. The results indicate that both laype...

Corridors are a popular strategy to conserve biodiversity and promote gene flow in fragmented landscapes. Corridor effectiveness has been bolstered by the fact that no empirical field studies have shown negative effects on populations or communities. I tested the hypothesis that corridors increase nest predation in connected habitat fragments relative to unconnected fragments. I evaluated this ...

Connectivity is a landscape property that promotes gene flow between organisms located in different patches of habitat and provides way to reduce loss by maintaining flux through the landscape; it an important factor for conservation decisions. In this study, we evaluated structural functional connectivity among 510 oak forest remnants basin central Mexico modeling potential distribution seven ...

Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered some the main threats to biodiversity. Original forests have suffered an accentuated agricultural homogenization, leaving only areas of natural vegetation, relegated strongly anthropized disconnected patches (island forests, IFs) in a hostile matrix. These original vegetation could be key for design management ecological corridors promote species mi...
