Connectivity is a measure of how landscape features facilitate movement and thus is an important factor in species persistence in a fragmented landscape. The scarcity of empirical studies that directly quantify species movement and determine subsequent effects on population density have, however, limited the utility of connectivity measures in conservation planning. We undertook a 4-year study ...
Landscape heterogeneity plays an important role in disease spread and persistence, but quantifying landscape influences and their scale dependence is challenging. Studies have focused on how environmental features or global transport networks influence pathogen invasion and spread, but their influence on local transmission dynamics that underpin the persistence of endemic diseases remains unexp...
Despite the existence of long term remotely sensed datasets, change detection methods are limited and often remain an obstacle to the effective use of time series approaches in remote sensing applications to Land Change Science. This paper establishes some simple statistical tests to be applied to NDVI-derived time series of remotely sensed data products. Specifically, the methods determine the...
Conserving animals beyond protected areas is critical because even the largest reserves may be too small to maintain viable populations for many wide-ranging species. Identification of landscape features that will promote persistence of a diverse array of species is a high priority, particularly, for protected areas that reside in regions of otherwise extensive habitat loss. This is the case fo...
بارش به عنوان مهمترین عنصر اقلیمی همواره در سرزمین ایران از پیچیدگی های خاصی برخوردار بوده است. این پیچیدگی ها که بیشتر ناشی از موقعیت جغرافیایی این سرزمین پهناور بوده است باعث گردیده است که بارش از توزیع زمانی و مکانی یکنواختی برخوردار نباشد. هدفی که این تحقیق در پی دست یافتن به آن است تعیین تداوم های دو، سه و چهار روزه بارش در ایران زمین و تعیین ساختار احتمالی آن با استفاده از تعیین بهترین مر...
Landscape fragmentation can be a major threat to the persistence of species with very specific habitat and area requirements (e.g., Wilcove et al., 1986). Such a species is the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina), whose populations are experiencing fragmentation at a number of spatial scales. The analyses we discuss here focus on the geographic scale (Lord and Norton. 1990) and ar...
Nature conservation is increasingly based on a landscape approach rather than a species approach. Landscape planning that includes nature conservation goals requires integrated ecological tools. However, species differ widely in their response to landscape change. We propose a framework of ecologically scaled landscape indices that takes into account this variation. Our approach is based on a c...
Bees provide essential pollination services that are potentially affected both by local farm management and the surrounding landscape. To better understand these different factors, we modelled the relative effects of landscape composition (nesting and floral resources within foraging distances), landscape configuration (patch shape, interpatch connectivity and habitat aggregation) and farm mana...
Population demography is central to fundamental ecology and for predicting range shifts, decline of threatened species, and spread of invasive organisms. There is a mismatch between most demographic work, carried out on few populations and at local scales, and the need to predict dynamics at landscape and regional scales. Inspired by concepts from landscape ecology and Markowitz's portfolio the...
BACKGROUND The effects of landscape modifications on the long-term persistence of wild animal populations is of crucial importance to wildlife managers and conservation biologists, but obtaining experimental evidence using real landscapes is usually impossible. To circumvent this problem we used individual-based models (IBMs) of interacting animals in experimental modifications of a real Danish...
