Abstract Landscape connectivity has traditionally been studied for animal species rather than plants, especially under a multispecies approach. However, can be equally critical both fauna and flora and, thus, an essential point in the selection of key management areas measures. This paper explores spatially explicit framework to assess contribution habitat patches conservation enhancement plant...

Knowledge about the connectivity among natural populations is essential to identify management units for effective conservation actions. Conservation-minded has led recovery of large carnivore in northern Europe, possibly restoring between two separated, but expanding brown bear (Ursus arctos) on Scandinavian peninsula west and Karelia, a part Eurasian population, east. The degree these been po...

Habitat restoration is a key measure to counteract negative impacts on biodiversity from habitat loss and fragmentation. To assess success in restoring not only biodiversity, but also functionality of communities, we should take into account the re-assembly of species trait composition across taxa. Attaining such functional restoration would depend on the landscape context, vegetation structure...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) due to their inherent features are vulnerable to single or multiple sensor node failure. Node’s failure can result in partitioning of the networks resulting in loss of inter-node connectivity and eventually compromising the operation of the sensor network. The recovery from partitioning of network is crucial for inter-node connectivity. In literature, a number of...

This paper presents the survivability issues relevant to ATM group communications and outlines the tradeo s between restoration techniques that can be extended from circuit-switched communications. Current models proposed by the ATM Forum for group communications (VC Mesh and Multicast Server) are compared and restoration techniques for all possible single fault scenarios are examined. It is co...

Abstract Node failures are inevitable in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) because nodes WSNs miniature and equipped with small often irreplaceable batteries. Due to battery drainage, can fail at any instance. Moreover, operate hostile environments environmental factors may also contribute failure. Failure of leads disruption inter-node connectivity might lead network partitioning. communicate ea...
