In this paper, we present SAGAscape, an agent-based model of resource exploitation and subsistence strategies to explore the human impact hilltop settlements on natural environment in study area Sagalassos (southwest Turkey) during Iron Age Hellenistic period. Using realistic GIS data empirical settlement patterns as input, simulate communities with for three main resources: food, wood clay. Th...

Individuals do not have complete information about the environment and therefore they face a trade-off between gathering information (exploration) and gathering resources (exploitation). Studies have shown individual differences in components of this trade-off but how stable these strategies are in a population and the intrinsic drivers of these differences is not well understood. Top marine pr...

Spatial and temporal trends and variation in life-history traits, including age and length at maturation, can be influenced by environmental and anthropogenic processes, including size-selective exploitation. Spawning adults in many wild Alaskan sockeye salmon populations have become shorter at a given age over the past half-century, but their age composition has not changed. These fish have be...

Rangelands renewable resources play a very important role in ecosystem regulating, preserving plant genetic reservoirs, water cycle as well as providing large parts of forage requirements.
