Скачать книгу - Dynamics of Large Herbivore Populations in Changing Environments. Towards Appropriate Models
This book aims to reconcile theoretical models of population dynamics with what is currently known about the population dynamics of large mammalian herbivores. It arose from a working group established at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis at the University of California, Santa Barbara, to address the need for models that better accommodate environmental variability, especially for herbivores dependent on changing vegetation resources. The initial chapter reviews findings from definitive long-term studies of certain other ungulate populations, many based on individually identifiable animals. Other chapters cover climatic influences, emphasising temperate versus tropical contrasts, and demographic processes underlying population dynamics, more generally. There are new assessments of irruptive population dynamics, and of the consequences of landscape heterogeneity for herbivore populations. An initial review of candidate population models is followed up by a final chapter outlining how these models might be modified to better accommodate environmental variability. The contents provide a foundation for resolving problems of diminishing large mammal populations in Africa, over-abundant ungulate populations elsewhere, and general consequences of global change for biodiversity conservation. This book will serve as a definitive outline of what is currently known about the population dynamics of large herbivores.

Ideas changing the World. Logical gaming devices combined with a ball-pen Ideas changing the World. Logical gaming devices combined with a ball-pen

Автор: Valeriy Zhiglov

Год издания: 

Games become more popular than cinema, it is a trend worldwide. The annual turnover in gaming industry already exceeded 15 billion dollars, and it still grows every year. The author proposed several types of logical gaming devices, including the type combinable with a ball-pen. As preliminarily estimated, such gaming devices might be used with 10—25% of ball-pens produced worldwide, and they might be demanded for both on national and international markets.

16.–17. martsil 2012 toimus Eesti Rahvusraamatukogus rahvusvaheline ja interdistsiplinaarne konverents, mille pealkirjaks ja teemaks oli „Vaikerahvaste keelte riskid ja voimalused“. Urituse patrooniks oli Riigikogu esimees pr Ene Ergma, president Toomas Hendrik Ilves saatis kirjaliku lakituse konverentsi ja sellel osalejate tervituseks.Konverentsil osales kokku 20 teadlast 9 erinevast riigist: Eestile lisaks Groonimaalt (Taani), Walesist (Uhendkuningriik), Prantsusmaalt, Itaaliast, Ungarist, Latist, Soomest ja Venemaalt. Ettekanded tegelesid osalt vaikerahvaste keelte ellujaamisstrateegiatega, osalt aga keele ja kultuuri erinevate ilmnemisvormide ning nende omavaheliste seoste dunaamikaga, millest pika peale keelte jatkusuutlikkus paljuski oleneb.
