Abstract:Seed dispersal is a pivotal ecological process but remains poorly understood on Madagascar, where lemurs are key dispersers. The black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata) possesses many behavioural and ecological attributes potentially conducive to effective seed dispersal, but no studies have investigated dispersal patterns in this species. This 3-mo study quantified aspects of the primary seed dispersal patterns generated by two Varecia variegata groups (7 individuals). Feeding and ranging behaviour was quantified using behavioural observation (345.6 h), dispersal quantity an

Abstract:
The dispersal pattern of the beaver (Castor canadensis) was studied by intensive livetrapping, tagging, and observation in Allegany State Park and its vicinity in New York from 1984 to 1996. The majority (74%) of dispersing beavers (n = 46) initiated dispersal in a downstream direction after spring ice-out. Females dispersed significantly farther away from their natal colonies than males (10.15 ± 2.42 (SE) km vs. 3.49 ± 0.86 km). Movements to neighboring sites were common (16 of 46 dispersers), indicating that beavers, especially males, may prefer to disperse to the nearest available sites. Mo

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Restoration aims to rebuild not only species but also the tangled interactions between species that ensure communities perpetuate by themselves. In tropical forests, restoration of seed dispersal interactions is essential because most plant species depend on animals to spread their seeds. A big challenge in restoring such forests is dealing with invasion by non-native species. Non-native plant species may outcompete and eliminate native species from the community, potentially disrupting or arresting the restoration process. Once established, invasive non-native plants are usually incorporated into the local seed dispersal network, potentially causing loss of biodiversity by competition with native species. This chapter reports on a case study of a 25-year old restored forest invaded by several bird-dispersed plant species. We assessed network metrics at the species level to specifically evaluate the role performed by invasive non-native species in the structure of the bird - seed dispersal network. The removal of invasive non-native plants and the re-establishment of native plant communities should be considered for the restoration of habitats invaded by non-native plants. For this reason, we discuss the impacts of removing such non-native plants and explore the consequences for the structure of the overall network. Because restoration areas are open systems, even after the removal of invasive non-native plant species they can return via seed dispersal. So, both the control and management of invasive non-native species would be more effective if planned with a landscape perspective. We also point out relevant management aspects to avoid the negative influence of invasive non-native plants on the seed dispersal interactions occurring between native plant and bird species in restored tropical forests.

Full text
Abstract:
Dispersal of benthic crustaceans primarily occurs by larvae, which can be transported far from parents. However, larval dispersal is reduced by depth regulation in a sheared water column, where surface and bottom currents flow at different rates or directions, and navigation by postlarvae recruiting to adult habitats. Larvae undertake migrations between adult and larval habitats that range from retention near adult habitats to cross-shelf migrations. The extent of these migrations is regulated by depth preferences and vertical migrations that are timed exogenously or endogenously by diel and tidal cycles over planktonic development. Depth regulation is cued primarily by gravity, hydrostatic pressure, and light, and secondarily by temperature, salinity, and turbulence. Settlement stages navigate to suitable settlement sites using hierarchies of acoustic, chemical, visual, and celestial cues that are effective at different distances. The extent of larval migrations between adult and larval habitats as well as diel vertical migrations may be set by the vulnerability of larvae to abundant planktivorous fish in estuaries and nearshore waters. The timing of larval release and vertical swimming by larvae changes across tidal regimes to conserve migrations between adult and larval habitats across species ranges while minimizing predation.

Abstract:
The distribution and dynamics of populations reflect the interplay between dispersal and demography with landscape structure. Understanding how landscape structure affects populations is essential to effective habitat management and species conservation, especially within landscapes undergoing habitat loss and fragmentation as a result of human land-use activities. This chapter thus begins with an overview of the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on populations, followed by a discussion of species distribution modeling. Then, because population assessment figures so prominently in evaluating a species’ extinction risk to landscape change, the chapter considers the different classes of population models used to estimate population growth rates and population viability, including the use of metapopulation and spatially explicit simulation models.

Configured as enemy aliens, Nikkei endured mass removal, internment, the effective nullification of their citizenship, and a coercive dispersal. Whereas the Chinese enjoyed sounder social footing as a result of their real and presumed ties to China, the United States' partner in the Pacific War against Japan. For all these disparities, however, war mobilization impacted Japanese and Chinese American lives in comparable ways. Most fundamentally for both groups, geopolitical forces opened up novel opportunities for national belonging. Encouraged by the outpouring of wartime racial liberal sentiment, Chinese Americans, especially the native-born cohorts just coming of age, asked new questions and desired new answers about life in the United States.

&lt;em&gt;Abstract&lt;/em&gt;.—The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal is a 50 km-long, man-made canal that connects the Great Lakes and Mississippi River drainages. The canal, which is important for navigation and storm and wastewater drainage, forms an aquatic pathway for nonnative aquatic species to spread between these two major Midwestern ecosystems. Construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal aquatic nuisance species dispersal barrier was authorized by the National Invasive Species Act of 1996. The barrier currently consists of a micropulsed DC electric array. A demonstration barrier began operation in April 2002 and is nearing the end of its design life; a larger, longer lasting barrier is now under construction. The demonstration barrier has been effective in repelling radio-tagged common carp &lt;em&gt;Cyprinus carpio &lt;/em&gt;and is expected to have similar effectiveness on other large fish. The new more powerful barrier will be more effective in repelling small fish. In the near term, addition of alternative technologies such as acoustic bubble arrays may augment effectiveness of the electric barrier. In the long term, separation of the Lake Michigan and Mississippi River drainages will provide the surest means of preventing the range expansion of aquatic invasive species via this pathway. Funding, authorization and existing waterway uses will continue to challenge development of a fully effective barrier system.

&lt;em&gt;Abstract&lt;/em&gt;.—The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal is a 50 km-long, man-made canal that connects the Great Lakes and Mississippi River drainages. The canal, which is important for navigation and storm and wastewater drainage, forms an aquatic pathway for nonnative aquatic species to spread between these two major Midwestern ecosystems. Construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal aquatic nuisance species dispersal barrier was authorized by the National Invasive Species Act of 1996. The barrier currently consists of a micropulsed DC electric array. A demonstration barrier began operation in April 2002 and is nearing the end of its design life; a larger, longer lasting barrier is now under construction. The demonstration barrier has been effective in repelling radio-tagged common carp &lt;em&gt;Cyprinus carpio &lt;/em&gt;and is expected to have similar effectiveness on other large fish. The new more powerful barrier will be more effective in repelling small fish. In the near term, addition of alternative technologies such as acoustic bubble arrays may augment effectiveness of the electric barrier. In the long term, separation of the Lake Michigan and Mississippi River drainages will provide the surest means of preventing the range expansion of aquatic invasive species via this pathway. Funding, authorization and existing waterway uses will continue to challenge development of a fully effective barrier system.

Abstract:
Sustainable tourism has been a focus of tourism worldwide. As the hospitality industry is a part of tourism which includes hotels and resorts and contributes a lot towards food and lodging, sustainability is a concern for the industry. Individuals have a perspective that hotelier's relationship toward environmental and societal concerns is rather secluded and intangible. Considering the size and the rapid growth of the hospitality industry, it makes it clear that environmentally sustainable action is essential. For sustainability to be effective, the best way is to engage the people from local communities. The aim is to promote socio-economic development of the tourist destination and the community considering the ecology best cared for by the locals. Tourism has to be developed in a manner so that the ecosystem is conserved with diversification of the economy leading to dispersal of ownership.

Abstract:
The common peat moss, Sphagnum, is able to explosively disperse its spores by producing a vortex ring from a pressurized sporophyte to carry a cloud of spores to heights over 15 cm where the turbulent boundary layer can lift and carry them indefinitely. While vortex ring production is fairly common in the animal kingdom (e.g. squid, jellyfish, and the human heart), this is the first report of vortex rings generated by a plant. In other cases of biologically created vortex rings, it has been observed that vortices are produced with a maximum formation number of L/D = 4, where L is the length of

Abstract The flow field associated with a liquid jet injected transversely into a crossflow, also referred as transverse jet has numerous applications in industrial, environmental and natural systems. Examples of these applications include air-breathing engines (gas turbine afterburners, ramjet and scramjet combustors), rocket engines, environmental control systems and natural flows. Earliest research of a jet in a crossflow has been motivated by applications related to environmental problems such as plume dispersal from exhaust or pipe stacks or liquid effluent dispersal in streams.

Abstract:
Accurate ballscrews are vital components of precise machine tool drive systems. As determined by direct measurement systems, the ballscrew positioning error has no bearing on the final positioning accuracy of the axis. For economical reasons, however, most machine tools are equipped with indirect measurement systems, in which errors stemming from thermal expansion of the ballscrew constitute approximately 60% of the kinematic chain error sum. Moreover, the currently observed boost in productivity of modern CNC machine tools leads to significant amplification of energy dispersal values in the n

Conflicts between humans and birds likely have existed since agricultural practices began. Paintings from ancient Greek, Egyptian, and Roman civilizations depict birds attacking crops. In Great Britain, recording of efforts at reducing bird damage began in the 1400s, with books on bird control written in the 1600s. Even so, the problem persists. Avian damage to crops remains an issue today, but we also are concerned with damage to homes, businesses, and aircraft, and the possibility of disease transmission from birds to humans or livestock.
