Titre : Plant strategies: the demographic consequences of functional traits in changing environments Type de document : livre Auteurs : Daniel C. Laughlin, Auteur Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2023 Importance : 431 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-286794-0 Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780192867940.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Plant ecology Adaptation Demography Biological traits Evolution Population ecology Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Plants have evolved a remarkable array of adaptive solutions to the existential problem of survival and reproduction in a world where disturbances can be deadly, resources are scarce, and competition is cutthroat. Plants have inherited phenotypic traits that increased their chance of success, and these traits are indicators of strategies for establishment and survival. A plant strategy can be thought of as “how a species sustains a population” (Westoby, 1998, p. 214) because all successful strategies must have positive demographic outcomes in the habitats to which they are adapted. This book aims to articulate a coherent framework for studying plant strategies that unifies demography with functional ecology to advance prediction in plant ecology. Central to this framework are functional traits: the heritable morphological, physiological, and phenological attributes of plants that influence demography and therefore drive fitness differences among species.

ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-884362-7 Prix : 37.99 GBP Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780198843610.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Wildlife management Ecophysiology Nature conservation Biodiversity Case study Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : "Conservation physiology is a rapidly expanding, multidisciplinary field that utilizes physiological knowledge and tools to understand and solve conservation challenges. This novel text provides the first consolidated overview of its scope, purpose, and applications, with a focus on wildlife. It outlines the major avenues and advances by which conservation physiology is contributing to the monitoring, management, and restoration of wild animal populations. This book also defines opportunities for further growth in the field and identifies critical areas for future investigation. By using a series of global case studies, contributors illustrate how approaches from the conservation physiology toolbox can tackle a diverse range of conservation issues including the monitoring of environmental stress, predicting the impact of climate change, understanding disease dynamics, improving captive breeding, and reducing human-wildlife conflict. Moreover, by acting as practical road maps across a diversity of sub-disciplines, these case studies serve to increase the accessibility of this discipline to new researchers. The diversity of taxa, biological scales, and ecosystems highlighted illustrate the far-reaching nature of the discipline and allow readers to gain an appreciation for the purpose, value, applicability, and status of the field of conservation physiology."

Piel, Auteur Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2021 Importance : 297 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-885025-0 Prix : 37.99 GBP Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780198850243.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Nature conservation Technology Data collection Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : "The global loss of biodiversity is occurring at an unprecedented pace. Despite the considerable effort devoted to conservation science and management, we still lack the basic data on the distribution and density of most animal and plant species, which in turn hampers our efforts to study changes over time. In addition, we often lack behavioural data from the very animals most influenced by environmental changes; this is largely due to the financial and logistical limitations associated with gathering scientific data on animals that are either widely distributed, cryptic, or negatively influenced by human presence.
To overcome these limitations, conservationists are increasingly integrating/employing/incorporating technology to facilitate such data collection. The use of camera traps, acoustic sensors, satellite data, drones, and sophisticated computer algorithms to analyse the large datasets collected are becoming increasingly common. Although there are several specialist books on some of these technologies, there is currently no overarching volume that describes the available technology for conservation and evaluates its varied applications. This edited volume will fill this void, bringing together a team of international experts using a diverse range of approaches."Note de contenu : Companion website at : https://global.oup.com/booksites/content/9780198850243/ En ligne : https://global.oup.com/academic/product/conservation-technology-9780198850243?cc [...] Conservation technology [livre] / Serge A.

ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-883860-9 Prix : 80.00 GBP Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780198838609.001.0001; Companion website : https://global.oup.com/booksites/content/9780198838609/ Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Population dynamics Ecology Data management Models Survey methods R (Computer program language) Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : Demography is everywhere in our lives: from birth to death. Indeed, the universal currencies of survival, development, reproduction, and recruitment shape the performance of all species, from microbes to humans. The number of techniques for demographic data acquisition and analyses across the entire tree of life (microbes, fungi, plants, and animals) has drastically increased in recent decades. These developments have been partially facilitated by the advent of technologies such as GIS and drones, as well as analytical methods including Bayesian statistics and high-throughput molecular analyses. However, despite the universality of demography and the significant research potential that could emerge from unifying: (i) questions across taxa, (ii) data collection protocols, and (iii) analytical tools, demographic methods to date have remained taxonomically siloed and methodologically disintegrated. This is the first book to attempt a truly unified approach to demography and population ecology in order to address a wide range of questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology across the entire spectrum of life.
This novel book provides the reader with the fundamentals of data collection, model construction, analyses, and interpretation across a wide repertoire of demographic techniques and protocols. It introduces the novice demographer to a broad range of demographic methods, including abundance-based models, life tables, matrix population models, integral projection models, integrated population models, individual based models, and more. Through the careful integration of data collection methods, analytical approaches, and applications, clearly guided throughout with fully reproducible R scripts, the book provides an up-to-date and authoritative overview of the most popular and effective demographic tools.En ligne : https://global.oup.com/academic/product/demographic-methods-across-the-tree-of-l [...] Demographic methods across the tree of life [livre] / Roberto Salguero-Gómez, Éditeur scientifique ; Marlène Gamelon, Éditeur scientifique . - New York : Oxford University Press, NY, 2021 . - 371 p.

Titre : How social science got better: overcoming bias with more evidence, diversity, and self-reflection Type de document : livre Auteurs : Matthew Grossmann, Auteur Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2021 Importance : 316 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-751897-7 Prix : 29.95 USD Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780197518977.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social sciences Methodology Open science Histoire Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Social science research is facing mounting criticism, as canonical studies fail to replicate, questionable research practices abound, and researcher social and political biases come under fire. Far from crisis, however, social science is undergoing an unparalleled renaissance of ever-broader and deeper understanding and application-made possible by close attention to criticism of our biases and open public engagement. Wars between scientists and their humanist critics, methodological disputes over statistical practice and qualitative research, and disciplinary battles over grand theories of human nature have all quietly died down as new generations of scholars have integrated the insights of multiple sides. Rather than deny that researcher biases affect results, scholars now closely analyze how our racial, gender, geographic, methodological, political, and ideological differences impact our research questions, how the incentives of academia influence our research practices, and how universal human desires to avoid uncomfortable truths and easily solve problems affect our conclusions. To be sure, misaligned incentive structures remain, but a messy, collective deliberation across the research community is boosting self-knowledge and improving practice. Ours is an unprecedented age of theoretical diversity, open and connected data, and public scholarship. How Social Science Got Better documents and explains recent transformations, crediting both internal and public critics for strengthening social science. Applying insights from the philosophy, history, and sociology of science and providing new data on trends in social science research and scholarly views, it demonstrates that social science has never been more relevant, rigorous, or self-reflective.
