Modelling the flying bird / C. J. Pennycuick (2008)  

Public ISBD Titre : Modelling the flying bird Type de document : livre Auteurs : C. J. Pennycuick, Auteur Editeur : Amsterdam : Academic Année de publication : 2008 Collection : Theoretical ecology series Importance : 480 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-12-374299-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Birds  Computer simulation  Flight Résumé : This book outlines the principles of flight, of birds in particular. It describes a way of simplifying the mechanics of flight into a practical computer program, which will predict in some detail what any bird, real or hypothetical, can and cannot do. The Flight program, presented on the companion website, generates performance curves for flapping and gliding flight, and simulations of long-distance migration and accounts successfully for the consumption of muscles and other tissues during migratory flights. The program is effectively a working model of a flying bird (or bat or pterosaur) and is the skeleton around which the book is built. The book provides a wider background and then explains how Flight works and shows how to set up and test hypotheses generated by the program. The book and the program are based on adapting the conventional (and well-tested) thinking of aeronautical engineers to the biological problems of bird flight. Their primary aim is to convince biologists that this is the appropriate way to handle problems that involve flight, to make the engineering background accessible to biologists, and to provide a tool kit in the shape of the Flight program, which they can use to solve practical problems involving bird flight and migration. In addition, the book will be readily accessible to engineers who want to know how birds work, and should be of interest to the ever-growing community working on flapping "micro air vehicles" (MAVs). The program can be used to predict the flight performance and capabilities of reconstructed fossil birds and pterosaurs, flying in ancient atmospheres that differ from present conditions, and also, of course, to predict and account for the results of experiments and observations on living birds and bats.

Hierarchical modeling and inference in ecology: the analysis of data from populations, metapopulations and communities / Royle, J.Andrew (2008)

Public ISBD Titre : Hierarchical modeling and inference in ecology: the analysis of data from populations, metapopulations and communities Type de document : livre Auteurs : Royle, J.Andrew, Auteur ; Dorazio, Robert M., Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Amsterdam : Academic Press; Elsevier Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 444 p. + fig. coul. h.t. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-12-374097-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Computer simulation  Mathematical models  Spatial ecology Résumé : A guide to data collection, modeling and inference strategies for biological survey data using Bayesian and classical statistical methods. This book describes a general and flexible framework for modeling and inference in ecological systems based on hierarchical models, with a strict focus on the use of probability models and parametric inference. Hierarchical models represent a paradigm shift in the application of statistics to ecological inference problems because they combine explicit models of ecological system structure or dynamics with models of how ecological systems are observed. The principles of hierarchical modeling are developed and applied to problems in population, metapopulation, community, and metacommunity systems. The book provides the first synthetic treatment of many recent methodological advances in ecological modeling and unifies disparate methods and procedures. The authors apply principles of hierarchical modeling to ecological problems, including * occurrence or occupancy models for estimating species distribution * abundance models based on many sampling protocols, including distance sampling * capture-recapture models with individual effects * spatial capture-recapture models based on camera trapping and related methods * population and metapopulation dynamic models * models of biodiversity, community structure and dynamics * Wide variety of examples involving many taxa (birds, amphibians, mammals, insects, plants) * Development of classical, likelihood-based procedures for inference, as well as Bayesian methods of analysis * Detailed explanations describing the implementation of hierarchical models using freely available software such as R and WinBUGS * Computing support in technical appendices in an online companion web site Hierarchical modeling and inference in ecology: the analysis of data from populations, metapopulations and communities [livre] / Royle, J.Andrew, Auteur ; Dorazio, Robert M., Auteur  . -  1st ed. . - Amsterdam : Academic Press; Elsevier, 2008 . - 444 p. + fig. coul. h.t.
