Conservation Strategy Mapping: Terrestrial Orchids

•

2 likes•845 views

In light of the lack of precise habitat definitions for many terrestrial orchid species, it was the overall aim of this study to gain a more accurate and quantitative understanding of the factors that determine orchid occurrence and to demonstrate how these data could be used to inform orchid conservation. We have developed a novel approach to ecological research and conservation strategy development that, if adopted, could facilitate empirically-based conservation projects that are more easily and effectively implemented by non-specialist conservation practitioners at a local level. Our approach integrates two techniques that are increasingly being used in ecological research and conservation biology and which have great potential to facilitate targeted and applicable studies of this type. The first is GIS, which has recently emerged as a powerful tool for studying landscape ecology and for developing conservation strategy at a landscape level. The second is the data analysis technique of Classification and Regression Tree Analysis (CART). Our method integrates the power of GIS and CART analysis to characterise the determinants of orchid dispersion and the combination of these factors that represent ‘good’ or potential habitat for the species.

Design of the Study -
AIM – To determine the habitat determinants of orchid dispersion.
 If you look up pyramidal orchid habitat in a book
it says –
“…dry, well drained grassland on chalk,
limestone or other calcium rich soils…”
 There are places where this is accurate and
others where it is not.
SO…If you want to conserve them how do you
know what to do?

To ascertain the susceptibility of alder trees in the United States to Phytophthora alni, a recently hybridized soil- and waterborne pathogen affecting alder trees in Europe, we used: 1) Field data, 2) A classification tree, and 3) A multi-criteria GIS model. GPS field data depicting both infested and healthy/non-infested alder tree locations were collected in Bavaria, Germany. Numerical values were extracted from independent variable raster datasets including soils, slope, aspect, and the landform index and used in a classification tree. Rules from the classification tree were applied in a multi-criteria GIS model to depict the susceptibility of alder trees in the United States with respect to P. alni.

Red data book by tayyaba shakeel

TayyabaShakeelKhan

The Red Data Book is a document established in Russia in the 1960s to document rare and endangered species of animals, plants, and fungi found within Russia and its continental shelf. It was based on surveys conducted between 1961 and 1964. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) published its first Red List in 1964, which provides a comprehensive inventory of species' global conservation status and shows that the number of species considered at risk of extinction has increased significantly over time, with over 28,000 now at risk primarily due to human activities like overfishing, overhunting, and land development.

Farm experiment was conducted in summer of 2007 at the bank of the upper Zab river in Deraluk sub-district (43º.64'.48'' E) and (37º.85'.31'' N), Duhok province, Iraq. Ten varieties of maize were used to study the impact of K fertilization on growth, forage and grain yield of different maize genotypes and to make comparison among the given genotypes. Generally, there is no significant response of the genotypes to K fertilization. There was differentiation between the genotypes in most studied parameters, although the response was not significant, that’s mean existence of variation in efficiency of K uptake and utilization among the genotypes.

Making memories: leverage neurosciences to optimize brand strategies

Gabriella Bergaglio

1) Memories influence our current decisions and experiences in powerful ways. Knowing how memories form gives brands and marketers an important advantage. 2) Experiments show that our present context and environment can override our actual experiences by activating strong memories. Brands may be able to produce more positive experiences by tapping into favorable memory networks. 3) The hippocampus connects different elements of our experiences to form memories. Memories overlap with how we anticipate the future, and our current situation shapes which memories are recalled and how. Present experiences can even reconsolidate and edit memories.

Briddlesford is a 158 ha site that has undergone extensive biological recording and conservation management. Vegetation and habitat surveys in the 1980s led to its designation as a SSSI in 1986. Surveys have found rich botanical diversity including 65 ancient woodland plant species. Red squirrel monitoring shows stable populations of around 100 squirrels. Dormice have been surveyed since 1996 as part of a national program. A 2002 bat survey discovered an important maternity colony of 57 Bechstein's bats, leading to SAC designation. Invertebrate surveys in 2002 and 2012 found over 650 species including rare moths and beetles. Bird surveys show increases in some woodland edge species but declines in others. Ongo

Techniques for studying insect migration

Athira G. Menon

Techniques for studying insect migration include both direct and indirect methods. Direct methods involve tracking the movement of individual insects using marking and recapture, radio telemetry, or new technologies like radar and lidar. Indirect methods monitor the displacement of populations using traps, aerial nets, isotopic analysis, and behavioral observations in wind tunnels and on flight mills. A combination of techniques provides the most comprehensive understanding of insect migration and how it influences population dynamics, ecology, and evolution.

Bilobate Project

Elie Aboulafia

This study aimed to determine if grass phytolith shapes and abundances can distinguish between grass taxa. Researchers: 1. Collected and prepared phytolith slides from 14 grass species at the UW herbarium, focusing on bilobate phytoliths. 2. Counted phytolith morphotypes for each species and found bilobates more common in subfamily Arundinoideae than Chloridoideae. 3. Used geometric morphometrics of bilobate phytolith shapes, finding it separated species and clades in morphospace. Preliminary results suggest phytolith traits can distinguish grass taxa and provide past climate information.

The document summarizes baseline ecological surveys conducted in 2014 at the University of Portland's River Campus riparian zone, a former Superfund site undergoing restoration. Surveys inventoried 22 woody plant species (90% in poor health), recorded 139 herbaceous plant species from 42 families including 29% natives, and observed 31 avian species and 3988 invertebrates from 16 orders. Methods were developed to monitor vegetation, birds, and insects to establish baseline data and assess ecological recovery over time. While mainly exotic species were present, several native plants and species were colonizing. Future surveys will compare data to these baselines to evaluate restoration success and riparian habitat recovery.

Some steps society can take to help reduce the effects of acid rain include: - Implementing regulations to limit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from power plants and other industrial sources. Many areas have seen reductions in acid rain as a result of these emissions regulations. - Transitioning from fossil fuels like coal to cleaner energy sources such as natural gas, solar, wind, nuclear and hydropower which produce fewer acid rain causing emissions. - Developing and adopting technologies that can capture sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from large stationary sources before they are released into the air. - Educating the public about acid rain causes and effects so individuals can make choices that produce fewer emissions, such as driving less, improving energy efficiency

This assessment was specifically carried out to identify the avian species present in the study area, describe its distribution, determine its frequency, ascertain their conservation status, and enumerate the anthropogenic factors that influence their presence in the sampling sites. In each of the five barangays, representing different habitat types, a 1 kilometer trail was established and visited twice a day until the species accumulation asymptote was reached. During each visit, photographic images of the avian species present were taken for documentation and identification purposes. There were 27 species of birds, belonging to 17 families, present in the sampling sites. Of these species, Passer montanus, Artamus leucorhynchus, and Hirundo tahitica were the most frequently sighted. On the other hand, Bulbopsittacus lunulatus was the least frequently observed bird. Majority of the birds inhabited the forest area, while others were found along riverbanks, in grasslands, and along the coasts. Except for Ceyx melanurus, which is listed as â€œvulnerableâ€, all other species were categorized as â€œleast concernâ€ under the IUCN Guidelines. Swidden agriculture slash and burn or kaingin and hunting for food and the pet trade affect the presence of birds in the sampling sites. Although there are still a number of species present, it is imperative that adequate protection and conservation measures are adopted and strictly implemented by the local government units. Joseph L.

Introduction to mapping and geographical information systems

Westcountry Rivers Trust

Nick Paling's (WRT Head of Evidence & Engagement) overview presentation to the IFM- and SFCC-hosted 'Mapping Environmental Management Workshop' held in Edinburgh on the 1-2nd March 2016. To meet the growing threats to the environment and biodiversity posed by anthropogenic pressures and climate change; to make the most efficient and effective use of the limited resources available for conservation, and to fulfill our statutory conservation targets, there is now a growing imperative for conservation and fisheries management organisations to analyse and visualise spatial evidence to inform their work and to undertake landscape-scale conservation strategy development. As a result of this increased demand, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have now become a powerful and flexible tool used by many environmental scientists, ecologists and conservation biologists engaged in a wide array of work activities.

WRT CaBA/CRF Conference 02/12/14 - Steve Granger

Westcountry Rivers Trust

This document discusses using stable isotopes to trace sources of phosphate in the River Taw catchment area. Phosphate concentrations in the river have been increasing, causing parts of the catchment to fail water quality standards for phosphorus. The document establishes baseline stable isotope signatures for different potential phosphate sources like soil, fertilizer, and manure. Isotope ratios were then measured for phosphate samples collected from sites across the catchment area. Preliminary results suggest the main sources of phosphate in the upper catchment are sewage treatment works, septic tanks, and possibly mineral fertilizers, with septic tanks being a diffuse source that could explain rising concentrations. More sampling is needed to better understand phosphate dynamics and identify other contributing sources

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...

Leonel Morgado

Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...

Leonel Morgado

Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects

Sérgio Sacani

Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is mitigated, at least in part.

Sérgio Sacani

Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions among stars. Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars. The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun. Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically, the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec. Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software. Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2 s −1 . The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution, with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
