This document summarizes a project to control invasive plant species on 565+ acres of conservation land owned by the University of Central Florida (UCF). The project aims to initially control four priority invasive species through contractual work. The land has a high potential for natural regeneration due to a diverse native seed bank and variety of habitat types. Long-term management will include continued invasive species control funded by UCF's Environmental Initiative to benefit listed species on the property and increase connectivity to other conservation lands.

Patterns of biodiveristy
1. There are various patterns of distribution for different species based on factors like habitat, geography, and climate. No two species have an identical distribution.
2. The causes of distribution patterns vary depending on the taxonomic level from broad families to specific genera.
3. Distribution patterns also vary depending on the spatial scale examined from global to local levels. Key factors that influence patterns include geological history, climate, food and habitat availability, competition, and human activities.
Distribution in global pattern of biodiversity
Biodiversity varies based on latitude and altitude, with the most biodiversity found in the tropical regions near the equator and decreasing as one moves further north or south in latitude or to higher altitudes up mountains. Specifically, biodiversity is lowest in the Arctic, moderate in temperate regions, and highest in the tropics between 23.5 degrees north and south latitude, while biodiversity also decreases with increasing altitude as temperature decreases the higher one goes. The document discusses these latitudinal and altitudinal gradients in biodiversity as major global patterns.
Patterns of biodiversity(introduction
Biodiversity declines with increasing distance from the equator, such that tropical regions near the equator harbor more species than temperate or polar regions further from the equator. This pattern is demonstrated by countries like Colombia, located near the equator, having over 1400 bird species, compared to places like New York at 41°N only having 105 bird species. Tropical forests at the equator can have ten times more vascular plant species than forests of equal area in temperate regions. This distribution of species can be studied under latitudinal gradients and species-area relationships.

Invasive Alien Species (IAS) are the second most threat to biodiversity after habitat loss and fragmentation. Identifying the non-native species being naturalized in your region is the fundamental step for the upcoming management strategy in future.
Mediterranean revised - unknown names
The Mediterranean forest ecosystem relies on specific biotic and abiotic factors, including various plants, animals, water, earth, air, and temperatures. The trophic network of the forest contains different trophic levels such as producers like madrone, oak, and cistus trees, primary consumers like rabbits and deer, secondary consumers like snakes and lizards, and tertiary consumers like eagles and lynx. Decomposers also play a role in transforming organic matter. Any human-caused changes could disrupt this balance and imbalance plant and animal populations, causing short-term and long-term implications.

Species diversity and abundance of avifauna in and around an urbanized lake s...Isuru Priyaranga Silva
Abstract: Avifauna species diversity and abundance in and around of an urbanized lake called Peralanda Lake were recorded using point transect technique from January 2015 to December 2016. The lake is situated at North Colombo area adjacent to Ragama city in Gampaha District. Three Different habitat types were identified as Water body habitat, Terrestrial habitat adjacent to the water body and Disturbed habitat. Bird census was performed on 20 sampling points with a radius of 25m which were fixed by using a Global Positioning System device (GPS) (Garmin e Trex). Each point was visited 3 times per month at different times of the day between 0600h to 1000h and 1500h to 1900h. Sixty-two species belonging fourteen orders and thirty-seven families were recorded during the study. These include three globally near threatened species Spot-billed Pelican (Pelecanus philippensis), Oriental Darter (Anhinga melanogaster) and Black-headed Ibis (Threskiornis melanocepha-lus); three locally near threatened species, Cotton Pygmy-goose (Nettapus coromandelianus), Oriental Honey-Buzzard (Pernis ptilorhynchus) and Black Eagle (Ictinaetus malayensis); one critically endangered species, Blue-tailed Bee-eater (Merops philippinus); two endemic species, Sri Lanka Small Barbet (Megalaima rubricapilla) and Sri Lanka Swallow (Hirundo hyper-ythra) and four migrant species, Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica), Asian Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi paradisi), Blue-tailed Bee-eater (Merops philippinus) and Forest Wagtail (Dendronanthus indicus). Highest species diversity was recorded in terrestrial habitat adjacent to the water body followed by Disturbed habitat while least species diversity was recorded in Water body habitat.Identification of Pteridophyte Species in Mt. Capistrano
The study identified 6 local pteridophyte species in Mount Capistrano, with varying richness along different elevations and aspects of the mountain. Analysis revealed greater populations in the West side and variation among species in different mountain phases. Pteridophytes are abundant and diverse, playing important ecological roles. They thrive between 700-2000m but are threatened by deforestation, with over half considered vulnerable, endangered or threatened. Conservation efforts are needed to address loss of pteridophyte species and habitats from human activities like settlement, industries and tourism.

It describes conflicts between conservation and development, including events that destroyed colonies of the endangered Atala Hairstreak butterfly. Ongoing development threatens isolated colonies of other endangered butterflies like the Bartram's Scrub Hairstreak and Florida Leafwing that depend on the unique pine rocklands habitat and host plants. Global biodiversity loss is occurring rapidly as habitats are destroyed and wildlife is fragmented into isolated populations.
Koi_Nectar sources for E. atala
This article lists nectar sources that have been observed and documented to be used by the atala butterfly in Florida. It provides the scientific names and families of over 30 plant species that the atala butterfly has been seen nectaring on. Maintaining populations of both the atala butterfly's larval host plant (coontie) and suitable nectar plants for adults is important for the conservation of this vulnerable species, as development continues to reduce its wild habitat in South Florida. Additional observations of atala butterfly colonies can be found online.
Invasive alien species
The document discusses two invasive alien species: Liriomyza trifolii (American serpentine leaf miner) and Ceratitis capitata (Mediterranean fruit fly). L. trifolii originated in North America and has a wide host range of over 29 plant families. It can develop up to 32 generations per year in tropical areas. C. capitata is native to sub-Saharan Africa and has spread globally through the transport of infested fruits. As a highly polyphagous species, its larvae develop in many fruits including citrus, mangoes, and coffee. Standard control methods for both pests include the use of insecticides and sterile insect techniques.
Koi & Daniels_2015_New Atala Life history_Florida Entomologist
This document summarizes a study on the life history of the Florida hairstreak butterfly (Eumaeus atala). Key findings include:
- The butterfly was once common in southeast Florida but became rare/extinct due to habitat loss and overharvesting of its host plant. A small population was discovered in 1979.
- The objective of the study was to document life history parameters like longevity, reproduction, and development to help conservation efforts.
- A captive breeding population was established and studied under controlled conditions. Wild larvae and pupae were also collected from natural areas for replenishment.
- Preliminary results found longevity was greater than previously recorded and reproductive behavior supports increased genetic exchange.
Feral Swine Project Report
This document describes a 5-year study assessing the impacts of control operations on a recreationally hunted feral swine population at Avon Park Air Force Range in Florida. Researchers monitored the population from 2008-2012 using a passive tracking index during dry and wet seasons, and hunter take rates during the dry season. All indices showed substantial declines in the feral swine population after control operations began in 2009, leveling off for the final two study years. Control efforts were limited by military missions and hunting seasons, preventing further reduction of the population. The tracking index also monitored coyotes and detected black bears and panthers on the base.

This study surveyed the avian diversity in and around Chinari, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan over different seasons in 2009. A total of 72 bird species from 13 orders and 39 families were observed. Species richness and abundance were highest in summer with 54 species and 316 individuals, respectively. The most common orders observed were Passeriformes and Coraciformes. The study found variation in avian diversity and population between seasons likely due to food availability and breeding periods. It recommends further surveys and conservation programs to protect endangered species in the area.
Invasive alien species
The document discusses invasive alien species (IAS) as a threat to biodiversity and the environment. It describes how some species have traits like rapid growth and reproduction that allow them to outcompete native species. IAS are often introduced through human activities like importing plants, releasing ballast water from ships, or the pet trade. They can negatively impact ecosystems, economies, agriculture, and human health. Effective control requires integrated approaches like mechanical removal, chemicals, biological controls, and habitat management. The conclusion states that IAS are a major threat globally and that their impacts must be managed.

The document provides examples like water hyacinth and mentions methods to control invasives.
Global diversity patterns and loss of biodiversity
Global diversity patterns and loss of biodiversityCollege of Fisheries, KVAFSU, Mangalore, Karnataka
This document discusses global biodiversity patterns and loss of biodiversity. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life on Earth, including diversity within and between species and ecosystems. It notes that biodiversity is highest in tropical regions and identifies 34 global biodiversity hotspots that contain over half of the world's plant and vertebrate species on just 2.5% of land. The major threats to biodiversity are habitat loss and degradation, overexploitation, pollution, climate change, and invasive species. Deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture have destroyed much natural habitat and led to population declines and extinctions in many species. Over 38% of evaluated species are now considered threatened with extinction.Growth and Yield of Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus L. Moench) as Affected by Pl...
Growth and Yield of Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus L. Moench) as Affected by Pl...Journal of Agriculture and Crops
This paper examines the effects of planting date (early planting, mid-season planting and late-season planting) and weeding regimes (two weeding before harvesting, three weeding before harvesting and weed free plots) on yield of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) in the Tolon district of Northern Ghana. The results show that different weed species, categorized as broad leaves, grasses and sedges, were dominant depending on the planting date and weeding regime. While there was no significant interaction (p>0.05) between planting date and weeding regime on fruit yield, nor significant impact of planting date as a sole treatment on fruit yield, the results showed the existence of significant effect of weeding regime as a sole treatment on yield and yield parameters of okra (p<0.05). Triple weeding resulted in okra yields comparable to the weed-free treatments (mean of 6000 kg/ha to 6300 kg/ha, p>0.05) but significantly higher (p<0.05) and about triple the yield observed in the treatments with double weeding regimes (mean of 1800 kg/ha to 2300 kg/ha). As cost of production, besides the cost of weeding, remains same for all treatments, Triple weeding is recommended for the small-holder farmer. It is associated with less labor cost compared to continuous weeding in the weed free treatments, and the triple gains in yield could offset the additional labor cost incurred in the triple weeding compared to the double weeding regimes.Sustainability&Urban Ecology Training overview sm

This document summarizes a study that evaluated the risk of plant species introduced into botanical gardens becoming invasive weeds using a Weed Risk Assessment (WRA). The study analyzed data on plant introductions at two botanical gardens to compare risk scores between conservation species and horticultural introductions. It found conservation species had significantly lower and less variable risk scores than horticultural species. No species scored above the threshold for high risk of invasiveness. The study concludes the WRA is an effective tool for evaluating managed relocations of plant species into botanical gardens, especially when uncertainty exists about a species' risk of becoming invasive.Fall18 theoretical-ecology presentation

Butterflies are important for many reasons such as ecosystem services, research, education, and conservation. They face many threats including habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use. Conservation strategies aim to address critical information gaps, monitor and protect imperiled species, restore habitats, and involve the public to aid in butterfly recovery efforts.Dan Metcalfe_Long-term monitoring of tropical rainforests of eastern Australia
Long-term monitoring of tropical rainforests in eastern Australia has provided key insights into the maintenance of biodiversity, role of natural disturbances, and dynamics of vertebrate populations over decades. This research has informed management of invasive species and climate change scenarios. While only covering 0.2% of Australia, these rainforests harbor significant biodiversity and are culturally important. Ongoing threats include fragmentation, weeds, feral animals, and climate change. Long-term local investment in monitoring is critical to understanding community change over time.
Junger and Duong Butterfly Report 2015
This study examined the diversity and abundance of fruit-feeding butterflies across four habitat types in a Costa Rican cloud forest: primary forest, natural secondary regrowth forest, planted secondary regrowth forest, and pastureland. The researchers trapped 174 butterflies of 27 species over six weeks. They found that planted secondary regrowth forest had the highest species richness, diversity, and evenness, indicating reforestation efforts were improving diversity. Climate change may be causing butterflies to move to new elevations.
Biodiversity and conservation
This document discusses biodiversity at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. It provides examples of species diversity, such as the large number of ant and beetle species. Drivers of biodiversity loss include habitat loss, overexploitation, invasive species, and coextinctions. Conservation approaches involve both in situ methods like biosphere reserves, and ex situ techniques like seed banks and wildlife parks.

Grasslands slides
1) Grasslands provide important ecosystem functions such as carbon storage, nutrient recycling, and habitat. They also act as a buffer between deserts and forests.
2) Fires play an essential role in grassland ecosystems, occurring naturally every 4-20 years on average depending on climate and vegetation. Fire controls species dominance and facilitates germination.
3) Widespread conversion of grasslands to agriculture and urbanization has dramatically reduced grassland areas worldwide. Remaining grasslands face threats from overgrazing, invasive species, and changes in historic fire regimes.
Chapter 57
Conservation biology is an applied science devoted to preserving life diversity. It draws on knowledge from various disciplines to understand threats to biodiversity and develop strategies for conservation. The current extinction crisis is unique in that it is human-induced. We value biodiversity for ecological, economic, scientific, and ethical reasons. However, habitat destruction, exotic species introduction, overexploitation, and climate change are major threats driven by human activities. Conservation strategies include protected areas, restoration ecology, and controlling invasive species.
BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION-converted (1).pdf
This document discusses biodiversity at multiple levels ranging from genes to ecosystems. It notes that biodiversity is highest in the tropics due to greater evolutionary time and more stable environments. Species diversity decreases with increasing latitude away from the equator. While over 1.5 million species have been described, the actual number on Earth is estimated to be much higher. The main threats to biodiversity are habitat loss, overexploitation, invasive species, and coextinctions. Efforts are underway to conserve biodiversity through protected areas and genetic repositories.
Endangered species presentation-
Extinct species of animals from India were discussed. Key extinct species included the Zanzibar leopard, Baiji river dolphin, and Indian cheetah. The main causes of extinction were loss of habitat due to human activities like agriculture, overhunting, and pollution. Conservation efforts in India and internationally include establishing marine protected areas and legislation to protect threatened wildlife. However, human factors continue to threaten biodiversity if not addressed.
Living with Wildlife Across Large Landscapes with Complicated Jurisdictions-G...
This document discusses approaches to large-scale conservation across landscapes and international borders. It provides examples from around the world of establishing protected areas and ecological connectivity to support wide-ranging species. Specific cases discussed include creating parks and protecting gorilla habitat in the Congo Basin, maintaining habitat and migration corridors for wolves and pronghorn in Yellowstone and the Upper Green River Basin, and modeling wolverine habitat needs at appropriate scales for management. The document advocates for the ecological recovery of bison in North America through establishing multiple large free-ranging herds across their historic habitats and ecosystems in order to restore ecological processes at continental scales.
biodiversity and its conservation part 2.pptx
The document discusses biodiversity loss and conservation efforts. It notes that the current extinction rate is 100-1000 times faster than historical rates due to human activities. The four main causes of extinction are habitat loss, overexploitation, invasive species, and co-extinction. Conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity through both in situ and ex situ methods. In situ approaches include biodiversity hotspots, sacred groves, and protected areas like national parks and sanctuaries. Ex situ involves zoos, botanical gardens, gene banks, and cryopreservation. International agreements like the Earth Summit and World Summit address conservation goals.
Lecture 5 (1)
The document discusses trends in species extinction and how human activities are accelerating extinction rates. The main points are:
1) The current extinction rate is 100 times the historical background rate and is projected to increase to 10,000 times by 2100 due to habitat loss, invasive species, pollution, climate change and overexploitation from human activities.
2) International treaties and national laws like the U.S. Endangered Species Act aim to protect threatened species by regulating trade and designating protected areas, but more funding is needed for recovery plans.
3) We can help reduce extinction rates by establishing more wildlife refuges and protected areas, supporting gene banks and zoos, and adopting sustainable practices to reduce our impact

Biodiversity at risk
Scientists warn that the current mass extinction of species is human-caused. The major drivers of extinction are habitat loss, invasive species, pollution, overharvesting, hunting and poaching. Some areas like tropical rainforests have exceptionally high biodiversity and endemic species. Conservation efforts include captive breeding programs, preserving genetic material, protecting ecosystems, and establishing protected areas and regulations like the U.S. Endangered Species Act and the international CITES treaty. However, balancing conservation with human needs and development remains an ongoing challenge.

The document discusses biodiversity at three hierarchical levels - genetic, species, and ecological diversity. It provides examples of genetic diversity within different species. Species diversity depends on the number and richness of species in a region. Ecological diversity refers to diversity at the ecosystem level, like rainforests and mangroves. Tropical regions generally have higher biodiversity than temperate regions. Species diversity increases with area up to a limit, following a logarithmic relationship. The document outlines threats to biodiversity from habitat loss, overexploitation, invasive species, and co-extinctions.
Bringing Biodiverasity Back to Urban Landscapes
This talk, which I presented in 2017, covers fundamental issues related to loss of biodiversity in urban landscapes, and discusses ways that landscapes can be designed and managed to enhance biodiversity. In a world of increasing urbanization, it will be increasingly imperative to enhance the conservation value of urban landscapes.

Scientific Poster of Bauer and Stanley
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.
Conservation Biology
Chapter 5.2 of Conservation Biology discusses methods for protecting biodiversity and natural resources. It covers legal protections for endangered species under acts like the U.S. Endangered Species Act and CITES. It also discusses preserving habitats through national parks and habitat corridors. Sustainable use programs aim to enable resource use while maintaining ecosystems. Reintroduction and species preservation programs work to save species like the California condor and black-footed ferret. Some species exist only in captivity.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
