Journal ArticleDOI

Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity/diversity: the importance of keystone structures

TL;DR: It is shown that ecological effects of habitat heterogeneity may vary considerably between species groups depending on whether structural attributes are perceived as heterogeneity or fragmentation, and possible effects may also vary relative to the structural variable measured.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pattern-oriented modeling of agent-based complex systems: lessons from ecology

TL;DR: This paper argues that recent advances in ecological modeling have come together in a general strategy that provides a unifying framework for decoding the internal organization of agent-based complex systems and may lead toward unifying algorithmic theories of the relation between adaptive behavior and system complexity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moving in the Anthropocene : global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements

Marlee A. Tucker, +135 more
- 26 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Using a unique GPS-tracking database of 803 individuals across 57 species, it is found that movements of mammals in areas with a comparatively high human footprint were on average one-half to one-third the extent of their movements in area with a low human footprint.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using pattern-oriented modeling for revealing hidden information: a key for reconciling ecological theory and application

TL;DR: Using the pattern-oriented approach to its full potential will require a major paradigm shift in the strategies of modeling and data collection, and it is argued that more emphasis must be placed on observing and documenting relevant patterns in addition to attempts to obtain direct estimates of model parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecological buffering mechanisms in savannas : a unifying theory of long-term tree-grass coexistence

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a new unifying concept of savanna existence, i.e., the concept of ecological buffering mechanisms, which integrates both earlier concepts of ecological theory and general ideas on savanna dynamics as well as specific studies of savannas in different parts of the world.
