field ecologists, experimentalists) who have practical knowledge about the system, and the modelers that are able to express this knowledge in mathematical terms. In addition, more exchange between the different fields of (ecological) modeling could facilitate model comparisons across the range of ...
Developer Tropes: "Google does it" - It's cargo-cultish to imitate the big names in our industry as a path to success. Instead, the take home from this article “would be that managers and other leaders should be like ecologists; who measure, observe and nurture their ecosystems. Doing ...
linear response from the reference period to the next two generations. However, if people lost the long-term memory after one generation and initiated a return towards the watercourses (in the second generation), we would detect a more complex unimodal pattern. This pattern would have the ...
