behavior, and population dynamics, presenting hypotheses for their effects on wildlife disease. Where possible, we provided evidence for the links that we describe, and we discussed the reasons for evidence gaps when they occurred. Finally
2017). Invertebrates play a critical role in the functioning of urban forests and therefore in providing these benefits to urban inhabitants. In this review, we describe the many roles invertebrates play in structuring and maintaining the functioning of urban forests and argue for the conservation ...
Therefore, clarifying the contribution of decomposition to soil CO2 emissions during the postfire succession is paramount to determining the fire C-climate feedback. The studies reviewed that quantified each component's contribution describe competing patterns of heterotrophic and autotrophic contributions to...
Each of the thousands of 3-dimensional grid cells can be represented by mathematical equations that describe the materials in it and the way energy moves through it. The advanced equations are based on the fundamental laws of physics, fluid motion, and chemistry. To “run” a model, ...
The Bureau of Meteorology has a mandate to issue warnings for weather and climate events that are likely to result in harm and loss. This service has been delivered in an end-to-end (science to service) context and warnings messages have typically been crafted to describe the current and pre...
Living organisms are complex systems, made up of many interacting components, the behavior of which is often difficult to predict. A program to investigate them will require both the development of appropriate languages to describe information processing in biological systems and the generation of more...
As noted earlier, sometimes the goal (eg to survive or escape) will only appear after the character is confronted with the problem (being stalked by a killer, trapped in a bushfire). Make clear, early on: What your hero wants; Why he wants it so desperately. Make his motivation primal,...
In this short post I’ll describe one way to run an annual retrospective so you and your group can reflect on what happened this past year, discuss what you make of it, and begin to decide what the next wise actions to take next year might be. ...
This ‘undoing’ term is used to describe men's ‘top-down’ adoption of new safety standards displacing a risky established workplace pilot masculinity, with risk -apparently- being eradicated following debriefing processes that prioritised safety. However, limitations became evident when men's ‘...
House is 38 wide by 100 long and front porch faces West and Down hill...very spectacular sun sets 300 day a year**Never sure how to accurately describe this...the wind is blowing from the west to the East...into and up the hills...and there is a oblique angle of flow that ...
