Data‐Based Detection of Antagonistic Agents in a Robot Swarm Solving a Dynamic Coverage Task
International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Robot swarms can be deployed as moving surveillance systems, for instance, as mobile anti‐poaching systems for monitoring wildlife and detecting poaching activities. Since poachers have an interest in evading detection, robots are at risk of being hijacked and manipulated to behave antagonistically, for example, to prevent the correct ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific interactions. The elevational niche‐breadth hypothesis predicts broader ecological niches at higher elevations due to increased environmental stress and ...

A Dynamic Bioeconomic Model of Ivory Trade: Details and Extended Results [PDF]
Trade in ivory is banned under CITES in an effort to protect the African elephant. The trade ban is supported by some range states, most notably Kenya, because they see the ban as an effective means for protecting a ‘flagship’ species, one that attracts ...

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.
