Fishers’ Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) on Connectivity and Seascape Management

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
In developing countries where data and resources are lacking, the practical relevance of local ecological knowledge (LEK) to expand our understanding of the environment, has been highlighted. The potential roles of the LEK varies from direct applications

Lek Territory Size and the Evolution of Leks: A Model and a Test Using an Ungulate With a Flexible Mating System

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Despite many decades of research, the evolution of the rare and unusual lek-mating system continues to be debated. The key question is: why do males defend tiny territories clustered together in an aggregation when the costs of doing so are so high ...

Trade-Offs in Male Display Activity with Lek Size. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
In lek mating systems, males aggregate and defend arenas where they display for females; females select and mate with a male and then solely raise their offspring. Generally, female visits and copulations increase and reproductive variance in male mating

Female preference and predation risk models can explain the maintenance of a fallow deer (Dama dama) lek and its 'handy' location.

PLoS ONE, 2014
We tested the predictions of three models (female preference; hotspot; predator avoidance) on lek formation in the fallow deer population of San Rossore, Tuscany.

Dynamic Disturbance Processes Create Dynamic Lek Site Selection in a Prairie Grouse. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
It is well understood that landscape processes can affect habitat selection patterns, movements, and species persistence. These selection patterns may be altered or even eliminated as a result of changes in disturbance regimes and a concomitant ...

Lek i læreplanen i kroppsøving - historisk konseptualisering

Acta Didactica Norden, 2022
Lek har fra Normalplan 1922 vært omtalt som en del av kroppsøvingsfaget i skolen, og som del av fornyelsen av faget i Kunnskapsløftet 2020 (LK20) skal lek vektlegges i større grad enn tidligere.

Local ecological knowledge (LEK) suggests overfishing and sequential depletion of Peruvian coastal groundfish

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, 2023
Fish populations targeted by recreational and artisanal fisheries remain largely unassessed in low‐ and middle‐income countries. This generally results in a lack of regulatory action from government agencies, thus aggravating the risk of overfishing.

Endurance rivalry and female choice jointly influence male mating success in the emerald treefrog (Zhangixalus prasinatus), a lek-chorusing anuran

BMC Zoology, 2022
Background Endurance rivalry and female choice are two important mechanisms of sexual selection in lek-breeding species. Endurance rivalry is when males compete for opportunities to mate by spending more time in leks than others (interaction-independent ...

Congruence of local ecological knowledge (LEK)‐based methods and line‐transect surveys in estimating wildlife abundance in tropical forests

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Effective estimation of wildlife population abundance is an important component of population monitoring, and ultimately essential for the development of conservation actions.

Perceptions and Revitalization of Local Ecological Knowledge in Four Schools in Yasin Valley, North Pakistan

Mountain Research and Development, 2022
Mountains are often recognized as sites of biocultural diversity, and local ecological knowledge (LEK) is an integral part of community life. Rapid cultural standardization and urbanization have threatened biocultural diversity, posing threats to LEK in ...
