Biotic interactions influence the projected distribution of a specialist mammal under climate change
Brooke L. Bateman Jeremy VanDerWal Stephen E. Williams Christopher N. Johnson 《Diversity & distributions》2012,18(9):861-872
Aim
To measure the effects of including biotic interactions on climate‐based species distribution models (SDMs) used to predict distribution shifts under climate change. We evaluated the performance of distribution models for an endangered marsupial, the northern bettong (Bettongia tropica), comparing models that used only climate variables with models that also took into account biotic interactions.Location
North‐east Queensland, Australia.Methods
We developed separate climate‐based distribution models for the northern bettong, its two main resources and a competitor species. We then constructed models for the northern bettong by including climate suitability estimates for the resources and competitor as additional predictor variables to make climate + resource and climate + resource + competition models. We projected these models onto seven future climate scenarios and compared predictions of northern bettong distribution made by these differently structured models, using a ‘global’ metric, the I similarity statistic, to measure overlap in distribution and a ‘local’ metric to identify where predictions differed significantly.Results
Inclusion of food resource biotic interactions improved model performance. Over moderate climate changes, up to 3.0 °C of warming, the climate‐only model for the northern bettong gave similar predictions of distribution to the more complex models including interactions, with differences only at the margins of predicted distributions. For climate changes beyond 3.0 °C, model predictions diverged significantly. The interactive model predicted less contraction of distribution than the simpler climate‐only model.Main conclusions
Distribution models that account for interactions with other species, in particular direct resources, improve model predictions in the present‐day climate. For larger climate changes, shifts in distribution of interacting species cause predictions of interactive models to diverge from climate‐only models. Incorporating interactions with other species in SDMs may be needed for long‐term prediction of changes in distribution of species under climate change, particularly for specialized species strongly dependent on a small number of biotic interactions. 相似文献2.

Aim
Land use is the most pervasive driver of biodiversity loss. Predicting its impact on species richness (SR) is often based on indicators of habitat loss. However, the degradation of habitats, especially through land-use intensification, also affects species. Here, we evaluate whether an integrative metric of land-use intensity, the human appropriation of net primary production, is correlated with the decline of SR in used landscapes across the globe.Location

Based on species range maps (spatial resolution: 20 km × 20 km) and an area-of-habitat approach, we calibrated a “species–energy model” by correlating the SR of three groups of vertebrates with net primary production and biogeographical covariables in “wilderness” areas (i.e., those where available energy is assumed to be still at pristine levels). We used this model to project the difference between pristine SR and the SR corresponding to the energy remaining in used landscapes (i.e., SR loss expected owing to human energy extraction outside wilderness areas). We validated the projected species loss by comparison with the realized and impending loss reconstructed from habitat conversion and documented by national Red Lists.Results
Species–energy models largely explained landscape-scale variation of mapped SR in wilderness areas (adjusted R2-values: 0.79–0.93). Model-based projections of SR loss were lower, on average, than reconstructed and documented ones, but the spatial patterns were correlated significantly, with stronger correlation in mammals (Pearson's r = 0.68) than in amphibians (r = 0.60) and birds (r = 0.57).Main conclusions
Our results suggest that the human appropriation of net primary production is a useful indicator of heterotrophic species loss in used landscapes, hence we recommend its inclusion in models based on species–area relationships to improve predictions of land-use-driven biodiversity loss. 相似文献4.

Background
This simulation study investigated potential modulations of total peripheral resistance (TPR), due to distributed peripheral vascular activity, by means of a lumped model of the arterial tree and a non linear model of microcirculation, inclusive of local controls of blood flow and tissue-capillary fluid exchange. 相似文献5.
Matrix metalloproteinase-3 inhibitor retards treadmill running-induced cartilage degradation in rats
Introduction
The effect of intra-articular injection of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 inhibitor was investigated in a rat model to understand the role of MMP-3 in cartilage degradation induced by excessive loading from running. 相似文献6.

Hypertriglyceridemia is a common lipid abnormality accompanying insulin resistance. This study was designed to assess the contribution of dysregulation of adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity to the hypertriglyceridemia in a rat model of insulin resistance. 相似文献7.

Introduction
Osteoporosis (OP) increases cartilage damage in a combined rabbit model of OP and osteoarthritis (OA). Accordingly, we assessed whether microstructure impairment at subchondral bone aggravates cartilage damage in this experimental model. 相似文献8.

Background
A logical model of the known metabolic processes in S. cerevisiae was constructed from iFF708, an existing Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) model, and augmented with information from the KEGG online pathway database. The use of predicate logic as the knowledge representation for modelling enables an explicit representation of the structure of the metabolic network, and enables logical inference techniques to be used for model identification/improvement. 相似文献16.

Objectives
The traditional polio model depicts a positive relationship between the disease and socioeconomic status (SES), with higher SES associated with exposure to the poliovirus beyond infancy/early childhood and a higher mortality rate. This study uses occupation data from non-Māori New Zealand death registrations and the Census to assess evidence for differential mortality by SES during the polio epidemics of 1916, 1924–25, and 1936–37.Materials and Methods
Polio deaths were classified by father's occupation using the Caversham Project scheme, which includes nine collapsible urban occupational strata and codes rural occupations separately. Evidence for differential mortality and differences in age at death between rural and urban areas and among urban occupational strata was assessed using nonparametric Mann–Whitney U, Kruskal–Wallis, Jonckheere-Terpstra, and chi-square tests.Results
There was limited evidence of either differential mortality or differences in age at death among collapsed urban strata, mainly in 1924/25, only partially meeting the expectations of the traditional polio model. For 1916 only, the rural group had a higher proportion of deaths (χ2 (1, n = 95) = 8.341, p = 0.0039, φ = 0.30)) and higher age at death (U = 828.00, p = 0.026, r = −0.23).Discussion
These results suggest that rural New Zealand was more isolated from poliovirus infection prior to 1916, but thereafter rural and urban groups faced more similar exposure patterns and mortality—at least among non-Māori. The degree to which occupational categories reflect conditions of exposure requires further research.20.
