Food niche variation within a population of white-spotted charr, Salvelinus leucomaenis, was investigated by means of mark and recapture to examine the simplification that conspecific individuals are ecologically equivalent. Food diversity measured on the basis of living form of dietary organisms demonstrated variability in food niche in incidence, degree, and stability. As inferred from body size distribution and fish movement, niche variation was inexplicable by social rank hierarchy or foraging habitat rotation, and occasional niches were deemed to be realized individually. Higher annual growth rate shown by those with a larger niche width indicated the adaptive significance in niche variation. Assuming trade-off between feeding efficiency and predation risk, phenotypic plasticity was suggested to determine the food niche specialization of individuals to maximize lifetime fitness. 相似文献

The habitats of many species are fragmented. Therefore, the survival in a metapopulation depends on the stability of the single populations and the amount of movements between patches. We chose the calcareous grassland specialist butterfly species Polyommatus coridon as a model. As study area, we selected a mosaic-like landscape in Rhineland-Palatinate (western Germany) with several well preserved calcareous grassland fragments. We marked a total of 2,211 individuals during July and August 2003. The overall recapture ratio was 7.1%. The estimated mean butterfly densities over the whole flight season ranged from 52 to 487 individuals per hectare. The within-patch movements were relatively low (13.3%) compared with the between-patch movements (3.2%). Therefore, the metapopulation structure appears to be intact in our study area. 相似文献

Summary The vast majority of population models work using age or stage not length but there are many cases where animals cannot be aged sensibly or accurately. For these cases length‐based models form the logical alternative but there has been little work done to develop and compare different methods of estimating growth transition matrices to be used in such models. This article demonstrates how a consistent Bayesian framework for estimating growth parameters and a novel method for constructing length transition matrices accounts for variation in growth in a clear and consistent manner and avoids potential subjective choices required using more established methods. The inclusion of the resultant growth uncertainty in population assessment models and the potential impact on management decisions is also addressed. 相似文献

Variograms, which are frequently used in geostatistics, are of value also in the statistics of marked point processes. When the marks come from a random field which is independent of the point process, ideas of geostatistics suffice for the interpretation of point process variograms. When this model is not appropriate, interactions between the points lead to point process variograms having forms which are unusual in geostcistics. This is shown by three theoretical examples and one from forestry. 相似文献

To devise effective conservation actions, it is important to know which factors are associated with the population parameters of a declining population. Using mark–recapture methods, we estimated the annual population size, growth rate and survival probability of an ear-tagged flying squirrel population over a 15-year period in a 4,500 ha study area in western Finland. The species is considered vulnerable, but detailed knowledge concerning population sizes or trends is lacking. The population parameters and changes therein were regressed against habitat availability, an indicator of predation pressure, and mean winter temperature (an indicator of climate change), to reveal potential reasons for trends in the population. The best-fit models suggested the annual growth rate to be below one, and on average it was 0.93 (±0.06; SE) across the 15-year period. The survival probability was about 0.22 (±0.03) for juveniles and 0.50 (±0.03) for adults. The population size of adult flying squirrels decreased from 65 (±11) individuals in 1995 to 29 (±6) individuals in 2009. The number of flying squirrels was associated with the amount of available habitat, but the decline in population size was more rapid than the loss of habitat area. If the current decreasing trend in habitat availability continues, the population might become extinct by the year 2020. To halt the population decline, it is necessary to refrain from clear-cutting mature spruce stands until new suitable habitats develop from the maturation of younger forests. 相似文献
