Including Spatial Heterogeneity and Animal Dispersal When Evaluating Hunting: a Model Analysis and an Empirical Assessment in an Amazonian Community

Article Abstract:

A spatially explicit model is presented for assessing the degree of overharvesting among 12 game species in Ecuador. Findings are presented, and the role of the model in determining no-take areas and the development of sustainable hunting policies is discussed.

Potential Ecological Distribution of Alien Invasive Species and Risk Assessment: a Case Study of Buffel Grass in Arid Regions of Mexico

Article Abstract:

A spatial modeling approach, the Genetic Algorithm for Rule-Set Prediction, was applied to buffel grass encroachment in Mexico. It provides a baseline for the evaluation, management, and prevention of non-native species invasions.
