An evaluation of the effectiveness of cluster development in the Town of Southampton, New York
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-01)
Clustering new development, and as a result retaining protected open space, has been a simultaneously much touted and much maligned planning tool. Its relative merits as a tool to preserve farmland, open space and rural ...
Simple models for exploitative and interference competition
(Elsevier, 1987-02)
Competition is exploitative when species compete for the same limited resource, and interference when species deplete one another's resources by interferences such as aggressive displays or fighting. If pure exploitative ...
Modeling nutrient behavior in Wetlands
(Elsevier, 1988-01)
A simple mathematical model os developed which permites dynamic simulation of wetland hydrology and of nutrient-driven interactions between wastewater and the wetland ecosystem. Spatial variations due to surface water flow ...
Parting with illusions in evolutionary ethics
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-11)
I offer a critical analysis of a view that has become a dominant aspect of recent thought on the relationship between evolution and morality, and propose an alternative. An ingredient in Michael Ruse's 'error theory' (Ruse ...
Effect of oil on recruitment from the seed bank of two tidal freshwater wetlands
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; SPB Academic Publishing bv ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-03)
The effect of oil spills on the recruitment of freshwater tidal wetland species was determined using soil seed bank samples collected in early March from two New Jersey Delaware River marshes. Samples were exposed to ...
Impact of a once-through cooling system on the yellow perch stock in the western basin of lake erie
(Elsevier, 1982-03)
The surplus production model, a conventional fishery stock assessment model, is applied to assess the entrainment and impingement impact of the Monroe Power Plant on the yellow perch standing stock and fishery in the western ...
Dynamics of fish populations with different compensatory processes when subjected to random survival of eggs and larvae
(Elsevier, 1993-08)
It is widely believed that abundance of fish populations is determined during the larval stage, for larval abundance is high, there is high variability in larval survival, and small changes in larval abundance could have ...
Modeling the annual thermal regime of lake Ohrid, Yugoslavia, using daily weather data
(Elsevier, 1982-03)
The time-dependent characteristics of the five weather variables which control the annual thermal response of Lake Ohrid are analyzed in detail. These are daily values for solar radiation, air temperature, humidity, wind ...
The qualitative behavior of coupled predator-prey oscillations as deduced from simple circle maps
(Elsevier, 1994-05)
Qualitative patterns of the non-equilibrium behavior of coupled consumer/resource systems, formulated as a standard circle map, are explored. Patterns of demographic locking, reflected as a "devil's staircase", are observed ...
A spatial model of growth and competition strategies in coral communities
(Elsevier, 1977-10)
A discrete spatial simulation model is developed to investigate the type and intensity of biological and physical factors influencing the structure of coral communities. The model represents reproduction, growth, and ...
