Exploring Complexity in a Human-Environment System: An Agent-based Spatial Model for Multidisciplinary and Multiscale Integration
Published on July 1, 2004
Traditional approaches to studying human–environment interactions often ignore individual-level information, do not account for complexities, or fail to integrate cross-scale or cross-discipline data and methods. -
Impacts of Demographic and Socioeconomic Factors on Spatio-temporal Dynamics of Panda Habitat
Published on June 21, 2004
Demographic and socioeconomic factors of individual people and households may have significant impacts on their environment, which in turn may affect the spatio-temporal dynamics of wildlife habitat and local biodiversity. -
Using artificial neural networks to map the spatial distribution of understorey bamboo from remote sensing data
Published on May 10, 2004
Understorey vegetation is a critical component of biodiversity and an essential habitat component for many wildlife species. -
Assessing Landowner Activities Related to Birds Across Rural-to-Urban Landscapes
Published on February 2, 2004
Fluctuations of bird abundances in the Midwest region of the United States have been attributed to such factors as landscape change, habitat fragmentation, depredation, and supplemental feeding. -
Physical and social access to land: spatio-temporal patterns of agricultural expansion in Madagascar
Published on January 1, 2004
This paper concerns a relatively small area on the island’s eastern escarpment where considerable national and international attention has been paid to slow the expansion of agriculture into the remaining natural forests. -

Landowners and Cat Predation across Rural-to-Urban Landscapes
Published on February 20, 2003
To understand the impacts of cat predation on birds, we surveyed all 1694 private landowners living on three BBS routes that represent a continuum of rural-to-urban landscapes in Southeastern Michigan, where the majority of land is privately owned. -
Effects of household dynamics on resource consumption and biodiversity
Published on January 30, 2003
Here we report that growth in household numbers globally, and particularly in countries with biodiversity hotspots (areas rich in endemic species and threatened by human activities), was more rapid than aggregate population growth between 1985 and 2000. -
Fingerprints of Global Warming on Wild Animals and Plants
Published on January 2, 2003
We gathered information on species and global warming from 143 studies for our meta-analyses. These analyses reveal a consistent temperature-related shift, or ‘fingerprint’, in species ranging from molluscs to mammals and from grasses to trees. -
