Sommario/riassunto

Spatial patterns of movement are fundamental to the ecology of animal populations, influencing their social organization, mating systems, demography, and the spatial distribution of prey and competitors. However, our ability to understand the causes and consequences of animal home range patterns has been limited by the descriptive nature of the statistical models used to analyze them. In Mechanistic Home



Range Analysis, Paul Moorcroft and Mark Lewis develop a radically new framework for studying animal home range patterns based on the analysis of correlated random work models for individual movement behavior. They use this framework to develop a series of mechanistic home range models for carnivore populations. The authors' analysis illustrates how, in contrast to traditional statistical home range models that merely describe pattern, mechanistic home range models can be used to discover the underlying ecological determinants of home range patterns observed in populations, make accurate predictions about how spatial distributions of home ranges will change following environmental or demographic disturbance, and analyze the functional significance of the movement strategies of individuals that give rise to observed patterns of space use. By providing researchers and graduate students of ecology and wildlife biology with a more illuminating way to analyze animal movement, Mechanistic Home Range Analysis will be an indispensable reference for years to come.

Sommario/riassunto

Nous expérimentons une ère post mass média. Alors que nous étions habitués à lire la presse papier ou à regarder la télévision, la digitalisation de l’information a changé nos habitudes. Nous consultons les sites de presse en ligne, regardons la télévision en choisissant l’heure de diffusion via les sites de catch up TV, nous transférons les informations que nous trouvons intéressantes. Comme le remarque Christina Spurgeon dans son ouvrage Advertising and the New Media, nous inaugurons une époque marquée par le « glissement du mass media vers mon media » (shift from mass media to my media). Non seulement le média est devenu individuel mais il est résolument nomade, comme en témoigne le succès de la téléphonie mobile, des ordinateurs ultra-portables ou des tablettes numériques. Tous ces changements, toutes ces innovations, posent un très grand nombre de questions. L’originalité du colloque Médias09, qui s’est déroulé à Aix-en-Provence les 16 et 17 décembre 2009 à l’Université Paul Cézanne, a été de faire se rencontrer des chercheurs de disciplines académiques travaillant sur des objets communs mais de manière souvent isolée. Ils ont croisé des méthodes et des regards scientifiques différents sur une thématique commune : le développement des modes de communications communautaires et mobiles. Le colloque interdisciplinaire Médias09 inaugure une série de rencontres aixoises qui seront désormais organisées tous les deux ans en décembre.
