Maintaining biological diversity and human well-being.Integrating research into freshwater biodiversity and the role of keystone species, this fascinating book presents freshwater crayfish as representatives of human-exacerbated threats to biodiversity and conservation. It uses examples from these and other large decapod invertebrates to explore how communities function and are controlled, alongside the implications of human demands and conflicts over limited resources, notably the severe impacts on biodiversity. The discussion is structured around three key topics - the present situation of crayfish in world freshwater ecosystems, the applications of science to conservation management and knowledge transfer for successful crayfish management. It outlines the historic exploitation of crayfish, addressing the problems caused by invasive alien forms and explaining the importance of correct identification when dealing with conservation issues. Offering a global perspective on freshwater systems, the book ultimately highlights how the conservation of such large and long-lived species will help protect ecosystem quality in the future.CrayfishEcologyFreshwater biodiversity conservationIndicators (Biology)CrayfishEcology.Freshwater biodiversity conservation.Indicators (Biology)595.3/84NAT010000bisacshReynolds J.

The field of artificial economics covers a broad range of methodologies relying on computer simulations in order to model and study the complexity of economic and social phenomena. The grounding principle of artificial economics is the analysis of aggregate properties of simulated systems populated by interacting adaptive agents that are equipped with heterogeneous individual behavioral rules. These macroscopic properties are neither foreseen nor intended by the artificial agents but generated collectively by them. They are emerging characteristics of such artificially simulated systems.Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems,2196-9957 ;676EconometricsComputer engineeringComputer networksSocial sciencesData processingSystem theoryQuantitative EconomicsComputer Engineering and NetworksComputer Application in Social and Behavioral SciencesComplex SystemsEconometrics.Computer engineering.Computer networks.Social sciencesData processing.System theory.Quantitative Economics.Computer Engineering and Networks.Computer Application in Social and Behavioral Sciences.Complex Systems.330.0113Amblard Frédéricedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiguel Francisco Jedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBlanchet Adrienedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGaudou Benoitedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298501403321Advances in artificial economics1494772UNINA
