Sobre IBD

Ecological risk assessment is defined as the monitoring of ecological resources to calculate changes and hazards faced by the ecosystems. Long-term damage can lead to larger sections of wildlife and flora being adversely affected. Models of risk assessment to deal with concrete effects that can be assessed as well as theoretical foresight that can be analyzed. This book on ecological risk assessment discusses the various models of ecological assessment and its relation to the severity of risk that is posed. From theories to research practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance of this field have been included in this book. It is a compilation of chapters that discusses the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of ecological risk assessment. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.

    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...
