Theoretical Ecologist Arild O. Gautestad Releases New Book
Summary
“Some scientists that are working on these challenges in their respective fields of expertise are now looking for a broader system formulation, where all the fascinating novel insight on process details may be brought together in a coherent manner,” Gautestad said.In “Animal Space Use,” Gautestad examines concepts such as spatial memory leading to site fidelity, home ranges and attraction to conspecifics – a different memory-dependent property that contributes to population survival by counteracting decline in local abundance from unconstrained dispersal.Indianapolis, IN, January 26, 2016 --( PR.com )-- Animals use space in a much more complex way than might be imagined, and theoretical ecologist Arild O. Gautestad shares his findings in a new book released by Dog Ear Publishing.“Some scientists that are working on these challenges in their respective fields of expertise are now looking for a broader system formulation, where all the fascinating novel insight on process details may be brought together in a coherent manner,” Gautestad said.It was one of just nine books recognized with the honor in 2015.In “Animal Space Use,” Gautestad examines concepts such as spatial memory leading to site fidelity, home ranges and attraction to conspecifics – a different memory-dependent property that contributes to population survival by counteracting decline in local abundance from unconstrained dispersal.
