À la recherche de données : Nature et flux des informations au fondement des politiques de gestion du sanglier urbain. L’exemple bordelais

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

La nature en ville abrite une large biodiversité. Tandis que la présence de certaines espèces est bienvenue, d’autres s’y sont installées sans y avoir été invitées. C’est le cas du sanglier. Le défi gestion posé par grande faune urbaine écologique, il aussi culturel, politique et éthique. Cette étude, motivée l'incertitude générale concernant les enjeux socio-écologiques coexistence avec sanglier urbain solutions à apporter, explore analyse informations qui fondent politiques l'espèce. démarche s’appuie sur enquête terrain conduite dans Métropole Bordeaux, visant suivre cheminement l’information réseau des acteurs territoriaux. L’objectif double : i) recueillir analyser données existantes relatives au urbain, aux problèmes générées l’espèce dispositifs place, ii) modéliser flux d’informations entre groupes sociaux confrontés et/ou impliqués sa gestion. étude met évidence carence données, accompagnée d'une confusion organisations responsables suivi problème. précision gestionnaires repose capacité poser problème, donnée mobilisée comme instrument pouvoir engagés combats légitimité sociale. Postulant l’intégration prérequis formes liberté choix urbaine, nous proposons discutons mise place d’une plateforme collaborative dépôts signalements relatifs faune, adaptée contexte socio-écologique urbain.

Searching for Data: Nature and Flow of Information Underlying Urban Wild Boar Management Policies. Bordeaux (France) as a Case Study

Cybergeo, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Nature in the city harbours a wide range of biodiversity. While some species are welcomed, others have settled uninvited. This is case with wild boar. The challenge managing large urban wildlife not only ecological but also cultural, political, and ethical. study, driven by general uncertainty surrounding socio-ecological issues coexistence boar potential solutions, explores discusses nature flow information underlying specie’s management policies. Our approach based on field survey conducted Bordeaux Metropolis, aimed at tracking shared between local stakeholders. objectives twofold: i) to gather analyse existing data boar, problems generated their presence city, systems; ii) model flows social groups facing challenges or involved management. study points lack data, along confusion regarding key organisations responsible for monitoring issue. effectiveness policies depends ability frame problem, used as an instrument power actors engaged legitimacy struggles. Assuming that integration prerequisite freedom choices, we discuss implementation collaborative reporting platform, tailored context.Keywords: fauna, management, conflict, knowledge, network

A rapid assessment methodology for quantifying and visualizing functional landscape connectivity

Frontiers in Conservation Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 5

Published: July 4, 2024

The number of publications that evaluate or use landscape connectivity has grown dramatically in recent years. But the biological realism common assessments remains limited. To address this shortcoming, I introduce a flexible methodology for evaluating functional can be quick to implement, biologically nuanced, and straightforward interpret.

Spatiotemporal Changes in Ecological Quality and Its Response to Forest Landscape Connectivity—A Study from the Perspective of Landscape Structural and Functional Connectivity

Forests, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(7), P. 1248 - 1248

Published: July 18, 2024

Understanding the response of ecological quality (EQ) to forest landscape connectivity is essential global biodiversity conservation and national security. However, quantitatively measuring properties intensities within these relationships from a spatial heterogeneity perspective remains challenging. This study takes Fujian Delta region as its case study. The Google Earth Engine platform was employed compute remote sensing index (RSEI), metrics were applied represent structural landscape, minimum cumulative resistance model adopted measure cost distance representing functional landscape. Then, correlation between EQ analyzed based on autocorrelation geographical weighted regression at three scales (3, 4, 5 km). results showed following: (1) 2000 2020, overall increased, improving in 37.5% deteriorating 13.8% region; (2) small decreasing trend by 1.3% 0.9%, respectively; (3) eight change modes detected under conditions an or degrading RSEI connectivity; (4) that compared with index, had highest explanatory power different scales. effect greater than connectivity. It provides scientific reference for environmental monitoring decision-making managers.

Incorporating movement behavior into connectivity assessments

Research Square (Research Square), Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 20, 2024

Abstract Context The number of publications that evaluate or utilize landscape connectivity has grown dramatically in recent years. In contrast, the biological realism and defensibility common assessments advanced slowly. Objectives I introduce a flexible methodology for evaluating accounts potentially complex movement behavior nuanced species-landscape interactions. Methods Making use forested map, develop concepts mechanics behind my assessment tools. then describe case study involving Fender’s blue butterfly, this example to demonstrate character utility methods. Results My methods are able identify clusters connected resource patches, quantify visualize rates between these connectivity-related opportunities vulnerabilities. results include an emergent dispersal kernel captures influence on connectivity. Conclusions capable generating detailed yet practical analyses can incorporate considerable behavioral realism. approach is straightforward, simple implement, requisite data be modest. drawn using will help limitations developed circuit models.
