Design for Temporal Cohabitation

Опубликована: Май 11, 2024

We propose the notion of Design for Temporal Cohabitation as a way to introduce critical agenda time in more-than-human and ecological design. Despite increased calls HCI researchers temporally attune other-than-human species, overall research still tends focus on spatial concerns, or follow assumptions that place human times different realms. To redirect discourse, we critique nature-culture hyperseparation temporalities invite consider what modes do humans how design can help. ask: What if dominant notions be designed imposed globally through practices capitalism colonialism? take responsibility ways which such affect therefore livelihoods other species? Could then redesigning them are more inclusive species world?

How urbanization affects sexual communication

Ecology and Evolution, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 11(24), С. 17625 - 17650

Опубликована: Дек. 1, 2021

Abstract Urbanization is rapidly altering landscapes worldwide, changing environmental conditions, and creating novel selection pressures for many organisms. Local conditions affect the expression evolution of sexual signals mating behaviors; changes in such traits have important evolutionary consequences because their effect on reproduction. In this review, we synthesize research investigating how communication affected by associated with urbanization—including pollution from noise, light, heavy metals, habitat fragmentation, impervious surfaces, urban heat islands, resources predation. often has negative effects through signal masking, condition‐dependent expression, weakening female preferences. Though there are documented instances seemingly adaptive shifts trait ultimate impact fitness rarely tested. The field still relatively young, most work tested whether differences occur response to various aspects urbanization. There limited information available about these responses represent phenotypic plasticity or genetic changes, extent which observed reproductive fitness. Our understanding operates novel, urbanized environments would be bolstered more studies that perform common garden reciprocal transplants, simultaneously evaluate multiple factors tease out causal drivers shifts. provides a unique testing ground biologists study interplay between ecology selection, suggest researchers take advantage natural experiments.

Efeito do ruído rodoviário no canto da choca-de-asa-vermelha (Thamnophilus Torquatus)

Programa de Iniciação Científica - PIC/UniCEUB - Relatórios de Pesquisa, Год журнала: 2023, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 10, 2023

Com o crescente avanço urbano, se faz necessário uso de linhas transporte para suprir a necessidade transportar pessoas e mercadorias pelo país. A presença humana sentir no meio natural pela expansão das rodovias, que trazem consigo fragmentação habitats, redução qualidade ambiental, níveis elevados mortalidade da fauna em colisões com veículos, poluição sonora. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar, por um estudo observacional, os impactos dos ruídos rodoviários na comunicação uma ave territorial, choca-de-asa-vermelha (Thamnophilus torquatus), investigando eles ocasionam mudanças nos parâmetros acústicos suas vocalizações as aves evitam áreas maiores ruído. foi realizado Estação Ecológica Águas Emendadas (ESECAE), localizada cerca 40km Brasília, região administrativa Planaltina. Os indivíduos foram capturado, marcados monitorados próximas distantes rodovias. localizados através busca ativa playbacks vocalizações. Além gravações vocalizações, monitoramento pressão acústica nas zonas habitadas espécie. Observou-se localizadas entorno ESECAE apresentam maior nível ruído são ocupadas número menor indivíduos, diferentemente interior ESECAE, baixa influência resultados observados sugerem urbano pode influenciar negativamente populações espécie, especialmente devido potenciais comportamentais seleção habitat intraespecífica

The country toad and the city toad: comparing morphology of invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) from rural and urban environments

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 137(3), С. 450 - 464

Опубликована: Авг. 24, 2022

Abstract Urbanization is a principal driver of global biodiversity loss. Although many studies have examined the impacts urbanization on biodiversity, we are only beginning to study as an evolutionary force. Urban environments hotspots for invasive species, but most previous focused phenotypic changes in native species responding urbanization. Quantifying responses may help reveal mechanisms promoting invasion. There are, however, few investigating response We compared morphological traits cane toads (Rhinella marina) between urban and rural areas three cities north-eastern Australia using generalized linear mixed models. found that parotoid glands, which major anti-predator defence were smaller than populations. The tibiofibula length males populations was longer those populations, females showed opposite trends, suggesting potential effects sexual dimorphism. These results demonstrate drives toads, they adapt rapidly.

Environmental Correlates of Sexual Signaling in the Heteroptera: A Prospective Study

Insects, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 12(12), С. 1079 - 1079

Опубликована: Ноя. 30, 2021

Sexual selection is a major evolutionary process, shaping organisms in terms of success competition for access to mates and their gametes. The study sexual has provided rich empirical theoretical literature addressing the ecological causes consequences However, there remains bias towards individual, species-specific studies, whilst broader, cross-species comparisons looking wider-ranging patterns remain uncommon. For instance, we are still some ways from understanding why particular kinds traits tend evolve under selection, what circumstances. Here consider Heteroptera, sub-order Hemiptera, or true bugs. latter largest hemimetabolous insect orders, Heteroptera itself comprises 40,000-plus described species. We focus on four key signaling modes found Heteroptera: chemical signals, acoustic via stridulation, vibrational (substrate) signaling, finally tactile (antennation). compare how these vary across broad habitat types provide review each type signal. ask might move more predictive theory that links mechanisms targets various ecologies.

Advertisement Call Variation of Two Frog Species along an Urban–Rural Gradient in Shanghai, China

Diversity, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 14(7), С. 550 - 550

Опубликована: Июль 8, 2022

Urbanization has a significant influence on amphibian communities, populations, and individuals because of habitat loss, degradation quality, fragmentation. Advertisement calls anurans are used for communication play an important role in reproduction; however, how anthropogenic noise change caused by urbanization affect anuran advertisement is less well known. In this study, we examined changes the two frog species, ornamented pygmy (Microhyla fissipes) rice (Fejervarya multistriata), during breeding season along urban–rural gradient Shanghai, China. We percentage impervious area (including buildings roads) each 2 km-radius landscape to represent index 34 study sites. then measured five call parameters (call duration, interval, rate, pulse dominant frequency) these species (100 males F. multistriata 89 M. site from May July 2020 2021. explored other variables (air temperature, snout–vent length calling situation (one calling, or together)) affected parameters. The results showed that frequency fissipes was significantly negatively related index, duration interval were air temperature; furthermore, rate positively also length. For multistriata, length, (two together), but contrast, suggested had different responses urbanization, which could help us better understand behaviors reproductive life-history strategies face rapid urbanization.

Опубликована: Июнь 2, 2023

Various factors, including the level of conservation natural areas, their degree isolation, intensity noise pollution, and presence domestic animals, among others, influence native species in remaining patches vegetation within urban areas. In this study, we evaluated diversity amphibians areas matrix Brasília, capital city Brazil. We examined variation richness its association with acoustic indices calculated for 20 sampling used commonly to characterize landscapes studied. Our results indicated that conserved had higher amphibian than altered same pattern held indices. found a significant correlation only between Normalized Difference Sound Index - NDSI. also ADI H highest values middle night, while BI ACI at beginning night. findings highlight importance maintaining despite reduction biodiversity levels as measured by Urban management actions require not preservation intact but control pollution affecting these aimed creating sustainable cities.
