多尺度分割与特征优选下的盐碱地提取

土地盐渍化作为一种土壤灾害,严重制约着社会经济与农业的发展。对盐碱地进行实时监测,可为盐碱地的评价改良提供科学依据。由于盐碱地的信息复杂、提取精度不高,因此本文以高分六号（GF-6）卫星遥感影像为数据源,采用分形网络演化算法（fractal net evolution approach,FNEA）进行影像对象的多尺度分割,从面向对象的角度减少高分影像分类结果中的椒盐噪声问题,通过计算图像对象的局部方差和变化率来确定适宜的盐碱地分割尺度。利用基于特征选择的相关性算法（correlations-based feature selection,CFS）与Relief F算法分别对由光谱、纹理、形状、遥感指数构成的初始特征空间进行特征优选,精简特征子集,解决特征数量冗余问题,以此来优化随机森林对盐碱地提取精度。结果表明：CFS约简后的特征子集更小,精度更高,说明在盐碱地提取过程中,筛选特征数目能够减小冗余数据对提取精度的影响。CFS优化后的随机森林对盐碱地的提取效果较好,该方法总体分类精度达到83.7%。

Autotomy shapes the trade-off between seeking cover and foraging in larval damselflies

Animals commonly choose between microhabitats that differ in foraging return and mortality hazard. I studied the influence of autotomy, the amputation of a body part, on the way larvae of the damselfly Lestes sponsa deal with the trade-off between foraging or seeking cover. Survival of Lestes larvae when confronted with the odonate predator Aeshna cyanea was higher in a complex than in a simple microhabitat, indicating that this more complex microhabitat was safer. Within the simple microhabitat, larvae without lamellae had a higher risk for mortality by predation than larvae with lamellae, showing a long-term cost of autotomy. When varying the foraging value (food present or absent) and predation risk (encaged predator or no predator) in the simple microhabitat, larvae with and without lamellae responded differentially to the imposed trade-off. All larvae spent more time in the simple microhabitat when food was present than when food was absent. Larvae without lamellae, however, only sporadically left the safe microhabitat, irrespective of the presence of the predator. In contrast, larvae with lamellae shifted more frequently towards the risky microhabitat than those without lamellae, and more often in the absence than in the presence of the predator. These decisions affected the foraging rates of the animals. I show for the first time that refuge use is higher after autotomy and that this is associated with the cost of reduced foraging success. The different microhabitat preferences for larvae with and without lamellae are consistent with their different vulnerabilities to predation and demonstrate the importance of intrinsic factors in establishing trade-offs.

Mapping Human and Social Dimensions of Conservation Opportunity for the Scheduling of Conservation Action on Private Land

Abstract Spatial prioritization techniques are applied in conservation‐planning initiatives to allocate conservation resources. Although typically they are based on ecological data (e.g., species, habitats, ecological processes), increasingly they also include nonecological data, mostly on the vulnerability of valued features and economic costs of implementation. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of conservation actions implemented through conservation‐planning initiatives is a function of the human and social dimensions of social‐ecological systems, such as stakeholders’ willingness and capacity to participate. We assessed human and social factors hypothesized to define opportunities for implementing effective conservation action by individual land managers (those responsible for making day‐to‐day decisions on land use) and mapped these to schedule implementation of a private land conservation program. We surveyed 48 land managers who owned 301 land parcels in the Makana Municipality of the Eastern Cape province in South Africa. Psychometric statistical and cluster analyses were applied to the interview data so as to map human and social factors of conservation opportunity across a landscape of regional conservation importance. Four groups of landowners were identified, in rank order, for a phased implementation process. Furthermore, using psychometric statistical techniques, we reduced the number of interview questions from 165 to 45, which is a preliminary step toward developing surrogates for human and social factors that can be developed rapidly and complemented with measures of conservation value, vulnerability, and economic cost to more‐effectively schedule conservation actions. This work provides conservation and land management professionals direction on where and how implementation of local‐scale conservation should be undertaken to ensure it is feasible.     

Beyond savanna: An evolutionary and environmental psychology approach to behavioral effects of nature scenery in green advertising

Evolutionary psychology has been proposed as an analytic framework for the behavioral effects of landscapes displayed in advertising. In this study, an evolutionary and environmental psychology approach is used to analyze affective reactions to advertising depicting specific natural environments or urban scenes, both prominent ingredients of contemporary advertising imagery. The experimental field study exposed 750 participants at random to one advert of a set of 13 experimental green energy advertisements, each displaying a different biome. Six basic emotional responses (pleasure, arousal, happiness, freedom, safety, and interest) as well as attitude toward the ad and brand attitude were assessed subsequently. Anova and structural equation analysis were used for data analysis. Results of the study confirm the leading opinion on generalized more positive behavioral effects toward visual stimuli representing nature scenes with biospheric contents as opposed to pictures of urban environments or desert settings. In line with earlier empirical research, further findings do not support the hypothesis on an innate preference for savanna landscapes in adults but confirm preferences for images of lush green landscapes with water and familiar biomes. Overall results give significant support to the application of environmental and evolutionary psychology to advertising.     

Characteristics that influence male reproductive success on a lek of Lethrinops c.f. parvidens (Teleostei: Cichlidae)

Sexual selection has long been proposed as a mechanism leading to the diverse cichlid (Teleostei: Cichlidae) fauna of Lake Malawi, Africa. Many of the shallow-water, sand-dwelling, bower-building cichlid species are particularly well suited for studies of sexual selection because they participate in leks. Since females in lekking systems appear to acquire only genetic material from their mates, it has been suggested that leks are ideal systems to study female mate choice. The objectives of the investigation were to examine Lethrinops c.f. parvidens male bower characteristics (i.e., bower size and location) as well as other male characteristics (i.e., length, gular color, and duration on the lek) for their influence on male mating success as measured by the number of visits, circles, and eggs laid by females. These measures are nested in that a visit by a female may or may not lead to circling, and circling by a female may or may not lead to egg-laying. We found increased bower height and higher numbers of conspecific neighbors (analogous to shallow-water, near-shore bower positions) to be positively, significantly associated with the number of visits by females. The only significant correlate with the number of circles was visits, and similarly circles was the only significant correlate with the number of eggs laid. The R ² value for the egg-laying regression was quite low (19.8%) compared with visits (54.3%) and circling (78.9%), suggesting that females may be using additional cues, that we failed to measure, when in close proximity to males or simply that a small proportion of the females were ready to spawn. Both indirect selection and direct selection pressure due to egg predation may have influenced female choice on the lek.

Ectoparasites of house sparrows (Passer domesticus): an experimental test of the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis and a new model

Conspicuous secondary sexual traits may have evolved as handicap-revealing signals or as badges of status. We present results of an experiment using males of the sexually dimorphic house sparrow (Passer domesticus), that support the idea that the male-specific bib can be both a handicap-revealing signal and a reliable badge indicating the physical condition of the bird. In a test of the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis, wild-caught adult male house sparrows were studied in captivity. Birds implanted with elevated doses of testosterone were more dominant, had higher circulating levels of both testosterone and corticosterone and they also harboured relatively larger ectoparasite loads. Higher parasite loads were also associated with individuals showing lower immunocompetence and larger changes in bib size. A new model for immunocompetence effects in sexual selection is introduced, integrating actions that the hypothalamopituitary axis exerts on gonads, adrenals and the thyroid gland. The ”integrated immunocompetence model” synthesizes both the ”handicap” (i.e. survival-decreasing) and ”badge of status” (i.e. survival- enhancing) models for evolution of secondary sexual traits.
