通过将生态学理论与免费可用的谷歌地球卫星图像联系起来,可以远程观察捕食者和猎物之间行为相互作用的景观足迹。谷歌地球对澳大利亚大堡礁内苍鹭岛的泻湖栖息地进行的图像调查显示,斑块珊瑚礁周围的藻床中有明显的光晕图案。地面实况调查证实,正如预测的那样,藻类树冠的高度随着距离珊瑚礁边缘的距离而增加。随后的放牧试验表明,食草动物的放牧是造成这种模式的原因。结合最近的行为生态学研究,这些发现表明,草食动物的集体反捕食者行为模式可以在从太空中清晰可见的尺度上塑造植被分布。通过使用特定地点随时间推移的谷歌地球连续图像,这项技术有可能实现对捕食者迁徙(例如捕鱼、狩猎)和/或恢复和重新引入(例如海洋或陆地保护区)的级联、间接影响的快速、廉价的远程监测。
By linking ecological theory with freely-available Google Earth satellite imagery, landscape-scale footprints of behavioural interactions between predators and prey can be observed remotely. A Google Earth image survey of the lagoon habitat at Heron Island within Australia's Great Barrier Reef revealed distinct halo patterns within algal beds surrounding patch reefs. Ground truth surveys confirmed that, as predicted, algal canopy height increases with distance from reef edges. A grazing assay subsequently demonstrated that herbivore grazing was responsible for this pattern. In conjunction with recent behavioural ecology studies, these findings demonstrate that herbivores' collective antipredator behavioural patterns can shape vegetation distributions on a scale clearly visible from space. By using sequential Google Earth images of specific locations over time, this technique could potentially allow rapid, inexpensive remote monitoring of cascading, indirect effects of predator removals (e.g., fishing; hunting) and/or recovery and reintroductions (e.g., marine or terrestrial reserves) nearly anywhere on earth.
