9260109 Akcakaya The main goal of this project is to produce software that will combine a geographic information system (GIS), which analyzes and predicts changes in the structure of a species' habitat, with a population model that estimates the extinction risk of the species that utilizes the habitat. The software will enable realistic estimates for the purposes of environmental impact assessment and conservation biology activities. Examples of areas where such estimates are important include assessment of the impact of human activities, such as forestry practices, road building, agricultural expansion, and dam construction, on the fate of endangered and threatened species; optimum design of nature reserves (the selection of habitats that will maximize the survival chance of a particular species); and the optimal choice of wildlife management practices (such as reintroductions and translocations). The research will involve development of algorithms to produce, export and interpret habitat maps, programs to predict future suitability of habitats for particular species due to changes in land-use patterns, and software for building population models for species that live in multiple patches that change through time, such as in fragmented habitats. ***

小行星9260109 该项目的主要目标是制作软件，将分析和预测物种栖息地结构变化的地理信息系统（GIS）与估计利用栖息地的物种灭绝风险的种群模型相联合收割机。 该软件将能够为环境影响评估和养护生物学活动作出切合实际的估计。 这种估计很重要的领域包括评估人类活动的影响，如林业做法、道路建设、农业扩张和水坝建设，对濒危和受威胁物种的命运的影响;自然保护区的最佳设计，（选择能最大限度地提高某一物种生存机会的生境）;以及野生动物管理实践的最佳选择（如重新引入和易位）。 该研究将涉及算法的开发，以产生，出口和解释栖息地地图，程序，以预测未来的栖息地适合特定物种由于土地利用模式的变化，和软件，用于建立种群模型的物种生活在多个补丁，随着时间的推移而变化，如在破碎的栖息地。 ***
