SGER: Animal Landscapes

动物与当地环境的相互作用决定了它们的繁殖成功和生存。 通过观察气候、地形和植被如何与动物的物理特性相互作用，包括它的代谢率和热量的获得和损失，可以建立一个基本的模型。 目前的模型使用全球气候数据、数字高程图、植被图和动物特性来计算可用的小气候、动物能量学、行为、活动模式、食物网结构、群落结构以及食源性病原体和农药暴露的可能性。新的工作将通过提供图形用户界面和网络可访问性来扩展模型的可用性，该模型可以应用于从濒危物种迁移环境的适宜性到气候变化对动物种群动态的影响以及杀虫剂喷洒或森林烧毁或其他环境影响的广泛问题。管理活动。 知情决策得到改善，广泛的合作者和学生帮助推广使用

Animals interact with their local environment in ways that determine their reproductive success and survival. By looking at how climate, topography, and vegetation interact with the physical properties of the animal, including its metabolic rate and heat gain and loss, a basic model can be developed. The current model uses global climate data, digital elevation maps, vegetation maps and animal properties to calculate available microclimates, animal energetics, behavior, activity patterns, food web structure, community structure and potential for and food-borne pathogen and pesticide exposure. New work will extend the model's availability by providing a graphical user interface and web accessibility, as well as by extending the database of information on animal reflectivity and morphology.The model can be applied to a wide range of questions from the appropriateness of environments for relocating endangered species to the impact of climate change on animal population dynamics and environmental impacts of pesticide spraying or forest burns or other management activities. Informed decision making is improved and a wide range of collaborators and students help to spread the use of the
