Special attention is given to predicting the effect of changing the mean and variance of resource distribution over patches in a habitat.
It has been variously suggested that home range size and configuration of large carnivores is influenced by patterns of resource distribution [7], [37], and by social effects [19].
But we'd need better methods of resource distribution and laws that ensure equality among people.
This paper addresses the effect of uneven resource distributions across the landscape in sedentary societies, specifically the Late to Terminal Classic Maya (670 890 CE), through a case study of chert resources from the Mopan Valley, Belize.
In Croft et al. (2012), an idealized 1D model of plant growth, root proliferation, resource capture and inter-plant competition was developed and shown to match SDE representations; this model was used to study the effects of spatial heterogeneity in resource distribution on the evolutionarily optimal root proliferation strategy in monocultures.
The analysis of the residence time by Cox's proportional hazard model [34] [36] (see the "Materials and Methods" section) supported our previous results: opening a filled chest decreased this tendency regardless of the resource distribution (Table 2; the effect of the resource distribution – not shown – was not significant).
Objective resource uncertainty was implemented as the variance of the resource distribution that is used to determine the new amounts of resources of the agents.
But these issues are often eclipsed by issues of poverty, resource distribution, and inequality (Pogge 1992).
The results underline the fact that the effects of growth strategy, competition and resource distribution on individuals, populations and communities are intrinsically interlinked.
No.201225101: The study of fairness in medical resource distribution.
Scaling exponents describe the distribution and magnitude of change in patch size, and may indicate the effect of fire on ecological processes including succession and resource distribution.
