Local communities' access to low value FPA resources improved during the post-colonial period but access to high value resources like commercial timber as well as sharing income benefits derived from FPA commercial activities remained a pipe dream.
For instance, increased interspecific competition can result in reduced foraging success of the affected individuals, increased time spent on vigilance, displacement to less high value resources and ultimately result in nonlethal fitness consequences with the potential to indirectly affect population level changes (Cresswell 2008).
While contestants might be expected to compete more intensively for a higher value resource [ 2], the value that each contestant places on a given resource may be different [ 2, 3]: there are thus objective and subjective components to RV. Objective aspects are properties intrinsic to the resource, which can be detected by the evaluator and will yield a certain fitness gain if obtained [ 4, 5].
By creating a market for ecosystem services, strategies such as payments for ecosystem services (PES) supposedly enable local people to generate more income from harvesting fewer higher value resources than more extensive or destructive modes of production (Pagiola et al. 2005).
Oil has become a high-value resource, where, increasingly, specialist solutions are needed in both extraction and processing.
Pass SB 1096 and protect this high-value resource from short-term profiteers once and for all.
In much of the taiga only wildland fires that threaten high-value resources are actively suppressed.
Thus, the vocalizations that typically follow weaning are considered a reliable signal of the emotional and physiological condition of the calf because the energy cost and high risk of attracting predators can be compensated by the high-value resources provided by the dam [ 13, 85].
In general, agonism is expected primarily in association with high-value resources that due to their size, depletion time, and spatiotemporal distribution can be monopolized by a subset of individuals to the exclusion of others (Wrangham 1980; van Schaik 1989; Sterck et al. 1997; Isbell and Young 2002).
We tried in bringing the prospect of achievable, root-derived phytoceuticals in higher concentration and commercial cultivation of P. kurroa as a step closer to stop indiscrimnate industrial exploitation of such high value plant resources.
