    Abstract: This book focuses on eco-evaluation system monitoring and sensing, carbon-water modeling, mapping, and disaster prediction. It is the 3rd book on tropical peatland issues, following 1st "Tropical Peatland Ecosystem" and 2nd "Tropical Peatland Eco-management" publications. Tropical peatland is also a wetland, mangrove, and rainforest. With this nature, two major key elements of tropical peatland are water and forest. This book introduces the relationship and interaction among water, oxygen, and nutrients as well as aspects of the forest as the driving force of carbon stock and the carbon cycle. Eco-evaluation system is key to conserving, managing, and restoring tropical peatlands, however comprehensive system for Eco-evaluation in the Tropics is not yet established. This book reviews and proposes Eco-evaluation methods in the Tropics Ecosystem, focusing mainly on the peatland ecosystem and others, covering Social Capital such as Credit, Bonds, National Accounting, etc. .

    Abstract: In this "Tropical Peatland Eco-management" book, eco-management is new terminology as an abbreviation of "ecology-based management for natural capital enhancement". Key concept on this eco-management is derived from previous book: "Tropical Peatland Ecosystem"(Springer, 2015, eds. by M. Osaki and N. Tsuji). Based on this new concept, this book thoroughly examines tropical peatland eco-management for scientists, political decision makers, governmental officials, land managers, students, and NGO/NPOs who are interested in 1) what the impact of peatland on climate change and ecosystem function, 2) how the management of disturbed peatland, and 3) drawing global scale restoration mechanisms of peatland and wetland. In tropical peatland, a large amount of GHGs (carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide) is emitted due to the unappropriate development and inadequate management of peatland. The peatland ecosystems consist of the carbon–water complex, which is affected easily by the impact of human and climate change. Throughout much research of tropical peatland, the problems that result from development of tropical peatland are found to stem mainly from a lack of understanding of the complexities of this ecosystem and the fragility of the relationship between peat and forest and also between carbon and water. In past, almost all peatland development and management system have been generally designed on “water drainage system”. On the contrast of old system, an innovated eco- management is, here, proposed as “water irrigation system”, including water cycling and natural capital enhancement. Through this book readers will learn the advanced peatland eco-management, with more practical methods and procedure based on ecosystem knowledge. .

    Indices of reproductive skew depend on average reproductive success (1998)
    Springer
    Evolutionary ecology 12 (1998), S. 141-152 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-8477
    Keywords: average reproductive success ; Morisita's index ; reproductive skew ; sampling error ; special dispersion index
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Several indices of reproductive skew, which quantify the degree of unequal partitioning of reproductive output among members in an animal society, have been proposed. Here we point out the drawbacks of these indices. The most serious problem is the dependence of the indices on mean reproductive success: skew values tend to be larger, as average numbers of offspring decrease, due to random sampling error in numbers of offspring. Thus it is difficult to compare societies with different average lifetime reproductive success using these indices, even though we have presented methods to calculate the expected reproductive skew caused by random sampling error, especially when average numbers of offspring are small, as is often the case with cooperatively breeding vertebrates. As an alternative, we propose using the spatial dispersion indices of population ecology (Morisita's index or its standardized version) for the measurement of reproductive skew. These indices are almost independent of average fecundity and have their own method of testing for random variation in offspring numbers.

    A mathematical model for wing dimorphism in maleCardiocondyla ants (1994)
    Springer
    Journal of ethology 12 (1994), S. 19-24 
    Details
    ISSN: 1439-5444
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Several species ofCardiocondyla ants have dimorphic males: wingless (ergatoid) and winged (alate) males, while otherCardiocondyla species includingC. nuda have only wingless males. We made an evolutionarily stable strategy model for explaning the male polymorphism and the ratios of wingless males in the genusCardiocondyla. Wingless males emerge earlier than winged males in each reproductive season. Females (F 1) which have emerged before winged males copulate only with wingless males, and females (F 2) which emerge after winged males copulate with both wingless and winged males. Wingless males have a lower copulation ability (b n) than winged males (b w). The reproductive success of females which copulate at the early stage (v 1) is assumed to be larger than that of females which copulate at the late stage (v 2). The model predicts that there are 3 different evolutionarily stable states: 2 monomorphic states of wingless and winged males, and a dimorphism of the 2 types of males. In the dimorphic state, the rate of wingless males increases as the survival rate of wingless males (s) increases,v 1/v 2 increases,F 1/F 2 increases andb n/b w increases. For dimorphism to exist,s b n/b w〈1 must be satisfied, and this condition corresponds to the value of observed data. The value ofv 1/v 2 would be difficult to be obtained by actual data, but we can estimate this value with the model.

    Optimal strategy of plant antiherbivore defense: Implications for apparency and resource-availability theories (1995)
    Springer
    Ecological research 10 (1995), S. 19-30 
    Details
    ISSN: 1440-1703
    Keywords: antiherbivory ; apparency ; maximum principle ; plant defense ; resource-availability

    Notes: Abstract Plants produce chemicals as methods against animal herbivory. Such chemical defenses are classified into two major categories: (i) quantitative defenses with massive production of indigestible substances; and (ii) qualitative defenses with production of poisonous substances. A mathematical model was developed that identified factors that favored the evolution of quantitative defenses. Selecting an annual plant for simplicity, the allocation of photosynthetic production between growth substances and defense substances was considered. If the plant invests more in defense substances, it can protect itself more efficiently from herbivory but with a reduced growth rate. If it invests more in growth substances, the contrary holds. Using Pontoryagin's maximum principle, the following results were obtained: (i) the plant should conduct quantitative defenses when the growth rate (G), reflecting resource-availability, is low and the growth period (T) is long as well; (ii) if the plant invests in quantitative defenses, the optimal proportion of defense substances (χ*) should be higher asG is smaller, but it is independent ofT; and (iii) the value of χ* is not monotone for the effectiveness of defense substance (A), but has a maximum at an intermediate value ofA. Predictions of the model partly supported both Feeny's apparency theory, claiming that apparent plants or their parts for herbivores should quantitatively defend themselves, and Coley's resource-availability theory, claiming that plants with rich resources should invest in growth rather than defense.
