Predator-Prey Interactions

Predator-Prey Interactions

Predators consume prey for energy. Predators that acquire prey and prey that avoid predation both increase their chances of survival and reproduction (i.e., fitness). Routine predator-prey interactions elicit mutual adaptations that improve predator offenses, such as claws, teeth, and speed, as well as prey defenses, including crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry. Thus, predator-prey interactions resemble an evolutionary arms race.

Decision Making: Traditional Method

Decision Making: Traditional Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Threats to Biodiversity

Threats to Biodiversity

There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Decision Making: P-value Method

Decision Making: P-value Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Optimal Foraging

Optimal Foraging

How animals obtain and eat their food is called foraging behavior. Foraging can include searching for plants and hunting for prey and depends on the species and environment.

Social Traps

Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Area of Science:

Library and Information Science
Scholarly Communication
Academic Integrity

Background:

Predatory publishing tactics are prevalent but librarians' approaches to these deceptive practices are under-documented.
Existing literature highlights a need for accessible, user-friendly decision-making tools for librarians.
Academic librarians require support in navigating the complexities of scholarly publishing integrity.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the gap in decision-making resources for librarians facing predatory publishing.
To introduce the Scholarly Tools Opposing Predatory Practices (STOPP) as a practical solution.
To empower librarians with tools for evaluating journals, websites, conferences, and thesis converters.

Main Methods:

Literature review to identify needs and existing gaps in librarian resources.
Development of the Scholarly Tools Opposing Predatory Practices (STOPP) framework.
Focus on creating adaptable tools for appraising various scholarly communication elements.

Main Results:

Identification of a critical need for standardized decision-making tools for librarians.
Creation of the STOPP toolkit designed for practical application.
Development of resources applicable across different academic disciplines.

Conclusions:

The STOPP toolkit provides essential support for librarians in combating predatory publishing.
These tools enhance librarians' ability to make informed decisions regarding scholarly resources.
The STOPP framework is designed for adaptability to evolving predatory publishing schemes.
