“…Previous studies also showed that capture rates of Eliurus spp. declined significantly with declining fragment size in western and southeastern Madagascar (Ganzhorn, 2003;Ramanamanjato & Ganzhorn, 2001). Burke and Lehman (2014) found that M. ravelobensis was trapped in even higher numbers near habitat edges (5-50-m distance from edge) compared to the interior of another continuous forest in ANP.…”

Habitat loss and fragmentation are major ecological forces threatening animal communities across the globe. These issues are especially true in Madagascar, where forest loss is ongoing. We examined the effects of forest fragmentation on the distribution and abundance of sympatric, endemic gray, and golden-brown mouse lemurs (Microcebus murinus and Microcebus ravelobensis), the endemic western tufttailed rat (Eliurus myoxinus), and the invasive black rat (Rattus rattus) in two regions in northwestern Madagascar. We used systematic capture procedures in 40 forest fragments and four continuous forest sites which differed in size, shape, and degree of isolation. With a trapping effort of 11,567 trap nights during two dry seasons (2017-2018), we captured 929 individuals (432 M. ravelobensis, 196 M. murinus, 116 E. myoxinus, and 185 R. rattus). We examined the influence of study region, forest type (fragment vs. continuous), forest size, forest shape, the proportion of 50-m forest edge and distance to continuous forest on the abundance and interaction of the four species. Responses to fragmentation differed strongly between species, but no interaction could be detected between the abundance of the different species. Thus competition within and between native and invasive species may not be regulating abundances in these regions. On the contrary, the abundance of M. ravelobensis and E. myoxinus differed significantly between study regions and was negatively affected by fragmentation. In contrast, there was no evidence of an impact of fragmentation on the abundance of M. murinus. Finally, the invasive R. rattus responded positively to the increasing distance to the continuous forest. In conclusion, the response of small Malagasy mammals to forest fragmentation varies largely between species, and fragmentation effects need to be examined at a species-specific level to fully understand their ecological dynamics and complexity.

Diagramming Multi-Level Service-Oriented Enterprise Architecture

Today's enterprise architecture should incorporate high-level enterprise services that are considered as wrappers of business processes and ICT capabilities. This service-oriented enterprise model consists of a large number of model elements capturing various aspects of the enterprise in question, making any attempt to browse it too cumbersome. Enterprise architecture modeling, therefore, often resorts to a multi-view representation where views are focused and scoped. We define a visual modeling language and develop a supporting tool called SeamCAD that together lay the foundation for further multi-level enterprise modeling techniques. This article is dedicated to our tool realizing a notation schema and reinforcing a distinctive diagramming layout designed to visually capture the hierarchical containment in enterprise models. We demonstrate our real-life EA applications that were constructed thanks to SeamCAD. We report users' feedback on SeamCAD.

“…From SUDDEN models (1) we developed a set of candidate visual languages using a set of principled approaches (2). We gained user feedback on candidate VLs (3) and then developed a set of meta-models in our Marama visual modelling meta-tool [8] to describe the VL elements and underlying SUDDEN constructs (4). We then developed a visual modelling tool using the Marama metatool, MaramaSUDDEN, including support for import and export of simulated supply chain specifications to a shared semantic web-based ontology (5).…”

“…A key challenge is to make these constructs and models based on them tractable for SME end users. One solution is to provide a suitable domain-specific visual modelling language (DSVL), extracting a simplified view of the underlying meta-model customised to the skills profile of our target end users; and developing an appropriate suite of support tools to assist them [3,4].…”

Abstract-Supply chain modelling and simulation by SMEs (Small-to-Medium Enterprises) is a challenging problem. This is due both to complexity of the supply chain models required and the lack of required expertise among the SMEs. The problem is important since SMEs need to represent and modify their evolving skills and processes to be visible in electronic marketplaces and supply chain design platforms. We demonstrate how this problem can be addressed by developing a suite of novel domain-specific visual languages and a support tool. The challenging setup of our research context motivated us to trial a new approach for the design of our visual languages and to employ a collaborative development process across our distributed research team.
