About: Hydra effect

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The hydra effect or hydra paradox owes its name to the Greek legend of the Lernaean Hydra which grew two heads for each one cut off, and is used figuratively for counter-intuitive effects of actions to reduce a problem which result in stimulating its multiplication. Most notably, scientists have proposed that ecological systems can exhibit a hydra effect when "a higher death rate in a particular species ultimately increases the size of its population". The hypothesis is suggested to have implications for the eradication of pests, and resource management. There are also said to be indications that reducing the death rate can shrink a population.

  • The hydra effect or hydra paradox owes its name to the Greek legend of the Lernaean Hydra which grew two heads for each one cut off, and is used figuratively for counter-intuitive effects of actions to reduce a problem which result in stimulating its multiplication. Most notably, scientists have proposed that ecological systems can exhibit a hydra effect when "a higher death rate in a particular species ultimately increases the size of its population". The hypothesis is suggested to have implications for the eradication of pests, and resource management. There are also said to be indications that reducing the death rate can shrink a population. The hydra effect has also been used about negative outcomes when shutting down torrent sites which come back in more incarnations, and is cited by those opposing the war on drugs and targeted killing as counter-productive effects. In 2016 the site Torrentz shut down its operations without further information for the cause of the shut-down. However, within two weeks, there were 3 torrent sites that were built as replacements for Torrentz, which stands as a perfect example of the hydra effect. Similarly, after the torrent website The Pirate Bay was shut down in December 2014, it reincarnated with hundreds of copies within a week. (en)
  • Efek hydra atau paradoks hydra berasal dari legenda Yunani yang bisa menumbuhkan dua kepala untuk masing-masing kepala yang dipotong. Frasa ini digunakan secara kiasan untuk menggambarkan efek kontra-intuitif dari tindakan penyelesaian masalah yang justru menghasilkan sejumlah masalah baru beberapa kali lipat dari masalah aslinya. Kiasan juga banyak dalam ekologi, sebuah sistem ekologi dapat menunjukkan efek hydra ketika "tingkat kematian yang lebih tinggi pada spesies tertentu pada akhirnya justru meningkatkan ukuran populasinya". Hipotesis tersebut diduga berimplikasi pada pemberantasan hama, dan pengelolaan sumber daya. Ada juga indikasi bahwa penurunan angka kematian justru dapat mengecilkan populasi. Efek hydra juga telah digunakan untuk menyebut efek negatif saat menutup situs torrent yang akan muncul dalam inkarnasi lebih banyak. Peristiwa penutupan torrent ini juga banyak dikutip oleh mereka yang menentang perang melawan narkoba dan pembunuhan tertarget sebagai efek kontra-produktif. Pada tahun 2016 situs menutup operasinya tanpa informasi lebih lanjut mengenai penyebab penutupan tersebut. Namun, dalam dua minggu, ada 3 situs torrent telah dibangun sebagai pengganti Torrentz, hal ini merupakan contoh sempurna dari efek hydra. Demikian pula, setelah situs torrent The Pirate Bay ditutup pada Desember 2014, situs tersebut bereinkarnasi dengan ratusan salinan hanya dalam waktu seminggu. (in)
