The natural complexity of ecological communities regularly lures ecologists to collect elaborate data sets in which confounding factors are often present. Although multiple regression is commonly used in such cases to test the individual... MH Graham - 《Soil Biology & Biochemistry》 被引量: 2942发表...

An elephant's trunk is so nimble, it can pick up a single blade of grass, and yet so strong, it can knock over a tree. Giraffes have eyelashes. Sloths hang from trees for days at a time without going to the bathroom. These are just some of the insights featured in Life-Size Zoo....
Several studies have evaluated how GDPvaries among species’ life-history traits (e.g. effect of lifespan18) or with biogeography (e.g. core vs. periphery effects10). However, these studies typically focus on one particular driver of GDP, or consider them independently, whereas variation in G...

First is his grasp of evolutionary biology. Despite the book’s organisation, he repeatedly reminds readers that just because animals such as sponges and corals are simpler in their organisation, they are not more primitive. The living members of these groups have been subjected to as much ...
12 Reconstructing Animal Phylogeny in the Light of Evolutionary Developmental BiologyThe relevance of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) in our effort to reconstruct the tree of life has until recently been very poorly explored. However, the contribution of an evo-devo approach to the m...
Depression is a complex mental health disorder that is difficult to study. A wide range of animal models exist and for many of these data on large-scale gene expression patterns in the CNS are available. The goal of this study was to evaluate how well an
December 21, 2023 | Plant + animal biology High-quality genomes for a biodiverse Christmas After last year’s humongous achievement of assembling the 100 Gb mistletoe genome, it is very exciting to see many more holiday associated species assembled by the Darwin Tree of Life… Read more Ju...
Added to this tree diversity are other plant types: shrubs, giant vines, herbs large and small, epiphytes (plants growing on other plants and not rooted in the ground), hemi-epiphytes (which begin life as epiphytes then extend roots to the ground), lichens, and mosses. With all these ...
