Traditionally, community ecology tends to focus on patterns of species richness and community composition, while ecosystem ecology focuses on fluxes of energy and materials. Ecological networks (sometimes called food webs for trophic interactions), however, provide a quantitative framework to combine these...
Welcome to the Community Ecology and Conservation Group Website. Our research group is part of the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, a research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the Community Ecology and Conservation Group, our core research focuses on species community composition...
Dr. Mittelbach's research focuses on the evolution and maintenance of biodiversity, with research ranging from expe... (展开全部) 目录 ··· Contents 1: Community ecology's roots Part I. The Big Picture: patterns, causes, and consequences of biodiversity 2: Patterns of biological diversity...
Similarly, the researchers point out, the community ecology-based approach focuses on identifying key ways in which diseases can spread through larger populations. Parasites do not affect all individual hosts equally, and not all infected hosts spread disease as effectively as others. Previous research...
The article focuses on the Kibbutz Lotan efforts to improve the conditions of migratory songbirds in Israel. It mentions that the area is located along the flyway of migratory birds over the world. It notes that ...
Welcome to The Lau Lab at Indiana University. Research in the lab focuses on community ecology and evolutionary ecology. We study how plant populations respond to human-caused environmental change, the ecology and evolution of species interactions, and natural selection in the wild. ...
so we should interpret the phenomenon of urban agglomerations from ecology point of view.Firstly,this paper narrate the interaction mode between different cities at each economy period,and point out biotic community characteristic of urban agglomerations in new economy period,then define the conception ...
A major group of frontier topics that emerged focuses on the drivers of ecosystem change. Classical thinking about drivers emphasized slow and steady change, linear processes, and systems composed of sets of processes changing at similar time scales. Ecosystem ecology is undergoing a significant reeva...
This chapter focuses on the relationship between community diversity and community stability. Because perspectives on this topic have changed dramatically over the last 50 years, this provides a good topic to investigate if paradigm shifts have occurred in theoretical community ecology. A brief history ...
The article focuses on sustainable development within urban centers. Topics include the challenges of sustainable development, the concept of biomimicry, and the use of permeable landscapes. Information is provided on urban greening, which reduces the urban environmental footprint while adding aesthetic va...
