As we mentioned above, Triticeae taxonomy was first established on the basis of morphology, phytogeography and ecology before the era of experimental sciences. Nevertheless, morphological taxonomy can only serve as the first step to approach a taxon. The preliminary morphological taxonomy has to be ...
to function as a bridge between ecology and economy (Chan et al., 2012a). As such, the use of the ES concept is seen as a tool for internalising the value of ecosystems into essential decisions (Chan et al., 2012a, Daily et al., 2009), designing policies that take account of ...
Chapter 14 Functional Biodiversity and the Concept of Ecological Function Antoine C. Dussault Abstract This chapter argues that the common claim that the ascription of ecologi- cal functions to organisms in functional ecology raises issues about levels of natural selection is ill-...
Specifically, I argue (1) that functional ecology conceives ecological functions as context-based rather than history-based properties of organisms; (2) that it attributes to the ecological function concept the aim of explaining ecosystem processes rather than that of explaining the presence of ...

However, when con- templating the typical traits of psychrophiles, clearly temperature is not the only factor that controls their existence. As with all environmental systems, the abundance of individual taxa and the ecology of the system is determined by the lifestyle (for example, trophism)...
This paper traces the conceptualisations and origins of the Circular Economy, tracing its meanings, and exploring its antecedents in economics and ecology, and discusses how the Circular Economy has been operationalized in business and policy. The paper finds that while the Circular Economy places ...
