Morphogenesis of Fractofusus andersoni and the nature of early animal development Rangeomorphs are some of the oldest complex macroscopic fossil organisms. Here, the authors describe a population of rangeomorphs with two, spindle-shaped fronds from Mistaken Point, Newfoundland, modeling their growth ...

Movement is central to understanding the ecology of animals. The most robustly definable segments of an individual’s lifetime track are its diel activity routines (DARs). This robustness is due to fixed start and end points set by a 24-h clock that depe

This textbook of animal ecology is based on earlier publications by the author dealing with autecology, population ecology and synecology, and major portions of the book are devoted to these aspects of the subject. An introductory section is devoted to the nature of ecology and to types of hab...
Community Ecology, established by the merger of two ecological periodicals, Coenoses and Abstracta Botanica was launched in an effort to create a common global forum for community ecologists dealing with plant, animal and/or microbial communities from terrestrial, marine or freshwater systems.

An interesting aspect of CAM distribution is the high number of CAM species found in tropical environments. Epiphytes are plants that do not have their roots in the ground but instead grow on other plants (primarily trees). Thus, they frequently lack a ready supply of liquid water. Many epip...
