We conclude that the evolutionary species pool concept did not explain patterns of species' occurrences, and for two reasons, the concept is not reliable as a general rule of thumb: (1) what constitute habitats harbouring different species communities can only be understood from habitat-specific ...
When considering phenotypic plasticity, is it possible for different environmental cues to produce the same favorable phenotype? If not, explain why. If so, explain and give at least one example. How does the biological species concept ...
The relationship between plant productivity and species richness is one of the most debated and important issues in ecology. Ecologists have found numerous forms of this relationship and its underlying processes. However, theories and proposed drivers ha
What is the biological function of meiosis? What are the locations in which it occurs? Describe mitosis and meiosis and how they differ. Define cell reproduction, meiosis, and mitosis. How does meiosis generate genetic diversity? What would happen if meiosis did not occur? Why is meiosis import...
Define the term diffusion. Your definition should be in relation to physiology. Define or describe the following biological term: Microscope. Define the term "biodiversity" and use it in a sentence to demonstrate how it applies to ecology. In the context of Biology, define the following term: ...
Anatomical differences of the TMJ between primates and carnivores Several hypotheses have been discussed to explain the biological significance of the resiliency and the translating abilities of the primate TMJs, that results in the anteroposterior and superoinferior dispositions of the axis of rotation ...
Describe how the human disruption of the carbon cycle has caused ocean acidification. What are three ways in which humans affect the carbon cycle? What are the biological impacts of these actions? Explain. How do carbon emissions cause ecological damage to the Earth?
Moreover, the biological signif- icance of the sole performance-plasticity correlation (for SMR) is called into question, first by the existence of an influential outlier whose removal decreased its statistical significance, and second by the fact that SMR trait values themsel...
Thompson said the concept of a love song — and by extension, a breakup song — may be written into our genes.Birdsare known to serenade potential mates, whilemice,humpback whalesand other species use vocalizations to attract their partners. ...
Sound symbolism, the surprising semantic relationship between meaningless pseudowords (e.g., ‘maluma’, ‘takete’) and abstract (round vs. sharp) shapes, is a hitherto unexplained human-specific knowledge domain. Here we explore whether abstract sound
