Ecologists from Clemson University took the opportunity to study how hurricanes affecttropical dry forestsin the Caribbean and whether trees were capable of compensating for the significant damage by increasing resource acquisition in newly produced leaves. For the study, the researchers examined the leave...
Instead, the take home from this article “would be that managers and other leaders should be like ecologists; who measure, observe and nurture their ecosystems. Doing so will help build a unique workplace that will yield great results.” Roles On the profiles, attitude, behaviors, and ...
field ecologists, experimentalists) who have practical knowledge about the system, and the modelers that are able to express this knowledge in mathematical terms. In addition, more exchange between the different fields of (ecological) modeling could facilitate model comparisons across the range of ...

We assessed the research work of the Argentine ecologists classifying the abstracts submitted to the XVII Reunion Argentina de Ecologia (1995) by areas of research, places of work, organisms environments, and methodological approaches. So as to state the scope of our results and conclusions precisely...
The biological scientists, in the variety of their disciplines, reflect the bewildering complexity of their field. The broader disciplines include, as a few examples, paleontologists, who study the history of life on earth; ecologists, who study systems of living organisms; botanists, who study com...
How do population ecologists quantitatively describe such a population? (Figure 1). Figure 1: Changes in a population of Paramecium over a six day period Each individual in the population divides once per day. The Exponential Equation is a Standard Model Describing the Growth of a Single ...
Ecologists Brian Walker, C S Holling and others describe four critical aspects of resilience:latitude, resistance, precariousness, and panarchy. The first three can apply both to a whole system or the sub-systems that make it up. How does diversity of species within an ecosystem influence the ...
As Palladino (1991) indicates, the status of ecology in the 1960 s was deeply affected by the rising public concern about problems that were usually dealt with theoretically by ecologists: “The rapid expansion of theoretical population ecology and systems ecology during the 1950 s and 1960 s [...
aIn 1983, a group of incipient landscape ecologists met to discuss the nature and future directions for landscape ecology. The themes emerging from this conference—movement of mate- rials, organisms, and energy through a landscape;the genesis of landscape patterns; the effects of landscape structure...
