The broadest level of life is now a domain. All living things fit into only three domains. Within each of these domains there are kingdoms. Each kingdom contains phyla (singular is phylum), followed by class, order, family, genus, and species. In addition to the Linnaean kingdoms of ...
Communities group of interacting populations of different species that occupy the same area at the same time Example: your backyard (grass, trees, flowering plants, insects, rabbits, squirrels, etc. Ecosystems Includes both biotic & abiotic factors Biodiversity! terrestrial or aquatic Biomes are more ...
A symbiotic relationship is an interaction between two or more species in which one species lives in or on another species. There are three main types of symbiotic relationships: parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism. The first and the third can be key factors in the structure of a biological...

Though organisms may not be of the same species, they still can be dependent on one another. It is important to understand the interdependence of organisms within an ecosystem in order to obtain a clearer understanding of the succession of biological lif

Aquaculture has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing food industries in recent years, helping food security and boosting global economic sta
Local populations are largely independent but interconnected by migration, a concept particularly important for species living in patchy environments (Hanski, 1999). Despite the differences both models agree that spatial distribution patterns reflect the relation between the environment and the species' ...
Organisms from the same species can have different metabolic capacities, so metabolic capacities were predicted for each MAG prior to clustering into species to avoid creating “chimeric” metabolic reconstructions. Metatranscriptomic-based activity of each metabolic pathway was predicted with strict criteria...
