What is a trace fossil? What is fossil feedstock? What are fossil casts? What is a fossil assemblage? What do fossils tell us? What is an index fossil? What is amber fossil? What's a fossil fuel? What is geochr
A considerable part of community ecology literature questioned what are the main drivers of ecological relationships in an organismal community. We analysed this focal question by studying blister beetle (Meloidae) assemblages in Southern Africa. We explored the ecological distribution of 48 species ...
What is a physical change? What is transformed mycosis fungoides? What is ecological development? What is a fossil assemblage? What is the phenetic species concept? What are radionuclides? Who came up with the organic analogy? What does MBT stand for in developmental biology?
Surface is the abstract expression of "cultural ecology" in the UNNC cubic world. To explore and seek knowledge in the pluralistic world is a way like changing from the mayfly of the sea to the Kun (a mythical creature in anci...
[4,23,24]; it is an assemblage of species each individually adapted to their biotic and abiotic conditions. Thus the complexity that an ecosystem exhibits is not the product of Darwinian adaptation at the community level [25]. Furthermore, at present we lack general organisational principles ...
Despite its importance, relatively little is known about the biodiversity and ecology at these depths, and still less about how this complex web may be impacted by a changing supply of food as the ocean warms. The geological past, however, provides us with a route to tackle some of these ...
Ontogenetic niche shifts are extremely common features of the life-cycles of diverse organisms (Werner and Gilliam1984; Fryxell and Sinclair1988; Post2003). Understanding the mechanisms that promote these shifts is a highly active area of research in ecology as important variables would clearly be im...
What is a long-term community ecology? Community Ecology: A community also acknowledged as a biological community, ecological community, or assemblage of life comprises a relationship of populations of multiple different species inhabiting a common geographical area at the same period in ecology. The ...
Why is ecology central to understanding the evolutionary process of natural selection? Explain. How has the earth's biodiversity changed over time? How did the activities of living organisms change the planet in a way that made it possible for a more diverse assemblage of organisms to follo...
The question of the factors governing allocation of energy is basic to many ecological and conservation biology studies of mussels (Aldridge, 1999; Haag & Staton, 2003): predictions of age, growth pattern, size at maturity, and the growth asymptote are crucial to understanding the ecology of ...
