Here we will focus on the concept of phylogenetic relict species that is more relevant to phylogenetic diversity . We then briefly consider the concept of geographic or climatic relict species to pinpoint when it has some added value for conservation purposes. These geographical or climatic relict ...
Genetic insight is also relevant to guide sustainable harvesting. This paper has the objective to review information on the species' geographic distribution, reproductive biology, genetic characteristics and existing conservation practices, and to identify knowledge gaps to orientate future conservation and ...
Multimidal distributions have more than two peaks. If you can’t clearly find one peak or two peaks in a graph, the likelihood is that you either have auniform distribution(where all the peaks are the same height) or a multimodal distribution, where there are several peaks of the same he...
Geospatial analysis is about understanding complex interactions based on geographic relationships— answering questions based on where people, assets, and resources are located. Geospatial insights enable users to provide better customer service, optimize workforce, locate retail or distribution centers, manage...
Despite the wide regional variations in climate by latitude and other geographic factors, the long-term average global climate is quite stable during interglacial periods,[6] and variations of a degree or two of average global temperature have historically had major effects on the ecological balance...
Identifying the geographic locations of hotspots of genetic diversity, the genetic structure of populations therein, and the microevolutionary processes that have led to their formation are important not only for the advancement of knowledge in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology, but also ...
the purpose of the map, the geographic area being mapped, the scale of the map, and which spatial properties (like area, shape, or distance) need to be preserved with the least distortion; What is spatial diffusion? Essentially: how things spread over space• ...

In biology, when dealng with population size, what is the difference between k-selected species and r-selected species? What is the basis for geographic variation in the evolution of a population? Comment on the evolution of animals and population of humans. ...
Within Africa as a geographic region, there is tremendous genetic diversity (as we’ve seen). People of African descent, particularly in North America, have higher rates of other chronic diseases as well, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes. As these diseases arepolygenic— in other words...
