What is the meaning of ecological climatology? What ecological goods and services does the atmosphere provide? What is the importance of biodegradable waste? What are the environmental impacts of landfills? What activities of humans have positive effects on the biosphere?
In the Anthropocene, the era when the imprint of humans on nature is pervasive across the planet, it is of utmost importance to understand human relationships with other species. The aesthetics of nature, and of species, is one of the values that plays a role in shaping human-nature relation...
Extensive, filling many aquatic niches Limited, important for evolutionary study 8 Compare with Definitions Actinopterygii Ray-finned fishes, fins supported by bony rays. The goldfish in your pond is an example of Actinopterygii. 15 Sarcopterygii Lobe-finned fishes, with fins that resemble limbs. ...
Thus, there are no ethical concerns with iPS cells. In addition, iPS cells are made from a patient’s own non-stem cells, meaning that iPS cells could be given back to a patient without risk of immune rejection, an important issue with any stem cell transplant. Future of stem cell thera...
Multidrug-resistant bacteria cause persistent hospital infections that increase morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries [1,2]. Their impact on health care systems is mostly due to the unavailability of effective antibiotics [1]. The main nosocomial antibiotic-resistant pathogens are Ac...
Another parameter that was difficult to assess was the effect of season on fungal diversity and quantity in the two niches, sand and water. The reason being, as already noted in our first smaller study [13], that in Israel there, are no clear distinctions between the four yearly seasons: ...
Researchers have since established definitions on the basis of shared ancestry (the phylogenetic species concept), physical features (the morphological species concept), or shared ecology (the ecological species concept), wherein species diverge as they take over different niches in their e...
reference to conceptual parallels between the Extended Mind Hypothesis and a set of heterodox theories in biology—environmental constructivism, niche construction, developmental systems theory—an argument for the grounding of environmentally extended cognitive traits in evolved biological functions is developed...
What is the meaning of the term "ecosystem" as used in biology? What is the difference between the abiotic and biotic factors of an ecosystem? Give an example. What is the difference between habitats and ecosystems? What do many species in ecology form? What is an example of biodiversity?
In a three-domain system, Bacteria is the largest domain. ( Living beings are classified intoArchae, Bacteria,andEukaryotadomain in the three-domain system.) Bacteria, a singular bacterium, is derived from the Ancient Greek word “backērion” meaning “cane”, as the first bacteria observed ...
