The Bray-Curtis distance measure is appropriate for assemblage data because it gives no weight to zero/zero (mutual absence) data.
We consider both models because the distinction between large and local patterns of species abundance based on dispersal becomes artificial in continuous landscapes [28], so we have no a priori expectation of which, if any, of the two models would be the most appropriate for our assemblages.
Mac Premo's "Seeing Seeing" (2008), a mixed-media assemblage, employs appropriated media imagery and personal photographs in stop-action animation to raise questions about the relationship of self to society, and the meaning and uses of words and objects — familiar conceptual fare.
Existing mitigations to address deterioration in water clarity associated with human activities are based on responses from single seagrass species but may not be appropriate for diverse seagrass assemblages common to tropical waters.
Intertidal rocky shores assemblages are appropriate to study changes driven by global-scale anthropogenic impacts and climate change effects due to their ecological characteristics and accessibility [18], [19].
In order to improve our understanding and prediction of environmental thresholds leading to undesirable change on coral reefs, it seems logical to draw upon evidence collected at spatial scales appropriate to observe reef assemblages through time (∼100 500 matchingching the majority of existing management, policy, and perception.
Rather than focussing on species per se, focussing on functional diversity of tree species assemblages seems appropriate when selecting tree species for restoration.
Conventional PCR assays are appropriate to determine G. duodenalis assemblages, but lack sensitivity for the detection of mixed infections.
Due to their accelerated life cycles, high rates of local extinction, and naturally patchy substrates, epiphyllous bryophyte assemblages are an appropriate plant guild for empirically testing metacommunity-based predictions associated with habitat fragmentation.
We suggest that with time expression of cell walls would become a genetically controlled phenotype, expressed in planktonic conditions but not under appropriate conditions, e.g., in cellular assemblages.
