We examined the extent, to which the use of community metrics based on species traits reflecting plausible sensitivity to change would contribute to our understanding of landscape characteristics of importance to the conservation of farmland birds in a poorly studied region of Northwest Russia.
We analyzed the effectiveness of the Floristic Quality Index (FQI), a vegetative community metric based on species richness and the level of sensitivity to anthropogenic disturbance of individual species present (Coefficient of Conservatism (CC)), using ground layer vegetation data from forests and woodlands with different fire histories in the Missouri Ozarks, USA.
Sensitivity analyses and reaction path analyses, based on species rates of reaction, were used to interpret the results, especially the effect of higher alkanes on the oxidation of natural gas.
This scheme illustrates the relative environmental and human microbial contributions to each sample based on a species-by-species literature survey based on species name searches in PubMed.
Second, we evaluated the implications of using the Kato-Katz method and mini-FLOTAC method in terms of their sensitivity for diagnosing STH infection, based on species-specific estimates from a recent meta-analysis (Table 2).
Therefore, a discussion on species sensitivity would be based on speculation regarding toxicity such as metabolic capacity of certain aquatic species that allow the bioactivation of PSOA resulting in, e.g., oxidative stress.
These species were mapped based on the species names ("relaxed species mapping").
In human adrenocortical cells, AKR1B1 was proposed to undertake the same function as AKR1B7 in murine species, based on its hormonal sensitivity and isocaproaldehyde reductase activity [24].
This approach avoids conflating qualitative and quantitative issues during hazard characterization, and thereby prevents human relevance from being ruled out based on differences in sensitivity across species.
