"He was always trying to make sure that wherever possible we would apply something which is more ecological in the technology".
However, all three species grew very well in waterlogged soil without flooding, supporting the contention by Keddy (2010) that wetland plants tolerate extremes of flooding but do not physiologically require them, and that the apparent requirement for flooding in these species is more ecological than physiological.
Although few detailed studies have been conducted on the natural history of these animals, T. alpinus is generally considered to be more of an ecological specialist than T. speciosus, a difference that may have important implications for patterns of response to environmental change.
We hypothesised that non-essential elements would be more useful as ecological tracers than essential elements.
Under the allopatric speciation hypothesis we predicted genetic, but not necessarily ecological divergence, and thus that environmental niches of sister species should be more similar than under ecological speciation.
In other words, consumers may be more interested in private ecological products (such as energy-saving air-conditioning) in order to meet internal ethical standards.
A measure of body size would probably be more suited for such ecological associations than cranial length.
This type of population sample, specifically designed to include the environmental extremes in which the species is found, will be more informative for delimiting ecological range than a random population sample (Sultan et al. 1998).
"Analyses and visualization using 3D MKDEs can be more informative and yield greater ecological insights than traditional 2D home range estimators in representing the space use of animals that have a substantive vertical component.
Contrary to traditional ecology, which highlighted the physical and biological features of environment, the ecological approach to health is more social-ecological in nature.
