"biota" is a correct and usable word in written English.
It is typically used to refer to all of the plant and animal life found in a particular region. You can use it in a sentence like this: "The biota of the rainforest is incredibly diverse and contains a multitude of species."
This specimen the front half of an animal that would have been about 5cm long when intact and others like it from the Chengjiang biota are so well-preserved that their brains, eyes, muscles and primitive vascular systems can all be seen.In this section Humans 1, Machines 7 A strange, new fossil arthropod Recherche du temps perdu Intelligent intelligence Mustard plants, not mustard gas Reprints.
To a large extent these geographic variations in tropical rainforest biota reflect the long-term geologic histories of these ancient ecosystems.
Modern biota are largely dominated by soft-bodied organisms, whereas the fossil record is overwhelmingly dominated by the hard parts of organisms.
Among the most famous soft-bodied biota are those found in the Burgess Shale of western Canada (British Columbia), which was formed during the middle of the period, and the Chengjian Biota from southern China (Yunnan), which was formed earlier in the period.
The known Cambrian biota was restricted to marine environments.
The end of the dinosaurs (except birds) and many other forms of life allowed the development of modern biota in the Cenozoic Era.
There is evidence to support earlier experience that the best way to ensure the preservation of the indigenous biota is to maintain a matrix of the indigenous vegetation with more than 50 percent of the land area undisturbed and an additional 25 to 50 percent in successional stages.
Relenza, devised by Biota Holdings, of Melbourne, Australia, gums up an influenza protein.
These atmospheric changes in themselves can influence the chemistry of the hydrosphere, but they also appear to be coupled with other changes in the rock ocean atmosphere biota system that strongly affect hydrospheric chemistry.
As the goal of force is complexity, the goal of nature (commonly understood) is biodiversity, the goal of planets is to sustain biospheres, the goal of terrestrial existence is to increase biota the telos of nature is life (1 353), at least until it reaches maximum density and begins to fracture in cosmic collapse.
Yet such grouping is man's doing, not nature's.[3] Jefferson begins with biota the system he questions is the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus's and works his way down to "particles of matter".
