Sentence examples for components of species from inspiring English sources
These components of species diversity respond differently to various environmental conditions.
Land-use preference, soil preference and dispersal ability were largely independent components of species characteristics.
The reintroduction and recolonization of species extirpated from former ranges are key components of species conservation.
We studied how the landscape structure (percentage cover and diversity of surrounding habitats) affects different components of species diversity (alpha, beta and gamma) of vascular plants in semi-natural grasslands in the Slovak Republic.
The relative contribution of alpha and beta diversity on the regional level was assessed by diversity partitioning and the beta diversity between landscapes further partitioned into components of species turnover and nestedness.
Because the richness and evenness components of species diversity may respond differently to habitat fragmentation, we suggest that monitoring projects and empirical studies that focus on changes in biodiversity in semi-natural grasslands should include the assessment of species evenness – as a complement to the assessment of species richness.
Lookingbill and Urban (2003,2005) determined that spatial variations in temperature have a large influence on the distribution of vegetation and are therefore, a vital component of species distribution models (Ashcroft et al. 2008).
The extent of phenotypic differentiation in response to local environmental conditions is a key component of species adaptation and persistence.
Divergence of gene expression is an important component of species evolution and essential means to generate biological diversity [ 12].
Phenological changes have long been recognized as a major component of species responses to climate change that can cascade through associated trophic levels.
The evolutionary component of species invasions has been the growing focus of studies on the adaptation of introduced species in a novel environment and the evolutionary consequences for native species in invaded communities [ 6, 7].
