Sentence examples for consequence of extinction from inspiring English sources

In contrast, the worst dispersers ("focal" species) have a low indicator power, as a probable consequence of extinction events occurring in hedgerows, where ecological conditions are suboptimal with respect of forest species.

This is a consequence of extinction being the outcome of complex dynamics, so it is not reasonable to expect that it should remain stable across the tree.

Note that unlike signals in the BLA, there was no pronounced change in response from CS+1 to CS+5 in the HPC signals across the extinction session, so it is unlikely that the lower CS+- than CS−-evoked responses were a consequence of extinction (see Fig. S1).

These findings have important bearings for all published simulation works which, assuming fixed or stable network structure, estimate the consequences of extinction chains triggered by disturbance.

One of the pervasive consequences of extinction of the major seed dispersers of a plant would be a collapse in the natural regeneration cycle, a severe bottleneck in one of its sequential stages of recruitment, and a shortening of the seed dispersal distances leading to loss of genetic variation.

(1997) ranked conservation priority based on biological consequences of extinction and risk of extinction.

We suggest conservation priorities among lake whitefish DUs based on biological consequences of extinction, risk of extinction and distinctiveness.

Selfing can also reduce Ne by other processes than inbreeding, for instance through selective sweeps and hitchhiking, as a consequence of background selection, or because it magnifies the consequences of extinction and recolonisation [ 56, 57].

The rationale for this approach was that responses to CS+1 (vs. CS−1) reflect the pure expression of conditioned fear, which is logically unconfounded by any extinction process whereas, comparatively, responses to CS+5 (vs. CS−5) reflect, in part, the consequences of extinction, i.e. learning that the CS+ is no longer followed by shock.

Our findings highlight the importance of trophic interactions in determining diversity-functioning relationships and suggest that predicting the ecosystem-level consequences of extinctions at higher trophic levels is not likely to be a straightforward endeavor.

The relatively inconsequential number and non-significance of sorting events (pollinator extinction independent of the host) detected in this study (Table 3) might be a consequence of low extinction probability overall [ 56].
