Contrary to other ecological settings (K t, m,...), fragmentation has non obvious (and potentially contradictory) qualitative effects on demographic and genetic viabilities.
The finding that greater numbers of divorced men are associated with higher STI burden is contrary to a United States-based ecological study that found no association [39].
Contrary to traditional ecology, which highlighted the physical and biological features of environment, the ecological approach to health is more social-ecological in nature.
In arguing that Maasai folk knowledge is undergoing acculturation, it may first seem contrary to claim that traditional ecological knowledge concerning rangeland health is still in practice, that rather knowledge and practice are indeed 'being lost'.
Contrary to assumptions in several ecological studies, dispersal is not a fixed species-specific life-history trait, and there is growing evidence for the importance of intraspecific- and between-population variation (Baguette and Van Dyck 2007; Stevens et al. 2010).
North of Safaniya sediments were not likely to pose adverse ecological effects contrary to sediments south of Tanaqib.
Contrary to the expectation that profound ecological upheavals during cooler periods would have reduced the population size of G. elliotii, the Bayesian skyline plot revealed a stable population during the cooler MIS4 and MIS2 periods.
The evolution of S. cerevisiae strains was found on the contrary to be highly correlated with the ecological niches from which they originated rather than with their geographical origins (Schacherer et al. 2009).
Contrary to Microcystis, Cylindrospermopsis and Arthrospira have a narrower ecological amplitude, mainly occurring in tropical to warm-temperate regions [94], [95], [96], [97].
Contrary to often-stated opinions, North American reedbeds support a great taxonomic, ecological and geographic diversity of native and non-native organisms (examples in Table 2; many more could be cited).
