Evolutionary hypotheses make a variety of commitments about development, ecology, genetics, and history.
This decline has been accompanied by an increasing attention to models of explanatory reduction (e.g., Sarkar 1998, Weber 2005) across a wider variety of domains in biology (e.g., development, ecology, evolution, cell biology, and neuroscience).
Future investigations of these appendages might productively combine molecular biology, development, ecology and evolution in both barbeled and non-barbeled fishes.
As a consequence, research on parental effects is considered to be at the forefront of the ongoing integration of development, ecology and evolution [ 15- 17].
These traits, along with its small genome size (~300 Mb), all support Aquilegia as an important new model for plant development, ecology and evolution.
Salamanders of the genus Ambystoma are important amphibian models for studying development, ecology, and evolution, and with the recent development of a complete genetic map for Ambystoma the prospects of understanding the genetic basis of biologically important trait variation has become a reality (Voss and Smith, 2005).
The importance of body size of a related group of organisms should not be overlooked, as body size influences and is, in turn, affected by evolution, ecology, development, physiology, and reproductive strategy [83], [129], [130].
After almost 90 years of development, urban ecology has evolved into a truly transdisciplinary enterprise that integrates ecological, geographical, planning, and social sciences.
It is, therefore, critical to identify and develop new model species from natural settings, with well-defined ecologies and abundant examples of adaptation to various environments to advance our understanding of plant evolution, development and ecology.
The theme this year is "The City," and organizers have taken an urban focus by emphasizing aspects of contemporary design like sustainable development and ecology.
Lawrence B. Slobodkin, a central figure in the development of ecology as a modern science and a co-author of one of its most inspiring inquiries, a paper known informally as "The World Is Green," died Sept. 11 at his home in Old Field, N.Y.
