Ten MPs described the colonial traits (final colony height, added height, percentage of height added, total number of branches, ecological volume, the ratio of skeletal volume to ecological volume, branch spacing, colony width or the lateral dimension of the colony, weight added and Ω, the order of colony complexity; see Table 1 for detailed definition).
Doebeli and Dieckmann [ 58] argued that ecological competition causes branching of populations, but Gavrilets [ 47] questioned this interpretation.
Wavelets have been utilized previously in various branches of ecological theory and to identify relationships between disease and long-term climatic patterns.
In permaculture, a branch of ecological design, there's no solution that can't be improved by better design based on new or better information.
Alex Steffen and the other contributors to worldchanging.com - and this big book which the website has spawned - describe that puritanical branch of ecological thought as "dark green" and, in opposition, describe themselves as "bright green".
For this purpose, the photocatalysts in the form of thin films are most promising and convenient materials to be studied in this branch of ecological purification.
Lutz, BD; Mulholland, PJ; Bernhardt, ES, Long-term data reveal patterns and controls on stream water chemistry in a forested stream: Walker branch, Tennessee, Ecological Monographs, vol. 82 no. 3 (August , 2012, pp. 367-387 [abs] [abs].
In the coevolutionary process, it is expected that a community will face invasions of a new phenotype or species through events such as evolutionary branching and ecological invasion.
To our knowledge, the treatment of Van Doorn and Weissing (2001) is the only coherent study where the evolution of ecological differentiation through evolutionary branching and the divergence of mating preferences through Fisherian runaway selection is systematically investigated, both analytically and by means of computer simulations.
On daily outings, he collected twigs, leaves, branches and related ecological materials in order to chart events, the weather, and his emotional state.
