If the creativity, talent and enthusiasm showcased here represent the current state and future direction of ecological research, then the field of ecology is certainly in good hands.
It is likely that these representations incorporate spatial insights that will result in new and fecund directions for ecological modeling to take.
"It's great to try to move our lives in the direction of ecological righteousness, but it's also true that every human activity has environmental impact," she wrote in an op-ed article that appeared in newspapers in 1990.
The magnitude and direction of ecological effects of Bt crops on non-target arthropods were all examined and interpreted as a sole pest management strategy and within the context of current pest management practices.
The modern wind-power engineering is one of the perspective directions of using ecological clean energy in the building.
Migration loads (i.e., reduced fitness because of unfit migrants) were the highest at the center of the habitat since the populations at the center receive migrants from both directions along the ecological gradients.
If this were the case in T. cristinae, it would demonstrate at least two different ecological dimensions (trophic ecology and predator avoidance) working in the same direction during ecological speciation.
Meeting the cumulative social and ecological consequences of the overall direction of the First Deep Transition would require a radical change, not only in socio-technical systems but also in the meta-rules driving their evolution – the Second Deep Transition.
We show that human risk preferences are exquisitely sensitive to current metabolic state, in a direction consistent with ecological models of feeding behaviour but not predicted by normative economic theory.
Other studies analyse a sample of the invited population (Pornet et al, 2010) or use area-based measures of SEP (Weller et al, 2007; von Wagner et al, 2009a) as proxies for individual-level measures, which is likely to underestimate the true individual effect, but associations could be biased in either direction by the ecological fallacy (Galobardes et al, 2006a).
