Sentence examples for ecological driving from inspiring English sources

For small bats with high intestinal permeability, vulnerability to hydrophilic toxins could be an important ecological driving force, constraining food exploratory behavior, limiting the breadth of the dietary niche, and selecting for compensatory behaviors such as searching for and ingesting specific substances that inhibit hydrophilic toxin absorption [53].

To perform these experiments, we used a state-of-the-art virtual reality setup allowing us to realistically simulate fog in an ecological driving scenario (Loomis et al., 1999).

According to Hall-Spencer, the ecological processes driving life on seamounts still are poorly understood.

Wilson seems to intend "the biological basis of behavior" to refer to the social and ecological causes driving the evolution of behavior in animal populations, rather than the neurological or psychological causes of behavior in individuals; however, Wilson clearly thought sociobiology and neuroscience would have important theoretical interactions (Wilson, 1975, 5).

However, understanding the altered ecological interactions driving a population's vital rates is also key.
