Sentence examples for ecological specialisations from inspiring English sources

"In the last 10-15 years, palaeontologists found many Mesozoic mammals with very interesting functional and ecological specialisations".

The genetic data did not support any subspecies divisions or any ecological specialisations.

Often, shared ecological specialisations makes it possible to find basidiomes of different species associated with an individual host tree on the same site.

Traditionally, species concepts have been largely based on macromorphological traits, colour changes with KOH on the basidiomes (usually the pileus, and the stipe surface and flesh), and ecological specialisations [ 2- 5].

Ecological specialisation is one of the central features of ecological communities (Devictor et al. 2010 Forister et al. 2012 Poisot et al. 2011a Ravigné et al. 2009).

At fine taxonomical scales, ecological specialisation, i.e. organisms preferentially exploiting a subset of available habitats, is thought to be a driver promoting niche diversity.

Fungal vacuoles are unusual in their wide variety of architectures and roles in different species and in different cell types – their morphology and dynamics reflecting their ecological specialisation.

The study of community responses to environmental changes can be enhanced by the recent development of new metrics useful in applied conservation: relative rarity, ecological specialisation and functional diversity.

The Orchidaceae is probably the largest family of flowering plants with more than 27,000 species (Zotz 2013) and is the most diverse plant group (Swarts and Dixon 2009), with high levels of ecological specialisation for pollinators and mycorrhizal fungi (Bailarote et al. 2012).

McBride and Arguello [19] also reported pseudogenisation of parts of the Gr repertoire in these last two species and related this to the ecological specialisation shown by these species [7].

However, paeleoclimatic events and ensuing diversification/specialisation do not explain the independent evolutionary trajectories of the Sylvaticus and Scriptus lineages, as extant phenotypic diversity and ecoregional habitation (Table S3) indicates that ecological specialisation is derived, and haplogroups within the two lineages are still capable of exploiting both forested and open niches.
