Large pitched roofs had an environmental driver, bringing in extra ventilation and light, and could not be further from the system-built flat-roof schools of the time.
Water availability is a major environmental driver affecting riparian and wetland vegetation.
Environmental driver analysis indicated that up-catchment conditions dominate river dynamics while typical urban impacts (first flush, impermeable land cover…) have only limited influence.
However, physiological stress to salinity variation, an important environmental driver in estuaries, could not explain by itself macrobenthic distribution along local intertidal flats.
For the three environmental driver examples above, this might include thermoregulatory ability, osmoregulatory ability, or ability to regulate pH.
For the three environmental driver examples above, this might include thermoregulatory ability, or the ability to regulate osmotic balance or pH.
This result suggests that the heating rate could be an important environmental driver of this molecular response in the host rather than duration and intensity of thermal anomalies [47].
To the best of our knowledge, this study constitutes the strongest case yet for an association between a single environmental driver and allele (haplogroup) frequencies in a mammalian species.
The variable in the model is an environmental "driver", that is, a variable whose value is not affected (or is minimally affected) by the presence or activity of individuals in the landscape.
In ephemeral freshwater rock pools, desiccation is the dominant environmental driver, killing organisms directly and exerting a strong effect on species composition, even though these organisms are well adapted to desiccation stress [14], [15].
All studies linked the observed phenotypic changes to the environmental driver by phenotype-environment correlation, with or without detrending.
