Species distribution and population abundance are keystone patterns in ecology, and currently also in epidemiology.
O'Neill's success at Alcoa is just one example of a keystone habit, a pattern that has the power to start a chain reaction, changing other habits as it moves through an organization.
Typical Brugada ECG pattern is the keystone in the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome.
Figs are keystone species due to their asynchronous fruiting pattern [ 10- 13] i.e. all trees do not all fruit at the same time, thus there are always some fig trees in fruit in the forest, making this genus an important fall-back food for gibbons in times of food shortage (Cheyne, unpublished data).
We illustrate our procedure by creating a detailed simulation model of fruit production patterns for Dipteryx oleifera, a keystone tree species, on Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama.
Fault analysis is a keystone for suitable protection scheme design.
Singh explores how patterns are keystones for our world both in particular and general cases, from nature and human behavior to superstition.
Politically and economically speaking, it is a keystone species, one whose legal status will determine patterns of grazing, urban expansion and, especially, oil and gas development over much of the American West.
A strong negative relationship between the abundance of P. chinensis and species of the keystone seed dispersing ant (Aphaenogaster species) was observed, with similar patterns for the small species of the subfamilies Formicinae and Myrmicinae, and litter foraging ant species.
The plate overlap pattern is considered conserved at higher taxonomic levels, and the divergent keystone Plate 3′ in Parvodinium marciniakii, sp. nov., thus appears as a striking diagnostic character.
