The questionnaire also included items on demographic, socio-economic and forced displacement characteristics (longevity, distance, frequency), and exposure to 16 traumatic events using the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (Mollica, Massagli, & Silove, 2004).
Artemisia spp. are characteristic of mature communities, but A. tridentata is removed by fire and does not recover quickly due to the low dispersal distance and short longevity of its seed (Young and Evans 1989).
The extensive seed longevity in seawater and long-distance seed dispersal may explain the lack of phylogeographical structuring of coastal plants (e.g. Arafeh and Kadereit 2006).
Musically, this seems to be Cake's goal: to have the longevity of the driver in "The Distance" or of Mr. Louvin, whose first rock-'n'-roll-related bill featured a young Elvis Presley as an opening act.
We chose species belonging to different orders (ie, having a relatively large evolutionary distance) so that maximum longevity and adult weight covered a wide range of values and were not skewed toward a single branch, (see Figure 1).
If I had a crystal ball and could say for sure that it won't have longevity, then does that mean I should distance myself from it?" Forcade remained realistic, replying, simply, "You never really know".
In most externally fertilizing fish, however, sperm tend to be released close to the eggs and so swim a short distance through water, where speed might be more important than longevity.
This suggest that an amphophilous pollen syndrome combined with a higher propagule longevity leads to a greater chance of successful establishing at long distances, increasing gene flow and decreasing gene diversity and population structure.
Thus, in a variable estuarine environment where seed movement is stochastic [ 18], our data suggests that higher propagule longevity leads to a greater chance of successful establishing at long distances, increasing gene flow and decreasing population structure [ 45, 46].
"Shocking to me was the extent and the longevity of his appreciation of Stalin, even after much of the American left had begun to distance themselves," says Kaufman.
Our results show that the effect of habitat fragmentation on metapopulation persistence differs greatly not only depending on the dispersal distance of a particular species, but also on how well it utilizes habitat patches of different longevity.
