Using soil mites in microcosms, we characterise ecological, phenotypic and evolutionary dynamics in replicated populations in response to experimental manipulations of environment (e.g. the competitive environment, female age, male quality).
The challenges of a parkour learning environment can be (re) designed by manipulation of task, environment and organismic (personal) constraints.
Precise characterisation and manipulation of this environment will be a major challenge for spine biomechanics.
South of the European deciduous forests lie areas that were occupied by temperate sclerophyllous forests before the effects of human manipulation of the environment were felt.
Soil microbial community composition and activity could be affected by suitable manipulation of the environment they live in.
Iron fertilization is contentious because it is associated with geoengineering, a set of proposed strategies for counteracting global warming through the deliberate manipulation of the environment.
One article had nothing to do with climate change, another called for strict CO2 regulations, and a third advocated research on geo-engineering, the manipulation of the environment to offset the rise in CO2.
Limited provision of straw resulted in behavior comparable with that from unlimited provision of hay, with reduced tongue playing and oral manipulation of the environment, as well as increased chewing compared with diets with no roughage supplement.
Microscopic charcoal is an essential tool in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, informing on fire histories and cycles, vegetative response to fire, climate change and human manipulation of the environment through the use of fire.
Dark Forces thus features numerous logic puzzles and parts of the game requires a strategic method to progress, often involving manipulation of the environment.
