And, in the laboratory experiments that people who work on social insects perform, there's a great deal of use of experimental manipulation, changing the environment within the nest and changing the size and the structure of the nest, and then allowing the ants or the bees or the wasps to go out into the natural world or, at least, a laboratory environment that stimulates it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dark Forces thus features numerous logic puzzles and parts of the game requires a strategic method to progress, often involving manipulation of the environment.
The experts furthermore argue that technology has much to offer regarding the manipulation of the environment and other treatment factors.
Our findings suggest the manipulation of the environment by a special type of leukemic cells that might disrupt the normal HSC-niche communication at the time tumor progression is promoted.
These studies suggest that experimental manipulation of the environment may be more likely to yield replicable interaction effects than observational designs, as previously has been argued from a statistical perspective (McClelland and Judd 1993).
