Sentence examples for more diverse assemblage from inspiring English sources

Functional traits associated with plant-animal interactions are essential for forest functionality, given that a higher diversity of fruit traits is likely to maintain a more diverse assemblage of frugivores and consequently promote the seed dispersal function.

The fragmented heath supported a taxonomically and ecologically more diverse assemblage of flower-visitors, compared to the extensive heath.

It contains about 140 taxa of benthic infauna from 11 invertebrate phyla dominated by polychaetes, mollusks, and bryozoans, and an even more diverse assemblage of epifauna, including 158 taxa dominated by fishes, sponges, mollusks, bryozoans, cnidarians, and polychaetes.

Presumably in response to the relative absence of congeners at Easter Island, C. miliaris has undergone ecological release: it preys on a more diverse assemblage of prey at Easter Island and is more abundant at Easter Island than at other localities in its range [14].

In the future, with more phage genomes and more bacteria with CRISPR information available, it will be possible to systematically test the selection hypothesis across a more diverse assemblage of species.

Effects of different species often are complementary, such that more diverse assemblages should be buffered better against changes in ecosystem properties in heterogeneous environments.

Along an axis of the common morphospace, the relative warp scores of two assemblages are first independently ordered from lowest to highest, then combined to create a set of 125 x-y points, with the older and more diverse assemblage-that with the larger range in values-placed on the x-axis.

Little is known about the evolutionary processes that shape the composition of these fungal assemblages, nor is it known whether more diverse assemblages are beneficial to crop productivity.

Previous studies on artificial assemblages concluded that the positive effect of genotypic richness could possibly have been due to the "insurance hypothesis", suggesting that diverse assemblages are more likely to include genotypes able to resist particular environmental conditions, or "facilitation", with more diverse assemblages showing higher complementarity in resource use [ 51, 57].

Alternatively, the increased survival of assemblages with higher A observed here may be due to a sampling effect with genomic backgrounds with increased metabolic efficiency under stressful conditions met during the experiment, more likely to be present in more diverse assemblages.

Species richness is higher in the young and middle-aged LV and LM assemblages, respectively, than in the older and morphologically more diverse LT assemblage.
