"Anthony Caro has made works that specifically referenced Cubism, and the British sculptors of the 80s like Richard Deacon and Bill Woodrow use assemblage which would never have happened without Picasso.
Then there are artists like me, who use assemblage or collage - I'm essentially a constructor, a putter-togetherer of things.
Pam Hallock, a scientist studying foraminifera in the Florida Keys, developed a method using assemblages of modern foraminifera (not fossil Nummulites!) to assess if local water conditions are appropriate for good coral health.
Future evaluation will thus have to compare individual based aesthetic scores with more "realistic" situations in order to disentangle the aesthetic contribution of species in communities (i.e. by using assemblages of fishes with different levels of diversity, abundances, and sizes).
Strategies for summarizing such large expanses of land cover are increasingly important, as land managers work to study and preserve distinctive areas, as well as to identify representative examples of current land-cover and land-use assemblages.
Although there are predictions as to what these changes might be (Rost et al. 2003), they have yet to be tested using assemblages that have had the opportunity to undergo both ecological interactions and evolutionary change.
In Chapter 2, I engage with the third and narrowest tier of my methodology by using assemblage theory as the basis for archaeological periodization of funerary ceramics at Bianying cemetery.
The goal of our study was to determine if the cavity-using assemblage associated with old upland forest in this region is retained within aggregated harvests with structural retention.
A more detailed examination of the habitat requirements of the key excavators is needed to develop best practices for tree and patch retention and ensure conservation of the cavity-using assemblage in aggregated harvests.
To this end, we present a generalized approach for detecting potential ecological thresholds using assemblage-level attributes and a multimetric index (Index of Biological Integrity-IBI) as endpoints in response to numerical changes in water quality.
