Sentence examples for variation in communities from inspiring English sources

Further research to characterize the microbial communities of related species, investigating the variation in communities in relation to geography and/or different life stages, could contribute to a better understanding of the complex symbiotic relationships of beetles with microorganisms and the impact of microorganisms on the host lifecycle.

Magadi and colleagues in Kenya found evidence for complex variation: in communities more than 10 km from a health facility, between-woman variation is larger than in those within 10 km distance, which means individual factors may play a bigger role when accessibility barriers are higher [ 36].

To assess variation in community composition, we test the independence between contributor profiles and the tag community they appear using a chi-square test.

Species environment correlation coefficients provided a measure of how well variation in community composition could be explained by individual environmental variables.

We examined the structure of soft sediment assemblages at different spatial scales in southeast Tasmania, and correlated spatial variation in community composition with seastar abundances.

Eigenvector mapping and variation partitioning revealed that spatially independent habitat processes accounted for little of the variation in community composition (2.0%); most variation was attributed either to habitats that were spatially structured (25.6%) or to dispersal independent of habitat (28.0%).

While it is accepted that communities should participate in the planning process, variation in community and household-level landscape dependencies and priorities can create a fractured viewpoint that is difficult to integrate into the land planning process.

A complete model with all examined factors explained 40 and 32% of the variation in species richness and 42 and 36% of the variation in community composition for the field interior and the field margin, respectively.

Following multivariate statistical analysis, a large amount of variation in community composition was explained by soil pH, which is remarkable given the relatively small size of the sampling area and minor differences in pH.

In addition, a substantial amount of the variation in community composition, for the British Isles as a whole and for some RBUs, was accounted for by spatially-structured environmental variables.

The study "makes a connection that nobody has made before," says Gina Wimp, a community ecologist at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Accounting for individual genetic differences and their ripple effects through a community promises to make sense of previously befuddling variation in community ecology, she says.
