Niche Partitioning Along an Environmental Gradient
Biological systematics studies suggest that species are discretized in niche space. That is, rather than seeing a continuum of organism types with respect to continuous environmental variations, observers instead find discrete species or clumps of species, with one clump separated from another in niche space by a gap. Here, using a simple one dimensional model with a smoothly varying environmen...
متن کاملHydric environmental effects on turtle development and sex ratio.
Experimental and field studies of different turtle species suggest that moisture influences embryonic development and sex ratios, wetter substrates tend to produce more males, and drier substrates produce more females. In this study, we used Trachemys scripta elegans to test the effect of moisture on embryonic development and sex ratios. T. s. elegans eggs were incubated under different tempera...
متن کاملHaematological and serum biochemical responses of chickens to hydric stress.
Dehydration can be extremely damaging to the performance and welfare of indigenous chickens. The effect of water restriction on haematological and biochemical parameters was compared in Naked Neck (NNK) and Ovambo (OVB) chickens. A total of 54 8-week-old pullets each of NNK and OVB chickens with an initial average weight of 641 ± 10 g/bird were randomly assigned to three water intake treatments...
متن کاملDung Beetles along a Tropical Altitudinal Gradient: Environmental Filtering on Taxonomic and Functional Diversity
Mountains provide an interesting context in which to study the many facets of biodiversity in response to macroclimate, since environmental conditions change rapidly due to elevation. Although the decrease in biodiversity with increasing elevation is generally accepted, our understanding of the variation of functional diversity along altitudinal gradients is still poorly known. The partitioning...
متن کاملAssociation between blood pressure changes and obesity in over-18
Introduction: Overweight and obesity are risk factors for developing many diseases such as hypertension. Furthermore, obesity indicators such as abdominal height, waist circumference and hip circumference can independently and sometimes more severely lead to blood pressure changes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between blood pressure changes and anthropometric in...
