Exploring the relative importance of spatial and environmental variation on the craniometrics of the modern Portuguese.
Previous research on the causes of craniometric variation within and among human populations has invoked both genetic and environmental explanations. Recent studies of modern populations in the United States and Portugal, among other populations, suggest that changes in environmental conditions have resulted in significant changes in cranial morphology. While similar changes in cranial morpholo...
متن کاملRelative importance of host environment, transmission potential and host phylogeny to the structure of parasite metacommunities
Identifi cation of mechanisms that shape parasite community and metacommunity structures have important implications to host health, disease transmission, and the understanding of community assembly in general. Using a long-term dataset on parasites from desert rodents, we examined the relative contributions of host traits that represent important aspects of parasite environment, transmission p...
متن کاملDispersal Ability Determines the Role of Environmental, Spatial and Temporal Drivers of Metacommunity Structure
Recently, community ecologists are focusing on the relative importance of local environmental factors and proxies to dispersal limitation to explain spatial variation in community structure. Albeit less explored, temporal processes may also be important in explaining species composition variation in metacommunities occupying dynamic systems. We aimed to evaluate the relative role of environment...
متن کاملImportance of Environmental Education in the Creation of Environmental Attitude and Behavior on Solid Waste Management
When we can make emphasis on recycling and processing materials, that enough energy and materials are not available. Rapid population growth and excess urban development are a significant cause of the destruction of the environment and natural resources. To achieve sustainable development, the human need to manage the waste. One way to manage waste can be done through environmental education; o...
متن کاملMetacommunities . Spatial Dynamics and Ecological Communities
In the early to mid-twentieth-century ecology was often dismissed as “the study of everything connected to everything else.” This book’s title, obviously extending Levins’s metapopulation concept, suggests an expanded interest in ecological linkages. The editors, also major contributors, are to be commended for the assembly, and the conceptual integration they anticipate will launch a new (and ...
