language learning strategies and vocabulary size of iranian efl learners
learning a second or foreign language requires the manipulation of four main skills, namely, listening, reading, speaking, and writing which lead to effective communication. it is obvious that vocabulary is an indispensible part of any communication, so without a vocabulary, no meaningful communication can take place and meaningful communication relies heavily on vocabulary. one fundamental fac...
Dynamics and diversity of online community activities
Web sites where users create and rate content as well as form networks with other users display long-tailed distributions of user activity. Using data from one such community site, Essembly, we propose and evaluate mechanisms for these distributions that rely only on information actually available to users. For Essembly, we describe the scale-free degree distribution of the social network as a ...
متن کاملCommunity assembly dynamics in space
Species live in a complex web of interactions in the ecological community. What effects do species exert on one another, and how strongly? If species interactions are mostly strong, how do species cope with one another and coexist in the same community? In other words, what level of species diversity and what patterns of species composition should we expect to see if species interactions strong...
متن کاملInvasibility: the local mechanism driving community assembly and species diversity
Recent theoretical developments involving community assembly on the one hand, and invasion biology on the other, suggest a gradual convergence in thought between what have been two largely separate theoretical initiatives. The term ‘‘invasibility’’ emerged in the field of invasion ecology to describe the susceptibility of environments to invasion by species from other regions of the world. Alth...
متن کاملHabitat Fragmentation Drives Plant Community Assembly Processes across Life Stages
Habitat fragmentation is one of the principal causes of biodiversity loss and hence understanding its impacts on community assembly and disassembly is an important topic in ecology. We studied the relationships between fragmentation and community assembly processes in the land-bridge island system of Thousand Island Lake in East China. We focused on the changes in species diversity and phylogen...
