Phenological Patterns of Terrestrial Plants
The term phenology is derived from the Greek word phaino meaning to show or to appear. Hence, phenology is defined as the study of the seasonal timing of life cycle events. For plants the seasonal timing of such events can be critical to survival and reproduction. In agriculture the most common failure of introduced crops is the inability to adjust to the seasons imposed by the new, environment...
متن کاملTerrestrial Plants and Plant Communities
A terrestrial plant community is best described by its composition and dynamics. It is most important to know for each plant speciesits numbers, the area covered by it, its rate of reproduction, and its longevity. It is also important to know how soon adult plants are replaced by their young or other species and the frequency with which one species occurs relative to others in the community. Al...
متن کاملProvincialization of terrestrial faunas following the end-Permian mass extinction.
In addition to their devastating effects on global biodiversity, mass extinctions have had a long-term influence on the history of life by eliminating dominant lineages that suppressed ecological change. Here, we test whether the end-Permian mass extinction (252.3 Ma) affected the distribution of tetrapod faunas within the southern hemisphere and apply quantitative methods to analyze four compo...
متن کاملHow the Red Queen drives terrestrial mammals to extinction.
Most species disappear by the processes of background extinction, yet those processes are poorly understood. We analyzed the evolutionary dynamics of 19 Cenozoic terrestrial mammalian clades with rich fossil records that are now fully extinct or in diversity decline. We find their diversity loss was not just a consequence of "gamblers ruin" but resulted from the evolutionary loss to the Red Que...
متن کاملDeterminants of instrumental extinction in terrestrial toads (Bufo arenarum)
Previous research in a water-reinforced instrumental training situation with toads (Bufo arenarum) has shown that performance in both acquisition and extinction is poorer after partial, rather than continuous reinforcement training. In Experiment 1, the performance of a group receiving 24 trials on a 50% partial reinforcement schedule was poorer in acquisition and extinction than that of contin...
