The hydraulic limitation hypothesis revisited.
We proposed the hydraulic limitation hypothesis (HLH) as a mechanism to explain universal patterns in tree height, and tree and stand biomass growth: height growth slows down as trees grow taller, maximum height is lower for trees of the same species on resource-poor sites and annual wood production declines after canopy closure for even-aged forests. Our review of 51 studies that measured one ...
متن کاملEvolution of clutch size in cavity-excavating birds: the nest site limitation hypothesis revisited.
There are two major competing hypotheses for variation in clutch size among cavity-nesting species. The nest site limitation hypothesis postulates that nesting opportunities are more limited for weak excavators, which consequently invest more in each breeding attempt by laying larger clutches. Alternatively, clutch size may be determined by diet; the clutch sizes of strong excavators may be sma...
متن کاملThe hygiene hypothesis revisited
To date, a large body of data supports the hygiene hypothesis. However, the explanation of the relationship of autoimmune and allergic diseases with a decrease in microbial load still seems insufficient. Here, an attempt is made at interpreting the available data in terms of a new perspective on infection and immunity.
متن کاملThe British hypothesis revisited.
Forty years ago, British investigators developed the hypothesis that recurrent bronchial infections were the reason that some smokers developed progressive airways obstruction and other did not [1]. The classical studies of FLETCHER et al. [2] were designed to test this proposition. They carried out a prospective study of working males, noting the frequency of respiratory infections, sputum qua...
متن کاملThe hippocampal lamella hypothesis revisited.
We have re-examined the hippocampal lamellar organization of the CA3-to-CA1 connection. Based on a new technique with electrophysiological quantification of Schaffer collateral density, and a review of recent literature, we conclude that the lamellar organization remains a useful concept for understanding hippocampal connectivity. Using a sheet-like hippocampal preparation, containing the whole...
