The primary habitat for Bacillus sp. is the soil. In this environment, they remain inactive until a suitable substrate (food source) becomes available. Usually these substrates include large molecules from the remains of plants and animals. The large molecules, like proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates are suitable substrate for Bacillus sp. because these strains excrete enzymes which break thes...

1. To develop a conservation management plan for a species, knowledge of its distribution and spatial arrangement of preferred habitat is essential. This is a difficult task, especially when the species of concern is in low abundance. In south-western Victoria, Australia, populations of the rare rufous bristlebird Dasyornis broadbenti are threatened by fragmentation of suitable habitat. In orde...

Habitat suitability models have been extensively used by conservation planners to estimate the likelihood of occurrence and abundance of threatened wildlife species in terrestrial ecosystems, but they have been rarely applied to aquatic environment. In this study a GIS-based habitat suitability (HS) model has been developed to identify suitable sites for Manila clam (Tapes philippinarum) farmin...

Egg mimicry is an important adaptation of common cuckoos, Cuculus canorus, against rejection of eggs by their respective hosts. A precondition for the maintenance of egg mimicry is that female cuckoos find hosts with a matching egg type. Experimental evidence indicated that habitat imprinting may be important for host selection. We tested whether the spacing and laying patterns of female cuckoo...

quantification of the habitat available for fish species named rainbow trout (oncorhynchusmykiss) were evaluated in lees ferry, colorado river using water depth, water temperature, sediment transport,flow velocity in 2004 as environmental index. for the flow velocity and temperature distribution calculationsin the river, the navier-stokes equation and energy conservation equations with finite v...

Question Alpine vegetation is sensitive to climate change, with shifts in species ranges, changes community composition, and an upward shift the forest limit over decades. Under habitats suitable for alpine will progressively decrease scale, making their protection conservation particularly important. In Taisetsu Mountains of Japan, has changed remarkably during last decade. The aim this study ...
