Response diversity determines the resilience of ecosystems to environmental changeBiological Reviews - Tập 88 Số 2 - Trang 349-364 - 2013

ABSTRACTA growing body of evidence highlights the importance of biodiversity for
ecosystem stability and the maintenance of optimal ecosystem functionality.
Conservation measures are thus essential to safeguard the ecosystem services
that biodiversity provides and human society needs. Current anthropogenic
threats may lead to detrimental (and perhaps irreversible) ecosystem
degradation, providing ... hiện toàn bộ

ABSTRACTAmber is fossilised plant resin. It can be used to provide insights into
the terrestrial conditions at the time the original resin was exuded. Amber
research thus can inform many aspects of palaeontology, from the recovery and
description of enclosed fossil organisms (biological inclusions) to attempts at
reconstruction of past climates and environments. Here we focus on the resin
itself, ... hiện toàn bộ
Bivariate line‐fitting methods for allometryBiological Reviews - Tập 81 Số 2 - Trang 259-291 - 2006
David I. Warton, Ian J. Wright, Daniel S. Falster, Mark Westoby
ABSTRACTFitting a line to a bivariate dataset can be a deceptively complex
problem, and there has been much debate on this issue in the literature. In this
review, we describe for the practitioner the essential features of line‐fitting
methods for estimating the relationship between two variables: what methods are
commonly used, which method should be used when, and how to make inferences from
the... hiện toàn bộ

COMPENSATION FOR TEMPERATURE IN THE METABOLISM AND ACTIVITY OF POIKILOTHERMSBiological Reviews - Tập 30 Số 3 - Trang 311-342 - 1955
Theodore H. Bullock
SUMMARYMany poikilothermal animals exhibit in their metabolism or activity some
degree of independence of their temperature. In the general case this is
regarded as reflecting a compensation rather than a fundamental insensitivity of
metabolism or the rate functions measured.Illustrative cases are assembled
including the following: (1) latitudinally separated populations of the same
species and of... hiện toàn bộ
TEMPERATURE ACCLIMATION AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEMBiological Reviews - Tập 49 Số 4 - Trang 477-514 - 1974
Kirsti Lagerspetz
Summary1. The conduction velocity of the compound action potential of peripheral
nerves shows compensatory acclimation to temperature in a fish, a snail, a crab,
and probably also in the frog. The heat and cold tolerances of peripheral
conduction are probably both increased by cold acclimation in the frog.2. The
properties of compound action potentials are not suitable for temperature
acclimation ... hiện toàn bộ
