Response diversity determines the resilience of ecosystems to environmental changeBiological Reviews - Tập 88 Số 2 - Trang 349-364 - 2013
Akira Mori, Takuya Furukawa, Takehiro Sasaki
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) ...... 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.

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, an...... 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) latitudinall...... 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 potent...... hiện toàn bộ
