Chapter 7. Glossary of Ecological Terms Chapter 7. Glossary of Ecological Terms Information Sources is often described in density and biomass parameters, the distinction between biomass and other abundance measures is important. Biomass, expressed as mass per unit area, or mass The terminology used in chapters 1 through 6 is per volume, reflects the quantity of resources incorporated common in fishery science and quantitative ecology. The list by the population (that is, bioenergetics) and as such, is an of science terms identified in this glossary focuses not only indicator of its relative role in the ecosystem (Odum, 1985). on the common vocabulary used but also the uncommon and specialized terminology used in this report and its Age The length of time during which a being or thing appendices.

Abundance Generally, there are three types of abundance Importantly, the relation between total length (L) and total measures: total number of animals in a population (absolute weight (W) for nearly all species of fish is expressed by the abundance), number of animals per unit area (density), and equation (Ricker, 1975): abundance and density of one population to another (relative abundance).

  • Glossary - Cellbiology
    1 Glossary - Cellbiology Blotting: (Blot Analysis) Widely used biochemical technique for detecting the presence of specific macromolecules (proteins, mRNAs, or DNA sequences) in a mixture. A sample first is separated on an agarose or polyacrylamide gel usually under denaturing conditions; the separated components are transferred (blotting) to a nitrocellulose sheet, which is exposed to a radiolabeled molecule that specifically binds to the macromolecule of interest, and then subjected to autoradiography. Northern B.: mRNAs are detected with a complementary DNA; Southern B.: DNA restriction fragments are detected with complementary nucleotide sequences; Western B.: Proteins are detected by specific antibodies. Cell: The fundamental unit of living organisms. Cells are bounded by a lipid-containing plasma membrane, containing the central nucleus, and the cytoplasm. Cells are generally capable of independent reproduction. More complex cells like Eukaryotes have various compartments (organelles) where special tasks essential for the survival of the cell take place. Cytoplasm: Viscous contents of a cell that are contained within the plasma membrane but, in eukaryotic cells, outside the nucleus. The part of the cytoplasm not contained in any organelle is called the Cytosol. Cytoskeleton: (Gk. ) Three dimensional network of fibrous elements, allowing precisely regulated movements of cell parts, transport organelles, and help to maintain a cell’s shape. • Actin filament: (Microfilaments) Ubiquitous eukaryotic cytoskeletal proteins (one end is attached to the cell-cortex) of two “twisted“ actin monomers; are important in the structural support and movement of cells. Each actin filament (F-actin) consists of two strands of globular subunits (G-Actin) wrapped around each other to form a polarized unit (high ionic cytoplasm lead to the formation of AF, whereas low ion-concentration disassembles AF).

    Buzzle – Zoology Terms – Glossary of Biology Terms and Definitions http://www.buzzle.com/articles/biology-terms-glossary-of-biology-terms-and- definitions.html#ZoologyGlossary Biology is the branch of science concerned with the study of life: structure, growth, functioning and evolution of living things. This discipline of science comprises three sub-disciplines that are botany (study of plants), Zoology (study of animals) and Microbiology (study of microorganisms). This vast subject of science involves the usage of myriads of biology terms, which are essential to be comprehended correctly. People involved in the science field encounter innumerable jargons during their study, research or work. Moreover, since science is a part of everybody's life, it is something that is important to all individuals. A Abdomen: Abdomen in mammals is the portion of the body which is located below the rib cage, and in arthropods below the thorax. It is the cavity that contains stomach, intestines, etc. Abscission: Abscission is a process of shedding or separating part of an organism from the rest of it. Common examples are that of, plant parts like leaves, fruits, flowers and bark being separated from the plant. Accidental: Accidental refers to the occurrences or existence of all those species that would not be found in a particular region under normal circumstances. Acclimation: Acclimation refers to the morphological and/or physiological changes experienced by various organisms to adapt or accustom themselves to a new climate or environment. Active Transport: The movement of cellular substances like ions or molecules by traveling across the membrane, towards a higher level of concentration while consuming energy.

It’s how nature creates itself, on every scale, the snowflake and the snowstorm. — TOM STOPPARD, Arcadia, Act 1, Scene 4 (1993) Much has been written about evolution from the perspective of the history and biology of animals, but significantly less has been writ- ten about the evolutionary biology of plants. Zoocentricism in the biological literature is understandable to some extent because we are after all animals and not plants and because our self- interest is not entirely egotistical, since no biologist can deny the fact that animals have played significant and important roles as the actors on the stage of evolution come and go. The nearly romantic fascination with di- nosaurs and what caused their extinction is understandable, even though we should be equally fascinated with the monarchs of the Carboniferous, the tree lycopods and calamites, and with what caused their extinction (fig. 0.1). Yet, it must be understood that plants are as fascinating as animals, and that they are just as important to the study of biology in general and to understanding evolutionary theory in particular.

  • Landscape Approach in Addressing Land Use and Tenure Arrangements Among Pastoral Commnities in Eastern Africa: the Case of Tanzania
    LANDSCAPE APPROACH IN ADDRESSING LAND USE AND TENURE ARRANGEMENTS AMONG PASTORAL COMMNITIES IN EASTERN AFRICA: THE CASE OF TANZANIA Working paper STEPHEN NINDI (1), FIONA FLINTAN (2), DEUS KALENZI (2), VICTOR MWITA (3), ISAACK LUAMBANO (2) Paper prepared for presentation at the “2018 WORLD BANK CONFERENCE ON LAND AND POVERTY” The World Bank - Washington DC, March 25-29, 2019 Copyright 2019 by author(s). All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. Abstract Land use and tenure related conflicts are not new in Tanzania including between farmers and livestock herders. Conflicts are increasingly becoming common places as human and animal population heightens, urbanization grows and increases in other land uses such as agriculture, mining, infrastructure development and other emerging uses. Pastoralists are used to their mobility to ensure sustainable availability of pasture, water and minerals and maintenance of gene diversity. Nonetheless, economic and human development processes have tremendously reduced land available for pastoral mobility resulting in increasing challenges over access to resources and land. For decades conventional village spatial planning has further restricted pastoral movement within village jurisdiction boundaries. Recently, spatial planners have embarked on developing Joint Village Land Use Plans and Agreements to enable more space and diversity for pastoral mobility, protecting shared grazing areas across village boundaries as part of this. As part of a wider and an integrated approach that looks at the challenge in its holistic and integral manner, there is opportunity for reconciling different land uses in the landscape and improving mutual benefits.

  • Marine Microplankton Ecology Reading
    Marine Microplankton Ecology Reading Microbes dominate our planet, especially the Earth’s oceans. The distinguishing feature of microorganisms is their small size, usually defined as less than 200 micrometers (µm); they are all invisible to the naked eye. As a group, sea microbes are extremely diverse, and extremely versatile with respect to their abilities to make and eat food. All marine microbes are too small to swim against the current and are therefore classified as plankton. First we will discuss several ways to classify marine microbes. 1. Size Planktonic marine organisms can be divided into the following size categories: Category Size femtoplankton <0.2 µm picoplankton 0.2-2 µm nanoplankton 2-20 µm microplankton 20-200 µm mesoplankton 200-2000 µm In this laboratory we are concerned with the microscopic portion of the plankton, less than 200 µm. These organisms are not visible to the naked eye (Figure 1). Figure 1. Size classes of marine plankton 2. Type A. Viruses Viruses are the smallest and simplest microplankton. They range from 0.01 to 0.3 um in diameter. Externally, viruses have a capsid, or protein coat. Viruses can also have simple or complex external morphologies with tail fibers and structures that are used to inject DNA or RNA into their host. Viruses have little internal morphology. They do not have a nucleus or organelles. They do not have chlorophyll. Inside a virus there is only nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA. Viruses do not grow and have no metabolism. Marine viruses are highly abundant. There are up to 10 billion in one liter of seawater! B.
