Concepts

Properties of materials that inhibit microbial growth and decomposition

Approach to compare genome features across multiple species to identify conserved and variable elements.

When prior infection by one natural enemy affects the plant's resistance or susceptibility to attack by a different natural enemy

The degree to which novel resources resemble historical resources in their chemical or physical cues

Computational method to improve genome assembly accuracy by using short reads to correct errors in long-read assemblies

Multiple individuals of solitary nesting species choosing to nest in close proximity to one another

Interspecific interactions between caddisfly larvae and their predators affecting case size and behavior

A state where viable seeds do not germinate immediately even under favorable conditions

Below-normal snowpack conditions that can be caused by lack of winter precipitation (dry) or winter precipitation falling as rain rather than snow (warm)

Selection on body mass accounting for juvenile survival until reproduction but may weaken after recruitment

Major histocompatibility complex genes involved in antigen presentation and immune response

Peak metabolic rate and total energy expenditure during forced flight as measures of dispersal ability
