Concepts

Increased food intake to offset elevated energy expenditure from additional activity or metabolic demands.

Ability of remaining species to increase growth and fill ecological niches left vacant by lost species

Predictable linear mixing behavior of chemical constituents between two water sources without reaction or loss

Signals must be 'contextually independent' where perceivers must respond to a variable call much as they would to the eliciting stimulus, even when no other cues are available

A JA-mimic produced by certain strains of P. syringae that causes the plant to inhibit SA production, allowing the bacteria to increase its virulence while encountering minimal defenses

The evolutionary process by which polyploid genomes are restructured into diploid-like states through chromosome rearrangements and gene loss

Physical mixing process that spreads solutes during transport through porous media

Microbial reduction of metal oxides and oxyhydroxides where metals serve as electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration

Daily fluctuations in dissolved oxygen and iron concentrations driven by photosynthesis, respiration, and temperature changes

When response to composite stimulus is equivalent or similar to response to one unimodal component

Process where new layers of bone are formed and other layers previously formed are resorbed into the endosteum, resulting in calcium extraction and potential destruction of growth rings

When multiple cues reduce uncertainty by providing supplemental information, resulting in increased response compared to single components

Changes in protein catalytic function through amino acid substitutions affecting substrate specificity or activity
