An integrative measure of how much tension there is in the water column of the xylem, reflecting the ease or difficulty a plant has in transporting water from the soil

The proportion of aliphatic GS derived from branched-chain amino acid (Val and Ile) precursors, representing quantitative trait variation controlled by known biosynthetic locus

Constancy index that distinguishes between complete constancy, random transitions, and complete inconstancy

Statistical approach using prior information and measurement uncertainties to optimally estimate atmospheric properties

Safety procedures including isolation, testing, and capacity restrictions to enable field research during pandemic

Late Cretaceous geological time intervals

Model developed to determine LARs based on SAR and simple properties of food webs including species richness, number of links and connectance

Dimensionless number comparing transport timescale to reaction timescale, used to determine whether transport or reaction processes dominate

Predicts that a species' high-elevation range limit is determined by harsh abiotic conditions whereas its low-elevation range limit is set by antagonistic species interactions

Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera orders used as indicators of aquatic ecosystem health

Harmonic mean of precision and recall used to evaluate classification model performance

A statistical distribution commonly observed in species abundance patterns, predicted by METE for undisturbed communities

A relationship between plumage coloration and climate variation, predicting that darker coloration due to pigmentation occurred in warmer, more humid tropical regions while lighter colors occurred in ...

Males infected with parasites will have reduced mate attraction as a consequence of less enhanced secondary sexual characters due to energy allocation to immune response

Day of year from 1-365 used to measure timing of biological events

Type of recurrent neural network capable of learning temporal dependencies in sequential data through gated memory cells

Standardized measure of interaction strength ranging from -1 to 1, where positive values indicate facilitation and negative values indicate competition
