Concepts

Predicts that fast-growing plants in high resource environments invest less in defense because they can easily regrow after herbivory

Hypothesis that highly aroused animals produce nonlinear vocalizations because they lose control of their larynx over vocal fold production apparatus

Hypothesis that nonlinear phenomena are more variable or more abrupt and therefore more unpredictable, making animals less likely to habituate to them and causing prolonged responses

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 ...

hypothesis that large animals should follow high quality forage at the leading edge of green-up in the spring

The latitudinal ranges of plants and animals are greater at higher compared to lower latitudes

Hypothesis that presence of active social support systems provides aid to focal individuals and creates buffer against stressors

The hypothesis that ageing is suspended during hibernation, whereby species engaging in torpor periodically suspend ageing and thus live longer than predicted based on body size alone

The hypothesis that observed declines in excretion rates over time are due to cessation of feeding rather than other factors

The hypothesis that recent D. geminata blooms are caused by introductions of the species to new geographic areas

Hypothesis that social relationships provide direct emotional and behavioral aid that encourages healthy lifestyle changes

Janzen's hypothesis that tropical mountain ranges act as more effective physiological barriers to dispersal than temperate ones due to reduced seasonal temperature variation in the tropics

The hypothesis that there is a 1:1 anatomical relationship between stigma lobe and ovule in Geranium richardsonii
