Range of the snail Elona quimperiana, an example of a disjunct distribution. In biology, a taxon with a disjunct distribution is one that has two or more groups that are related but considerably separated from each other geographically. The causes are varied and might demonstrate either the expansion or contraction of a species' range. [1]
In one example, a plant’s flowering phenology and its seed-dispersing ant mutualist’s phenology are both triggered by temperature cues. [27] Because the plant’s phenology is more prone to change under a new climate regime than the ant’s, the plant is decoupled from the selective pressure for flowering synchrony that the ant mutualism ...
For example, when testing if the given interval [40 ,60) overlaps the intervals in the tree shown above, we see that it does not overlap the interval [20, 36) in the root, but since the root's low value (20) is less than the sought high value (60), we must search the right subtree. The left subtree's maximum high of 41 exceeds the sought low ...
A plant which completes its life cycle (i.e. germinates, reproduces, and dies) within two years or growing seasons. Biennial plants usually form a basal rosette of leaves in the first year and then flower and fruit in the second year. bifid Forked; cut in two for about half its length. Compare trifid. bifoliate
For example, if number => number is the type of function taking a number as an argument and returning a number, and string => string is the type of function taking a string as an argument and returning a string, then the intersection of these two types can be used to describe (overloaded) functions that do one or the other, based on what type ...
Mentha, also known as mint (from Greek μίνθα míntha, [2] Linear B mi-ta [3]), is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. [4] It is estimated that 13 to 24 species exist, but the exact distinction between species is unclear. [5] [1] Hybridization occurs naturally where some species' ranges overlap. Many hybrids and ...
A FedEx contract worker has been busted for allegedly dumping dozens of packages in the woods to avoid working late. Latavion Lewis was arrested after a post office in Bonifay, Florida, received ...
Peripatric speciation is a mode of speciation in which a new species is formed from an isolated peripheral population. [1]: 105 Since peripatric speciation resembles allopatric speciation, in that populations are isolated and prevented from exchanging genes, it can often be difficult to distinguish between them, [2] and peripatric speciation may be considered one type or model of allopatric ...
