  2. Propagule pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagule_pressure

    Propagule pressure plays an important role in species invasions (Groom, 2006). Charles Darwin was the first to study specific factors related to invasions of non-native species.

    Congruent with this view, Russo et al. (2002) demonstrated that changing the font in which repeated presentations of nonwords were presented reduced the short-term perceptual priming of those stimuli, especially for massed items. Upon a recognition memory test, there was no spacing effect found for the nonwords presented in different fonts ...

    A 2016 study by Kumar et al. [13] chemically analyzed these secretions, concluding that they may be required in chemosensory mediated communication [14] and mate choice. Similarly, in the less aggressive herb-field mouse, males are observed to groom females for longer durations and even allow females to not reciprocate. [ 15 ]
