  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. In his research he identified that few members of the same genus were present in habitats containing naturalized non-indigenous species (Colautti et al., 2006).

  4. Blattodea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blattodea

    Blattodea is an order of insects that contains cockroaches and termites. [2] Formerly, termites were considered a separate order, Isoptera, but genetic and molecular evidence suggests they evolved from within the cockroach lineage, cladistically making them cockroaches as well. [3]

  5. Social grooming - Wikipedia

    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 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMP-activated_protein_kinase

    5' AMP-activated protein kinase or AMPK or 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase is an enzyme (EC 2.7.11.31) that plays a role in cellular energy homeostasis, largely to activate glucose and fatty acid uptake and oxidation when cellular energy is low.

  9. Effects of climate change on plant biodiversity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change...

    Data from 2018 found that at 1.5 °C (2.7 °F), 2 °C (3.6 °F) and 3.2 °C (5.8 °F) of global warming, over half of climatically determined geographic range would be lost by 8%, 16%, and 44% of plant species. This corresponds to more than 20% likelihood of extinction over the next 10–100 years under the IUCN criteria. [41] [42]
