An autonomous recording unit (ARU) is a self-contained audio recording device that is deployed in marine or terrestrial environments for bioacoustical monitoring. The unit is used in both marine and terrestrial environments to track the behavior of animals and monitor their ecosystems.
This list of research methods in biology is an index to articles about research methodologies used in various branches of biology. Research design and analysis [ edit ]
This glossary of biology terms is a list of definitions of fundamental terms and concepts used in biology, the study of life and of living organisms.It is intended as introductory material for novices; for more specific and technical definitions from sub-disciplines and related fields, see Glossary of cell biology, Glossary of genetics, Glossary of evolutionary biology, Glossary of ecology ...
In the context of a biological system, bifurcation theory describes how small changes in an input parameter can cause a bifurcation or qualitative change in the behavior of the system. The ability to make dramatic change in system output is often essential to organism function, and bifurcations are therefore ubiquitous in biological networks ...
Contextual inquiry (CI) is a user-centered design (UCD) research method, part of the contextual design methodology.A contextual inquiry interview is usually structured as an approximately two-hour, one-on-one interaction in which the researcher watches the user in the course of the user's normal activities and discusses those activities with the user.
Reference-based methods require an a priori defined reference matrix consisting of the expected value (also called profile or signature) of gene expression (or DNA methylation) for a group of genes (or CpG sites) known to have a differential expression (or methylation) Reference-based methods and reference-free methods for cellular deconvolution.
Agent-based models have many applications in biology, primarily due to the characteristics of the modeling method.Agent-based modeling is a rule-based, computational modeling methodology that focuses on rules and interactions among the individual components or the agents of the matrix . [1]
The bioecological model of development is the mature and final revision of Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological system theory.The primary focus of ecological systems theory is on the systemic examination of contextual variability in development processes.
