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 ...
Having geographically separate, non-overlapping ranges of distribution. [17] Contrast sympatric. alternate 1. (adj.) (of leaves or flower s) Borne singly at different levels along a stem, including spiralled parts. Contrast opposite. 2. (prep.) Occurring between something else, e.g. stamen s alternating with petal s. alternipetalous
Populus × jackii (balm-of-Gilead, [1] bam bud, [2] bom-a-gilly [2]) is the hybrid between balsam poplar, Populus balsamifera, and the eastern cottonwood, Populus deltoides, occurring occasionally where the two parental species' ranges overlap.
Character displacement was first explicitly explained by William L. Brown Jr. and E. O. Wilson in 1956: "Two closely related species have overlapping ranges. [1] In the parts of the ranges where one species occurs alone, the populations of that species are similar to the other species and may even be very difficult to distinguish from it.
In a histogram, each bin is for a different range of values, so altogether the histogram illustrates the distribution of values. But in a bar chart, each bar is for a different category of observations (e.g., each bar might be for a different population), so altogether the bar chart can be used to compare different categories.
Example of a radial tree, from a 1924 organization chart that emphasizes a central authority [1] A radial tree, or radial map, is a method of displaying a tree structure (e.g., a tree data structure) in a way that expands outwards, radially. It is one of many ways to visually display a tree, [2] [3] with examples dating back to the early 20th ...
C. crispus is philopatric [14] and territorial, [7] and marks trees with sweet-sour-smelling preorbital gland secretions to indicate its territory. [33] Males and females establish separate, overlapping ranges, typically 10–15 hectares (25–37 acres), [34] but the male's is typically larger than the female's. [14]
