  2. Generalist and specialist species - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalist_and_specialist...

    A benefit of a specialist species is that because the species has a more clearly defined niche, this reduces competition from other species. On the other hand, generalist species, by their nature, cannot realize as much resources from one niche, but instead find resources from many. Because other species can also be generalists, there is more ...

  3. Bale Mountains vervet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bale_Mountains_vervet

    The Bale Mountains vervet monkey is a dietary specialist with African alpine bamboo (Yushania alpina) making up as much as 77% of its diet. [7] This makes the species unique in the genus Chlorocebus as the other five species are dietary generalist species. [2]

  4. Ecological succession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_succession

    An example of pioneer species, in forests of northeastern North America are Betula papyrifera (White birch) and Prunus serotina (Black cherry), that are particularly well-adapted to exploit large gaps in forest canopies, but are intolerant of shade and are eventually replaced by other shade-tolerant species in the absence of disturbances that ...

  5. Habitat destruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_destruction

    Habitat size and numbers of species are systematically related. Physically larger species and those living at lower latitudes or in forests or oceans are more sensitive to reduction in habitat area. [23] Conversion to "trivial" standardized ecosystems (e.g., monoculture following deforestation) effectively destroys habitat for the more diverse ...

    The extinction or near extinction of these pollinators would result in many plants that feed humans on a wide scale needing alternative pollination methods. [8] Crop pollinating insects are worth annually $14.6 billion to the US economy [ 9 ] and the cost to hand pollinate over insect pollination is estimated to cost $5,715-$7,135 more per hectare.

  8. Intermediate disturbance hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_disturbance...

    David Wilkinson gives a thorough history of the hypothesis in his paper titled, "The disturbing history of the intermediate disturbance". [2] In this paper, he explains that the idea of disturbance relating to species richness can be traced back to the 1940s in Eggeling 1947, [7] Watt 1947, [8] and Tansley 1949. [9]

  9. Ecotype - Wikipedia

    In 2022, the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), which had been considered to have two ecotypes in the western North Atlantic, was separated into two species by Costa et al. [53] based on morphometric and genetic data, with the near-shore ecotype becoming Tursiops erebennus Cope, 1865, described in the nineteenth century from a ...
