In biology, the annual cycle for plants and animals details behavioral and chemical changes that take place as the seasons advance. [ 1 ] In business , a business cycle refers to the way modelling and analysis is applied to the periodic development and marketing of new products and services.
Some animals that are nocturnal have disadvantages in animal sensory systems, such as bats, they have poor vision and use other adaptations such as echolocation, something a non-nocturnal animal would not have. Photoperiodism is the ability of plants and animals to use the length of day or night, resulting in the modification of their ...
These interactions (whether it be plant-plant, animal-animal, predator-prey or plant-animal interactions) can be vital to the success and survival of populations and therefore species. Many species experience changes in life cycle development, migration or in some other process/behavior at different times in the season than previous patterns ...
Just because the growing season is coming to an end doesn’t mean that your work in the garden is through. Many plants, trees, and shrubs require pruning during different times of the year so ...
[2] [3] [4] In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to undergo hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant. Various cultures define the number and nature of seasons based on regional variations, and as such ...

The Yolngu, the Aboriginal Australians of north-east Arnhem Land, identify six seasons. Non-Indigenous people living in the Top End usually identify two: the wet and the dry. (Arguably, the build-up period between dry and wet is coming to be identified as a distinct third season.) The six Yolngu seasons, and their characteristics, are ...
Herbivory is of extreme ecological importance and prevalence among insects.Perhaps one third (or 500,000) of all described species are herbivores. [4] Herbivorous insects are by far the most important animal pollinators, and constitute significant prey items for predatory animals, as well as acting as major parasites and predators of plants; parasitic species often induce the formation of galls.
