Environmental heterogeneity shapes the C and S cycling-associated microbial community in Haima's cold seeps [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Environmental heterogeneity in cold seeps is usually reflected by different faunal aggregates. The sediment microbiome, especially the geochemical cycling-associated communities, sustains the ecosystem through chemosynthesis.

Adapting to Environmental Heterogeneity: Selection and Radiation
Biological Theory, 2021 Environmental heterogeneity is invoked as a key explanatory factor in the adaptive evolution of a surprisingly wide range of phenomena. This article aims to analyze this explanatory scheme of categorizing traits or properties as adaptations to environmental heterogeneity ("heterogeneity adaptations").

Environmental fitness heterogeneity in the Moran process [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Many mathematical models of evolution assume that all individuals experience the same environment. Here, we study the Moran process in heterogeneous environments. The population is of finite size with two competing types, which are exposed to a fixed number of environmental conditions.

Similar fish species composition despite larger environmental heterogeneity during severe hypoxia in a coastal ecosystem [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Environmental heterogeneity is one of the most influential factors that create compositional variation among local communities. Greater compositional variation is expected when an environmental gradient encompasses the most severe conditions where ...

Structural modifications in Bermuda grass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] ecotypes for adaptation to environmental heterogeneity [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionIt is well known that different ecotypes adopt different mechanisms to survive under environmental stress conditions. In this regard, each ecotype showed different type of modifications for their existence in a specific habitat that reflects ...

Variations in Flavonoid Metabolites Among Forsythia suspensa Populations in Response to Environmental Heterogeneity [PDF]
PlantsForsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl, a pharmacopoeial medicinal plant, is valued for its therapeutic efficacy in heat-clearing detoxification, dispelling wind-heat, and promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis.

Environmental heterogeneity and commodity sharing in smallholder agroecosystems. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2020 Smallholder farmers undertake a number of strategies to cope with climate shocks in a community. The sharing of resources across households constitutes one coping mechanism when environmental shocks differentially impact households. This paper investigates commodity sharing dynamics among households in eight communities in an environmentally ...

Intraspecific variation in pollination ecology due to altitudinal environmental heterogeneity [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPlant‐pollinator interactions are constrained by floral traits and available pollinators, both of which can vary across environmental gradients, with consequences for the stability of the interaction.

Environmental factors determining the diversity of darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) in arid, high-altitude environments in Northwestern Argentina [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Factors influencing the diversity of tenebrionid beetles in arid, high-altitude environments in the northwest of Argentina are little-known. Using pitfall traps and suction sampling in 30 sites, we collected these beetles in Altos Andes (AA) and Puna (PU)

Heterogeneous responsiveness to environmental stimuli *
Behavioral Ecology, 2023 Abstract Individuals of a species cope with environmental variability through behavioral adjustments driven by individuals’ responsiveness to environmental stimuli. Three key empirical observations have been made for many animal species: The coexistence of different degrees of ...
