Habitat-Selecting Life History

Fishes
Adaptive life histories emerge through their environmentally dependent effects on fitness. Those effects are consequences of habitat quality and the density-dependent decisions that organisms make on habitat choice. Density dependence for ideal organisms

On the use of colour reflectivity plots to monitor the structure of the troposphere and stratosphere [PDF]

, 1986
The radar reflectivity, defined as the range squared corrected power of VHF radar echoes, can be used to monitor and study the temporal development of inversion layer, frontal boundaries and convective turbulence.
