Evolutionary physiological ecology
Evolutionary physiological ecology. Optimum efficiencies of energy transformation in anoxic metabolism. INTRODUCTION The existence of Variation at the gene ievel is now accepted to be ubiquitous among species, although the extent of Variation is known to differ neutral theory of molecular evolution (Kimura, 1983) which assumes that the dominant forces underlying the dynamics of gene frequency c...
متن کاملEcology of plant speciation
Ecology affects each of the three principal processes leading to speciation: genetic differentiation among populations within species, acquisition of reproductive isolation among populations, and the rise of ecological differentiation among such populations, allowing them to coexist. Until recently, however, the ties between ecology and speciation in plants have received relatively little atten...
متن کاملSmall plants, large plants: the importance of plant size for the physiological ecology of vascular epiphytes.
Recently, a number of publications have reported that many physiological properties of vascular epiphytes are a function of plant size. This short review will summarize what is known to date about this phenomenon, describe the possible mechanism and will discuss the consequences for the present understanding of epiphyte biology. Size-related changes are also known from other plant groups and it...
متن کاملPhysiological ecology meets climate change
In this article, we pointed out that understanding the physiology of differential climate change effects on organisms is one of the many urgent challenges faced in ecology and evolutionary biology. We explore how physiological ecology can contribute to a holistic view of climate change impacts on organisms and ecosystems and their evolutionary responses. We suggest that theoretical and experime...
متن کاملSize-related intraspecific variability in physiological traits of vascular epiphytes and its importance for plant physiological ecology
Intraspecific variation in the physiological characteristics of plant organs due to differences in genotype, environmental heterogeneity, or developmental stage is a generally accepted phenomenon, whereas plant size is much less recognised by ecophysiologists as an important source of phenotypic variation. This review argues that sizerelated intraspecific variability may be found in most plants...
