Something about armchair biogeographers strolling by a petiole before nanoscaling through a mitochandria, making sure not to get in the way of speeding mRNAs. ❋ Unknown (2006)
The reasons for the lack of forests are still a point of discussion among biogeographers. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It is what biogeographers call a Holarctic species. ❋ AYDIN (2008)
While ecologists and biogeographers began to look at the human aspect of ecosystem studies during the 1960s and 1970s (e.g. Egler's work on the total human ecosystem, Dansereau's on human ecology in 1966), the emphasis of the work remained on quantification of structure and function of populations, communities, and ecosystems. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Johnson considered the long-distance swimming ability of elephants a well-supported fact, which most biogeographers had chosen blindly to ignore. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
Many geneticists, ecologists, population biologists, biogeographers, zoo veterinarians, conservation planners, land managers, and other professionals were beginning to think of themselves as allied in a single discipline—a movement, even—and the movement was gathering momentum. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
Of course the best of the earlier biogeographers, Darwin and Wallace, had also searched for repeated patterns and sought answers for the deeply interesting questions those patterns raised; MacArthur was merely continuing their tradition while inventing new methods. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
It was as close to a theory-testing experiment as two eager young biogeographers could get. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
A fresh generation of ecologists and biogeographers came along in the footsteps of MacArthur and Wilson. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
Krakatau is a shrine to island biogeographers because its ecosystem was obliterated and founded anew within scientific memory. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
The work became quietly famous among other ecologists and biogeographers. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
The new field season for island biogeographers will not, after all, be spent in downtown Ensenada. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
Squirrelly tides and winds are an occupational hazard for island biogeographers in the Gulf of California, as are some other forms of bad weather and stormy luck. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
Continental versus oceanic, in the sense that biogeographers use the terms, is a third. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
He did some abstruse theoretical work in population genetics, he studied the dynamics of predator-prey interactions and competition between similar species, but then he came into contact with “two real good island biogeographers” who helped shift his interests in that direction. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
But the walking-ratite scenario was befuddling for biogeographers of earlier generations, before continental drift theory had been developed and accepted. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
Since that time, a handful of devoted biogeographers have visited intermittently, paying careful attention to the ebb and flow of species. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
As far as the pioneer biogeographers were concerned, these two sibling islands, Bali and Lombok, belonged to two different realms. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
