... fauna include either a lack of habitat specialisation or a habitat preference for moist environments, high fecundity, a lack of dietary specialisation, and small size. In contrast, a habitat specialisation for sandstone environments (other than caves), stenophagy, low fecundity and large size combined...

... in the composition of microbial communities on algal surfaces and can be induced via exposure to ambient seawater microbes and cultures of putative pathogens. Direct consequences of bleaching include reductions in algal growth and fecundity. Bleaching also has indirect ecological effects on the alga, with bleached...

... an inheritable gene into the population that limits the abundance of the highly fecund females, and the identification of discrete and finite carp breeding hot-spots within river systems, in order to provide targeted control options. ...

... in drought years in spite of food shortage or high density. In testing the claims against the evidence, age-specific fecundity, demographic sensitivity, and age structure of M. giganteus populations are quantified. The hypothesis of Arnold et al . (1991) and Dawson (1995), that mortality of sub-adults...
