Some Questions to Ponder
... What limits primary productivity in open oceanic waters? How are these limiting factors mediated by the physical properties of the habitat? Graph the spectrum of solar radiation outside the atmosphere and at Earth’s surface. Describe how different regions of the spectrum influence biological process ...

Sexual selection or wind dispersal?

Flowering is staggered among individuals, so flowering and fruiting tend to occur simultaneously within a population. We explored both the sexual selection and seed dispersal hypotheses for gigantism in Dahlia sp. If ...
