Autecological work revealed a large bank of dormant, water-impermeable mallow seeds that require heating by fire to germinate. |
The predictable parts of biological systems are the stable elements, form and function, autecological and synecological, which have persisted through evolutionary time. |
Autecological research will focus on species ecology of major noncommercial species and provide a better knowledge base for managing these species. |
For hedgerows to act as corridors for woodland plants they must provide habitat conditions to suit species' autecological requirements. |
Candidate autecological eEOVs have not been developed other than for marine mammals and birds. |
More importantly, when extrapolating to ancient floras, you cannot guarantee that the autecological preferences of ancestral plants resemble those of their extant descendants. |
