Biological interaction

In ecology, a biological interaction is the effect that a pair of organisms living together in a community have on each other.

E. O. Wilson

Edward Osborne Wilson (June 10, 1929 – December 26, 2021) was an American biologist, naturalist, ecologist, and entomologist known for developing the field of sociobiology.

Ecological Society of America

The Ecological Society of America (ESA) is a professional organization of ecological scientists.

Evolutionary ecology

Evolutionary ecology lies at the intersection of ecology and evolutionary biology.

See Douglas Schemske and Evolutionary ecology

Hummingbird

Hummingbirds are birds native to the Americas and comprise the biological family Trochilidae.

Latitudinal gradients in species diversity

Species richness, or biodiversity, increases from the poles to the tropics for a wide variety of terrestrial and marine organisms, often referred to as the latitudinal diversity gradient.

See Douglas Schemske and Latitudinal gradients in species diversity

Mating system

A mating system is a way in which a group is structured in relation to sexual behaviour.

See Douglas Schemske and Mating system

Michigan State University

Michigan State University (Michigan State or MSU) is a public land-grant research university in East Lansing, Michigan.

Mimulus

Mimulus, also known as monkeyflowers, is a plant genus in the family Phrymaceae, which was traditionally placed in family Scrophulariaceae.

See Douglas Schemske and Mimulus

National Academy of Sciences

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is a United States nonprofit, non-governmental organization.

Pollination

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther of a plant to the stigma of a plant, later enabling fertilisation and the production of seeds.

See Douglas Schemske and Pollination

Polyploidy

Polyploidy is a condition in which the cells of an organism have more than one pair of (homologous) chromosomes.

See Douglas Schemske and Polyploidy

Population biology

The term population biology has been used with different meanings.
