Meanings of microhabitat in English

Interestingly, the parasite exhibits strict site specificity and microhabitat preference.

We asked if microhabitat vegetation characteristics at nest sites matched the characteristics that directed macrohabitat nest-site selection.

We found that macrohabitat nest-site selection was guided by dense vegetation cover and minimal bare ground as also seen at the microhabitat scale.

Spectra were then integrated with absorptivity curves of desert reptiles to determine if differences in light quality among microhabitat types changed integrated mean absorptance.

The potential functions of the detected bacteria are discussed in terms of productivity, recycling of organic matter and detoxification within the P. palmiformis microhabitat.

That's to be expected given the complexity of the microhabitats.

Sometimes specific microhabitats can be identified.

Temperature differences were statistically proven between the three microhabitats and between the catch basin external and internal temperature.

These species show segregation in their selection of microhabitats, differing in relation to soil hardness, plant biomass, and plant cover.

Mean absorptance for reptiles was similar among microhabitats with the greatest differences observed between animals in unfiltered skylight and under tropical canopies.

The green 'coat' of the world's mountains is composed of specialized plants, animals and microbes, all nested in a great variety of microhabitats.

Soil animals live in complex and heterogeneous habitats including litter of various types but also microhabitats such as mosses, fungal mats and grass patches.

In most microhabitats paint and tortoise absorptances differed, but operative temperatures were nearly identical within microhabitats no matter the absorptance used in the model.

The peak period of lineage accumulation in the group coincides with evolutionary partitioning of lineages with aquatic larvae into seepage, stream-edge, and stream microhabitats.

These factors may be particularly important for softshell turtles that are highly aquatic and often thermoregulate by burying in the substrate in shallow water microhabitats.

To assess differences in light filtration over a range of microhabitats, spectra were recorded under canopies of desert plants, tropical plants, and under unfiltered skylight.
