Concepts

The concept that co-occurring species occupy distinct positions in multidimensional nutrient space to minimize competition and facilitate coexistence

Differences between males and females in morphology, physiology, and/or behaviour resulting from differences in strength and shape of selection acting on each sex

Burying beetle reproductive strategy where pairs bury small carrion for breeding and larval development

A method using living organisms to determine what chemicals or nutrients are present in soil by measuring growth responses

Quantitative measurements of beak characteristics including length, width, and curvature

Evidence of marine or estuarine conditions during sediment deposition based on presence of marine taxa

Successful production of larvae that develop to feeding stage on buried carcasses

Sound production in insects by rubbing body parts together, in burying beetles occurs when plectrum on elytra rubs against par stridens on abdomen
