A measure of niche overlap calculated as SI = 1 - (1/2) Σᵢ |pᵢₖ - pⱼₖ| where values approach 1 when resource use curves coincide perfectly and approach 0 when they don't overlap

The proportion of cells undergoing division within a population

Use of passive integrated transponder tags for remote detection and tracking of individual animals without need for recapture

A measure comparing the proportion of prey in predator diet to proportion in environment to detect selection or avoidance

Statistical method used to identify the structuring factors driving life-history variation and to detect slow-fast continuum patterns

Measure of how effectively a sampling method captures target organisms relative to processing time and effort

Standard measure of organic biomass determined by ashing samples to remove inorganic material
