There is long time interest about the phenology of plants and animals living in seasonal environments as research in that field would help to understand the coping mechanisms leading to a higher fitness. For instance, it has been shown several decades ago that birds prepare themselves 2-4 months before the actual start of the breeding season by slowly growing reproductive organs. In parallel, the resting metabolic rate increase during reproduction in various vertebrates including mammals, reptiles, and birds.

Ecophysiological differences between ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) enable them to adapt to different niches in complex freshwater wetland ecosystems. The community characters of AOA and AOB in the different niches in a freshwater wetland receiving municipal wastewater, as well as the physicochemical parameters of sediment/soil samples, were investigated in this study. AOA community structures varied and separated from each other among four different niches.

The unique properties of tree building in Arecaceae strongly constrain their architectural lability. Potentially compensating for this limitation, the extensive diversification of leaf anatomical structure within palms involves many characters whose alternate states may confer disparate mechanical or physiological capabilities. In the context of a recent global palm phylogeny, we analyzed the evolution of 10 such lamina anatomical characters and leaf morphology of 161 genera, conducting parsimony and maximum likelihood ancestral state reconstructions, as well as tests of correlated evolution.

The study presents an analysis of genotypic diversity in the genus Kalanchoe (Crassulaceae) on the level of Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequences and the attempt to correlate this diversity with previous findings on ecophysiological behavior, habitat preference, infrageneric taxonomic position of the species and DNA polymorphism derived from RAPD-PCR data. The Kalanchoe species are mainly abundant in Madagascar and eastern continental Africa and perform in situ diverse modes of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), an ecophysiologically relevant adaptation of photosynthesis. Total DNA was extracted from 68 Kalanchoe species and varieties.
