  2. Recruitment (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recruitment_(biology)

    In population dynamics and community ecology, recruitment is the process by which individuals are added to a population. [1] Successful recruitment is contingent on an individual surviving and integrating within the population; in some studies, individuals are only considered to have been recruited into a population once they've reached a certain size or life stage.

  3. Silver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver

    In group 11, silver has the lowest first ionization energy (showing the instability of the 5s orbital), but has higher second and third ionization energies than copper and gold (showing the stability of the 4d orbitals), so that the chemistry of silver is predominantly that of the +1 oxidation state, reflecting the increasingly limited range of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion

    Adhesion is the tendency of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another. (Cohesion refers to the tendency of similar or identical particles and surfaces to cling to one another.)

    Efforts are made to preserve the natural characteristics of Hopetoun Falls, Australia, without affecting visitors' access.. The term conservation biology and its conception as a new field originated with the convening of "The First International Conference on Research in Conservation Biology" held at the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla, California, in 1978 led by American ...

  6. Genetic admixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_admixture

    Admixture mapping is a method of gene mapping that uses a population of mixed ancestry (an admixed population) to find the genetic loci that contribute to differences in diseases or other phenotypes found between the different ancestral populations. The method is best applied to populations with recent admixture from two populations that were ...

  7. Dalton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton_(unit)

    For these and other reasons, in 1961 the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), which had absorbed the ICAW, adopted a new definition of the atomic mass unit for use in both physics and chemistry; namely, ⁠ 1 / 12 ⁠ of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. This new value was intermediate between the two earlier definitions, but ...

  8. Minimum viable population - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_population

    Minimum viable population (MVP) is a lower bound on the population of a species, such that it can survive in the wild. This term is commonly used in the fields of biology , ecology , and conservation biology .

  9. DNA microarray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_microarray

    How to use a microarray for genotyping. The video shows the process of extracting genotypes from a human spit sample using microarrays. Genotyping is a major use of DNA microarrays, but with some modifications they can also be used for other purposes such as measurement of gene expression and epigenetic markers.
