HABITAT ECOLOGY [9 records]

Record 1 2020-09-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of Documents and Works
  • Ecology (General)
  • Environmental Management
OBS

The IUCN Red List is a critical indicator of the health of the world's biodiversity. Far more than a list of species and their status, it is a powerful tool to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting the natural resources we need to survive. It provides information about range, population size, habitat and ecology, use and/or trade, threats, and conservation actions that will help inform necessary conservation decisions.

Key term(s)

English

Subject field(s)
  • Climatology
  • Ecology (General)
DEF

The climate as an ecological factor; the climate of a habitat.

CONT

In the study of insect ecology we must... pay special attention to the climate of the actual habitat of the insect, or to the ecoclimate, as I would suggest that the sum-total of meteorological factors within a habitat should be called.

CONT

The scientists under Dr John Kirmiz have determined this mixture the eco-atmosphere, in line with their previous studies of the jerboa’s ecoclimate.

Record 3 2011-10-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ecology (General)
DEF

The science of the relationship between animals and plants; that branch of biology which deals with the relations of living organisms to their surroundings, their habits and modes of life, etc.

CONT

The ecology of a glacial lake.

CONT

The study of such interactions under the given conditions of habitat is the most important part of what is called plant ecology.

OBS

Not to be confused with "bionomics" (or "bionomy"), a very closely related term considered by many authors as a perfect synonym of "ecology".

OBS

ecology: term standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écologie (Généralités)
DEF

Science qui étudie les milieux où vivent et se reproduisent les êtres vivants, ainsi que les rapports de ces êtres avec le milieu.

OBS

L'écologie se subdivise en plusieurs branches : l'autoécologie, la synécologie, mais aussi la bioclimatologie, l'écophysiologie, la biocénotique, la dynamique des populations, l'écogénétique, la biogéographie et bien des aspects étudiés traditionnellement en agronomie.

OBS

écologie : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

OBS

bionomie : Ce terme est parfois considéré comme un synonyme, parfois considéré comme un synonyme vieilli, et parfois considéré comme un générique par rapport à écologie.

PHR

Écologie agricole, animale, éthologique, forestière, humaine, marine, quantitative, végétale.

PHR

Écologie d'une espèce, d'un milieu.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

Record 4 2011-01-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Neology and Linguistic Borrowing
DEF

A child or young person who is conservation-conscious and environmentally active.

CONT

These determined do-gooders are just a few of America’s ecokids, the new generation of conservation-conscious, environmentally active schoolchildren.

OBS

This neologism has been formed by derivation. The combining form "eco-, "which represents "ecology, ""environment, ""nature, "or "natural habitat, "has been added to the word "kid, "which means child or young person.

OBS

The word "gosse" has been used in the proposed translation because its level of language, "familier"3 maintains the level of language of "kid," which, when "kid" refers to a child or a young person, is informal.

Subject field(s)
  • Neology and Linguistic Borrowing
DEF

An oral or written communication containing important principles or counsels regarding ecology or the environment.

CONT

Bombarded with ecomessages in school, the press, on TV and in pop-music lyrics, the children have become convinced that they were put on the planet for the express purpose of saving it.

OBS

This neologism has been formed by derivation. The combining form "eco-, "which represents "ecology, ""environment, ""nature, "or "natural habitat, "has been added to the word "message".

Subject field(s)
  • Mammals
Universal entry(ies)
CONT

Forest hogs are naturally retiring, and their shy and essentially nocturnal behaviour, coupled with a relatively low density population and forest habitat, accounts for the rather poor understanding of their ecology and behaviour over most of their range.

OBS

An African mammal of the family Suidae.

  • Ecology (General)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

A method to quantify the effects of alterations of streamflow on the aquatic ecosystem.

CONT

Instream Flow Incremental Methodology(IFIM) and Physical Habitat Simulation(PHABSIM). IFIM is a process for evaluating instream flows in the context of the entire ecology of the watershed, including hydrology, geography, and biology. PHABSIM is a modeling approach and tool for use within(or separate from) IFIM.

CONT

The best known method used for fish communities is the "Instream Flow Incremental Methodology" or IFIM developed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service at Fort Collins ...

DEF

[...] méthode [qui] consiste à coupler les paramètres physiques et les préférences des poissons pour prédire l'habitat disponible à différents débits.

CONT

La méthode des microhabitats a été définie dans ses grands principes par Waters (1976), puis améliorée et informatisée par Bovec (1982), aux États-Unis, sous la dénomination de «Instream Flow Incremental Methodology» ou IFIM. La méthode IFIM permet de prédire la quantité d'habitat disponible d'une portion de cours d'eau en fonction de différents paramètres retraçant les conditions hydrodynamiques. Le module principal consiste en une «simulation physique de l'habitat» selon la dénomination anglo-saxonne : Physical HABitat SIMulation ou PHABSIM [...]. Depuis 1985, une méthode semblable a été développée par le Laboratoire d'Hydroécologie Quantitative du CEMAGREF et adaptée aux cours d'eau français [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Ecology (General)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses

CONT

The hydraulic component is PHABSIM (physical habitat simulation), a set of computer programs that simulate hydraulic conditions and (with recent modifications) water quality at different flows, based upon field data and river hydraulic principles. In tandem, PHABSIM and HSI models are used to estimate the habitat availability for fish at different flows.

CONT

Instream Flow Incremental Methodology(IFIM) and Physical Habitat Simulation(PHABSIM).
