Even though the concepts, quantities and the explanations found in Orloci's books have a profound potential to serve in assessments of biological community data from ecological point of view, it is likely that the need for revisions and adjustments will come to light as applications progress.

Quantum analysis for biological communities using presence data

The term biodiversity is simple, but it describes an extremely important and complex property of a biological community. I often wonder how many people really understand what biodiversity means and how it is measured.

How is biodiversity measured?

The new experiments are the first to show that sounds affect the structure of a whole biological community, says behavioral ecologist John Swaddle at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va.

The biological community has traditionally looked down on this type of work, but it will be crucial for promoting the study of novel proteins.

Damage to the ecosystem - a biological community interacting with its nonliving environment - includes water pollution and reduced biological diversity, including the loss of certain plant species.

Historically, databases have arisen to satisfy diverse needs, whether it address a biological question of interest to an individual scientist, to better serve a particular section of biological community, to coordinate data from sequencing projects, or to facilitate drug discovery in pharmaceutical companies.
