What is the ecology of resurrection?
The term ecology of resurrection is used to describe two different areas of practice. The first is the hatching of sleeping eggs still a living species in the previous stage of its development. The second is the act of bringing subspecies back from extinction by introducing related subspecies into the original environment and letting it naturally develop. Over the past few years, several important biologists have written papers that suggest their experience and achievements with this type of resurrection ecology. These eggs, so far only insects and plankton, are brought back to life and hatched in incubators. The results are stunning.
The type of zooplankton, daphnia retocurva caused the most buzz. The eggs of these tiny creatures were found almost a hundred years ago, and when they hatched, the creatures that appear significantly differ from Daphnia Retrocurva today. It is a film of evolution over time and helped solve some long -term debates in the field of evolutionary biology.
Maybe even more exciting than the answers that have been discovered by the ecology of the Resurrection is one of its practical applications. The problem occurs in renewal work, where the species that originally inhabited the region has developed so well to deal with human disturbances that they are no longer viable in the renewed environment.
Resurrection ecology offers an easy solution to this problem. Where the sleeping eggs are available, the "version" of the animal from the past can be revived and re -established by the downified environment. It is as if we could go back, not just the conversion of an unaffected natural environment, but by the transport of creatures from the past to the present.
The term ecology of resurrection is also used to describe another way of solving this same problem. When the subspecies disappear, most often due to the loss of its only habitat, it can leave a number of related subspecies, adapted to survive in different environments.
If the land habitat is renewedWater subspecies, scientists can often use evolution in their favor to restore extinct subspecies. By finding a close relative in a slightly different environment and by transplanting this subspecies into the newly renewed habitat, the ideal conditions are created to create almost identical subspecies that were originally disappeared. Although these "new" subspecies are not always exactly the same, the results may be close enough to see the real resurrection.
