area curve in a sentence

Examples

1. The roughness trace is on the left, the amplitude distribution curve is in the middle, and the bearing area curve ( Abbott-Firestone curve ) is on the right.
2. A "'species area curve "'describes the relationship between the area of a habitat, or of part of a habitat, and the number of species found within that area.
3. Nagoya's goal came in the second minute when a free kick by French midfielder Franck Durix well outside the penalty area curved past goalie Masahiko Nakagawa into the net.
4. In the first part of the 20th century, plant ecologists often used the species area curve to estimate the minimum size of a quadrat necessary to adequately characterize a community.
5. Classic ecological questions amenable to study through the techniques of macroecology include questions of species richness, latitudinal gradients in species diversity, the species-area curve, range size, body size, and species abundance.
6. The main tool used by biologists to calculate current extinction rates is a longstanding formula called the species-area curve, which gives an estimate of species lost for a given area of habitat destroyed.
7. In another calculation, Pimm and his colleagues matched data on extinct and soon-to-be-extinct bird species in various parts of Southeast Asia where deforestation has proceeded at different rates against the number of extinctions that would be predicted there by the species-area curve.
8. The dominant trait of taillessness arises from a spontaneous mutation, the "'Manx taillessness gene "', that eventually became common on the island because of the limited genetic diversity of island biogeography ( an example of the founder effect and, at, of the species-area curve ).
9. Just as the Japanese Bobtail and tailless-to-short-tailed Manx arose independently on islands a world apart, the Kurilian's bobbed tail may be an isolated spontaneous mutation that became common on the Kuril and Sakhalin islands because of the limited genetic diversity of island biogeography ( an example of the founder effect and, at, of the species-area curve ).
