Biological factors can also influence landforms — for example, note the role of vegetation in the development of dune systems and salt marshes, and the work of corals and algae in the formation of coral reefs.

Biological samples are more complex to analyze because of factors such as the matrix effect and the metabolism and conjugation of the target compounds.

* Biological factors ( such as brain injury, epilepsy, illicit and prescribed drug and alcohol misuse )

Biological factors also contribute to the breakdown of certain pollutants.

Biological agents are, moreover, suitable for delivery through enemy sabotage which imposes many problems in defense.

Biological anthropologists are interested in both human variation and in the possibility of human universals ( behaviors, ideas or concepts shared by virtually all human cultures ) They use many different methods of study, but modern population genetics, participant observation and other techniques often take anthropologists " into the field ," which means traveling to a community in its own setting, to do something called " fieldwork.

* Biological Systems Engineering ( a major which may also be called Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Biological and Environmental Engineering, etc.

Though herbicides are chemicals, they are often grouped with biological warfare and chemical warfare because they may work in a similar manner as biotoxins or bioregulators and also because the Army Biological Laboratory tested them and the Army's Technical Escort Unit which all chemical, biological, radiological ( nuclear ) materials.

The late author Sheldon H. Harris in his book " Factories of Death: Japanese Biological Warfare, 1932-1945, and the American cover up " wrote that, The test program, could be part of Project AGILE or Project OCONUS which began in fall 1962 and which was funded at least through fiscal year 1963, was considered by the Chemical Corps to be “ an ambitious one .” The tests were designed to cover “ not only trials at sea, but Arctic and tropical environmental tests as well .” The tests, presumably, were conducted at what research officers designated, but did not name, “ satellite sites .” These sites were located both in the continental United States and in foreign countries.

The US military has specialized units, which can respond to a bioterrorism event ; among them are the US Marine Corp's Chemical Biological Incident Response Force and the U. S. Army's 20th Support Command ( CBRNE ), which can detect, identify, and neutralize threats, and decontaminate victims exposed to bioterror agents.

General limitations about the structure and philosophy of CITES include: by design and intent it focuses on trade at the species level and does not address habitat loss, ecosystem approaches to conservation, or poverty ; it seeks to prevent unsustainable use rather than promote sustainable use ( which generally conflicts with the Convention on Biological Diversity ), although this has been changing ( see Nile Crocodile, African elephant, South African white rhino case studies in Hutton and Dickinson 2000 ).

189 countries which are signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity ( Rio Accord ) have committed to preparing a Biodiversity Action Plan, a first step at identifying specific endangered species and habitats, country by country.

Critics, including the Center of Biological Diversity and New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, were concerned the jaguar was being sacrificed for the government's new border fence, which is to be built along many of the cat's typical crossings between the United States and Mexico.

The John Anderson school collapsed soon after Agassiz's death, but is considered a precursor of the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory, which is nearby.

However, the American Institute of Biological Sciences also notes bones of dead elephants, left on the ground and subsequently trampled by other elephants, tend to bear marks resembling butchery marks, which have previously been misinterpreted as such by archaeologists.

The act yielded textbooks, produced in cooperation with the American Institute of Biological Sciences, which stressed the importance of evolution as the unifying principle of biology.

* Biological: An infectious agent, such as anthrax spores, is dispersed, which is designed to sicken or kill humans.

In 1992 was held the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, in which several countries committed to protect the environment, signing a Convention on Biological Diversity.

) Series of mutants, named Ler-x, Col-x, have been obtained and characterized ; mutant lines are generally available through stock centers, of which best known are the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Center-NASC and the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center-ABRC in Ohio, USA.

* Natural Sciences Information on the Natural Sciences degree programme at the University of Bath which includes the Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Pharmacology, Physics and Environmental Studies.

The College of Arts, Letters, and Science was composed of twenty majors in five " Divisions ": Biological Sciences, Fine Arts, Humanities, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences ( which transformed into the present-day " Schools ").

This type of warfare is distinct from Nuclear warfare and Biological warfare, which together make up NBC, the military acronym for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical ( warfare or weapons ), all of which are considered " weapons of mass destruction " ( WMD ).

Biological weapons may be employed in various ways to gain a strategic or tactical advantage over an adversary, either by threats or by actual deployments.

Biological females may undergo vaginectomy, while males may undergo penectomy.

* Biological fatherthe natural father, or procreator of a child, who may or may not take part in the child's up-bringing.

Biological SSSIs may be selected for various reasons, governed by published SSSI Selection Guidelines.

Biological toxicity can be difficult to measure because the " threshold dose " may be a single organism.

Biological methods have also been proposed to control whitefly infestation, and may be paired with chemical methods.

Biological processes are employed in the treatment of wastewater and these processes may include, for example, aerated lagoons, activated sludge or slow sand filters.

Biological reasons for gender variances in flashbulb memory may be explained by amygdala asymmetry.

( The use of biological agents to kill crops may be illegal under the Biological Weapons Convention of 1975.

Biological clock may refer to:

2001 Biological Sciences ) that Macroscincus coctei was most closely related to the Mabuya genus of the Scincidae and may have constituted a clade.

The Barbary Falcon is one of the rare cases that may arguably be considered a species under the Biological, but certainly not under the Phylogenetic Species Concept rather than the other way around as usual.

Biological hazards may stem from the potential for legionella exposure at work or the investigation of biological injury or effects at work, such as dermatitis may be investigated.

Biological dispersal may be contrasted with geodispersal, which is the mixing of previously isolated populations ( or whole biotas ) following the erosion of geographic barriers to dispersal or gene flow ( Lieberman, 2005 ; Albert and Reis, 2011 ).

Biological psychiatry and other approaches to mental illness are not mutually exclusive, but may simply attempt to deal with the phenomena at different levels of explanation.

The AMX-10RC is equipped with an NBC ( Nuclear / Biological / Chemical ) protection system and may conduct reconnaissance in a radioactive environment.
