the "requirement niche". The requirement niche is bounded by both the availability of resources as well as the effects of coexisting consumers (e.g. competitors and predators). === Coexistence under contemporary niche theory === Contemporary niche theory provides three requirements that must be met in order for two spe...

due to a decrease in between-species competition, the Lotka-Volterra model predicts that niche differentiation of any degree will result in coexistence. In reality, this still leaves the question of how much differentiation is needed for coexistence. A vague answer to this question is that the more similar two species ...

This list is not exhaustive, but illustrates several classic examples. ==== Resource partitioning ==== Resource partitioning is the phenomenon where two or more species divides out resources like food, space, resting sites etc. to coexist.

In organic chemistry, the Arndt–Eistert reaction is the conversion of a carboxylic acid to its homologue. It is named for the German chemists Fritz Arndt (1885–1969) and Bernd Eistert (1902–1978). The method entails treating an acid chloride with diazomethane. It is a popular method of producing β-amino acids from α-am...

In addition, primary diazoalkanes are very reactive, incompatible with acidic functionalities, and will react with activated alkenes including α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products. An alternative to the Arndt–Eistert reaction ...

Radiosensitivity is the relative susceptibility of cells, tissues, organs or organisms to the harmful effect of ionizing radiation. == Cells types affected == Cells are least sensitive when in the S phase, then the G1 phase, then the G2 phase, and most sensitive in the M phase of the cell cycle. This is described by th...

In electromagnetics, an evanescent field, or evanescent wave, is an oscillating electric and/or magnetic field that does not propagate as an electromagnetic wave but whose energy is spatially concentrated in the vicinity of the source (oscillating charges and currents). Even when there is a propagating electromagnetic ...

a surface wave. However, despite energy flowing horizontally, along the vertical there is no net propagation of energy away from (or toward) the surface, so that one could properly describe the field as being "evanescent in the vertical direction". This is one example of the context dependence of the term. Everyday ele...
