The Sierra de Tamaulipas is placed in the Tamaulipan Biotic Province because the fauna, especially of non-flying mammals, is closely related to that of the rest of the Province.
For dealing with the mammals of Tamaulipas in the following accounts the four Biotic Provinces (Tamaulipan, Potosian, Veracruzian, and Chihuahuan) of Dice are the most useful.
Still later (1949), Smith published a map of Mexican Biotic Provinces based on the herpetofauna of the Republic.
The mammals that occur on each side of the Sierra are listed in accounts of the Chihuahuan (west side), Veracruzian and Tamaulipan (east side) biotic provinces.
Potosian Biotic Province This Province occupies all of the Sierra Madre Oriental and, therefore, the southwestern part of the state.
The mammalia fauna of the Veracruzian Biotic Province is tropical in nature.
These mammals were listed in the account of the Chihuahuan Biotic Province.
The Northern route permitted species of mammals from the temperate region to the north to enter the Tamaulipan Biotic Province from or via Texas.
Most moved into Tamaulipas only as far as the Veracruzian Biotic Province.
Vegetation of most of the Veracruzian Biotic Province is Tropical Deciduous Forest.
Dice (1943) outlinedBiotic Provinces on a map of North America and in the northern part of Tamaulipas showed two Biotic Provinces, Tamaulipan and Potosian.
The vegetation of the Tamaulipan Biotic Province is in general Mesquite-grassland but in the Sierra San Carlos and Sierra de Tamaulipas other types of vegetation are found.
Tamaulipan Biotic Province This Province is recognized by most authors who have written about the zoogeography of Mexico.
The several mammals that are affected by this barrier are listed in the accounts of the Veracruzian and Tamaulipan biotic provinces.
He did not show the southeastern limits of the Chihuahuan Biotic Province nor any of the limits of the Veracruzian Biotic Province and in text mentioned nothing about the limits of these two provinces with reference to Tamaulipas.
Veracruzian Biotic Province This Province includes the southern part of the Coastal Plain physiographic region, south of the Sierra de Tamaulipas and Soto la Marina.
Naturally the presumption of miscibility holds in the absence of direct evidence; yet the presumption is at least partially countervailed by conspicuous biotic characters, such as color, stature, etc.
Absence of physiographic and biotic barriers in the corridor between these two basins probably allows for some gene flow between handleyi and grisescens, and results in populations intermediate in color.
The transverse volcanic biotic province of central Mexico and its relationship to adjacent provinces.
The occurrence of any physical or bioticbarrier that would have separated this homogeneous group would be conducive to speciation.
At scattered points along the crest of the range and on the desert slope, the Nevadan Biotic Province is represented by the sagebrush scrub association.
The Southern Desert Biotic Province occurs below 6000 feet elevation on the interior slope of the range, and markedly influences the mammal fauna of this slope.
Forming a hiatus between the Pacific and the desert slope is the Sierran Biotic Province consisting of coniferous forests on the crest of the range.
Within these zones certain ecologic communities can be recognized; these represent several biotic provinces.
Activity and distribution of certain wild mice in relation to the biotic community.
He stated that the entire biotic association, rather than any single factor, was the key to the distribution of the voles.
The mammal fossils found in Fossil Basin are also important in documenting the temporal changes in evolution and environment of the biotic community.
There must be an all-potent energy transformation before we can get chemical energy out of physical energy, and then biotic energy out of chemical energy.
Professor Moore says this biotic energy "arises in colloidal structures," and so far as biochemistry can make out, arises spontaneously and gives rise to that marvelous bit of mechanism, the cell.
The secret of this life force, or biotic energy, according to Professor Moore, is in the keeping of matter itself.
The evolution of thebiotic and the psychic worlds in these horizons is an essential part of the history of the whole, for each factor has reacted powerfully on the others.
These contact zones are, in a special sense, the province of geography in both its physical and its biotic aspects.
In our literature survey we found records of biotic associations for about 400 species.
For that reason the annotations have not been repeated herein, although the records have been included to make the listing of the bioticassociates of cockroaches substantially complete.
With the above discussion in mind we have summarized below the various biotic associations of cockroaches.
Whatever its defects, this review should be a unified source of information for all who are interested in the biotic associates of cockroaches.
In classifying the biotic associates of cockroaches, we were immediately confronted with a problem in semantics.
These associate-centered classifications serve admirably to relate various species of cockroaches within common bounds, but fail to give an integrated account of the total biotic relationships in the ecology of each species.
Thus the biotic features of the area are not noticeably different from those at El Sabino and La Playa at lower elevations.
The investigations are concerned primarily with desert ecology--with the identification of biotic communities and of predominant animal species.
It takes a thorough knowledge of a species and of its relationships with the biotic and abiotic environment to make effective management decisions.
Thus, differences in time and energy use between species should reflect adaptation to different biotic and abiotic environments.
The shaded area in Kansas that is outside the Deciduous Forest Formation comprises the Kaw River District, Cherokee Prairie District, and southern Osage Savannah Biotic District (Cockrum, 1952).
Conversely the skink is excluded from the Short Grass Plains and Mixed Grass Plains Biotic Districts which occupy nearly all of the western three-fourths of the state.
Each of these has varying combinations of physical andbiotic factors that are important in the ecology of amphibians.
These smaller animals, however, exert less powerful effects in controlling the general aspect of the biotic community, and affect it in different directions.
The flora and fauna both are undergoing successional changes which will continue for a long time and probably will culminate in a biotic community much different from the original climax.
Therefore a study made on a limited area within one biotic community, on a year round basis, and correlated with changes in the habitat should be of greatest value.
Being euryphagous, crows exert a stabilizing influence on many kinds of prey and on the biotic community as a whole.
These birds are widely distributed and vary geographically without corresponding to the Biotic Provinces.
In my study of the distribution of the avifauna of Coahuila, I found that the three biotic provinces listed by Goldman and Moore (op.
The major part of this bioticarea lies within the Lower Sonoran Life-zone.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "biotic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
