- Ecological footprint [r]: The sum of all resource-using or waste-producing activities of a biological unit, if converted to units of biologically productive land. [e]
- Edinburgh [r]: The capital of Scotland. [e]
- Environmental geography [r]: Examines interlinkages between human and natural systems. [e]
- Epidemiology [r]: The branch of demography that studies patterns of disease in human or animal populations. [e]
- Ethnic group [r]: A population whose members identify with one another as distinct from others. This usually occurs through a perceived common history, and often also includes shared culture, race, religion, or language. [e]
- Frederick Twort [r]: (1877 – 1950) - English bacteriologist who discovered that bacteriophages are viruses that attack and destroy bacteria. [e]
- Gene flow [r]: The movement of genetic alleles from one population to another. If there is a low gene flow between two populations they may become distinct species. [e]
- Genetics [r]: The study of the inheritance of characteristics, genes and DNA. [e]
- Germany [r]: Federal republic in central Europe (population c. 82.4 million; capital Berlin), with the North Sea, Denmark and the Baltic Sea to the north; Poland and the Czech Republic to the east; France, Switzerland and Austria to the south; and Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands to the west; founding member of the European Union. [e]
- Habitat [r]: Place where an organism or a biological population normally lives or occurs. [e]
- Landscape ecology [r]: Science of studying and improving the relationship between spatial pattern and ecological processes on a multitude of landscape scales and organizational levels. [e]
- Maharashtra [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Malthusianism [r]: A theory in demography which holds that population expands faster than food supplies and famine will result unless steps are taken to reduce population growth. [e]
- Metapopulation [r]: A group of spatially separated populations of the same species which interact at some level. [e]
- Microsatellite [r]: Polymorphic loci present in nuclear and organellar DNA that consist of repeating units of 1-6 base pairs in length. [e]
- OCLC [r]: A nonprofit, membership, computer library service and research organization, founded in 1967 as the Ohio College Library Center. [e]
- Phage ecology [r]: Study of the interaction of bacteriophages with their environments. [e]
- Plant breeding [r]: The purposeful manipulation of plant species in order to create desired genotypes and phenotypes for specific purposes, such as food production, forestry, and horticulture. [e]
- Pollen [r]: Fine to coarse powder consisting of microgametophytes, which produce the male gametes of seed plants. [e]
- Population ecology [r]: Sub-field of ecology concerning dynamics of species populations and their interactions with the environment. [e]
- Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh [r]: The husband of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. [e]
- Quiverfull [r]: A Protestant, Evangelical movement that advocates large families and no birth control. [e]
- Sex-determination system [r]: A biological process that determines the development of sexual gender. [e]
- Theoretical biology [r]: The study of biological systems by theoretical means. [e]
- Transgenic plant [r]: Plants that have been genetically modified by inserting genes directly into a single plant cell, from a different species. [e]
- Transposon [r]: Blocks of conserved DNA that can occasionally move to different positions within the chromosomes of a cell. [e]
