Specifically, it provides information on specific attributes of wetlands that can be used, along with information on species ranges, to help predict the assemblage of wildlife species most likely to...
In their modern context questions of heredity have come to be

the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
