Talk:List of tree species by shade tolerance

message: I think as is, it should be merged with Shade tolerance, but maybe one should consider renaming it as a list of shade-tolerant and -intolerant species?

message: The internet visualisation of the OPTE page is dated 2005.  It is now 2015.  Has the internet remained robust and rugged, or has it contracted?  I have a suspicion that, in terms of laptops, it may very well have contracted.  If frequent time snap-shots of OPTE could be placed online, this would show how the internet has evolved in time AND it would also reveal geographical locations that have suffered from Natural Disasters and the like.  Political and legal changes would also have had an effect upon the structure (and hence visual representation) of the internet.  I will endeavour to raise more points - BUT if you can't find an OPTE internet timeline, perhaps other software visualisations could be mentioned/referred to by webpage?

replies: text: It is a technical term used by biologists, and to put that in the first sentence would be distracting to those who really want to know what it means in communication among biologists. "Blue" is a social construct, but we don't write that in the first sentence of a page about the colour. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 19:48, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Is "strain" a social concept and should we write this in the first sentence?

message: * Recently and rather old quote from 2012 has been inserted into the article that confuses more than clarifies: "It has been said that "there is no universally accepted definition for the terms 'strain', 'variant', and 'isolate' in the virology community, and most virologists simply copy the usage of terms from others".[2]" Whereas the "it" in it has been said is not qualified, like "somebody told me he has heard something and I share his Opinion.". No scientific arguments where given.
* COVID-19: Here's the difference between a variant and a strain is a bit more specific: “A new strain would cause much bigger concern around all the hard work that has been achieved up until now. Essentially, we would be set back to zero and we would be dealing with a new strain of virus circulating around the world. But, that’s not the case. This is a variant and it has some genetic changes. It represents viral evolution.” that gives us a hint, even though is is bad wording, because he should have said: "... Essentially, we would be set back to zero if we would be dealing with a new strain..."
* — "Covid: New strain, variant or mutation? What’s the difference?" "At a briefing organised by the UK’s Science Media Centre on Tuesday, Prof Tom Connor of the School of Biosciences at Cardiff University explained: “There is one strain of [SARS-CoV-2]. That is SARS-CoV-2. That is the single strain, and there are variants of that strain. These are variants.” Prof Connor said the term strain is often misused." This might be authoritative, because he is "Prof. of the School of Biosciences at Cardiff University" but it is not really explaining his opinion scientifically. He might be able to, but he did not. --Manorainjan 15:43, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Thallus

message: From the references to fungi, kelp, and more, with further details at Thallophyte, it is clear that much of the significance of this term is obsolete (referring to structures which are evolutionarily different in origin, and, one imagines, different in the details of their anatomy).  But does it also have a meaning which is more about the overall anatomy or function?  Our article at riverweed even uses the term thalloid for a flowering plant (although I'm not sure whether that is common terminology these days). Kingdon 15:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The term refers to a level of organization.  That is, a plant (or alga, etc.) whose body is a thallus has no leaves, stems, etc (i.e. no vascular tissue). More generally, an organism is thalloid if there are no structures visible that resemble leaves, stems, roots.  So a moss body is technically a thallus, but it is not thalloid.  A riverweed is thalloid, but not technically a thallus.  Duckweed is both thalloid and has a thallus (although evolutionarily reduced).  --EncycloPetey 22:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

If we follow Glottolog in following Güldemann's assessment, we have to treat Ubangi in the same way (regardless of it being deeply nested within NC in Glottolog). Güldemann has both Kru and Ubangi among his "promising" members or NC (on par with Dogon, Bangime and Pere). If we leave out Kru, we also have to leave out Ubangi, all the more since Dimmendaal considers Ubangi an isolate. –Austronesier (talk) 18:49, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
