### action | separation | division:

Fragmentation
* Most fragmentation reduces population size.
* Some fragmentation requires protein synthesis.
* affects the ecological integrity of forest habitat.
* also disrupts the distribution of owlets to new, vacant home ranges
  - occurs in annelid worms, turbellarians, and poriferans
* appears as the jagged resistance to moisture.
* are the primary source for debris which are too large to be shielded against.
* asexual method in spirogyra.
* can affect distribution and diversity of epiphytic orchids
  - allow for asexual reproduction
* causes local extinction of species within local populations
  - particular problems
* central weakness of the current environmental regime.
* common method of reproduction among echinoderms
  - mode of reproduction in algae, fungi and many land plants
* exposes each group to the risk of random extinction.
* gives rise to a neutral free radical component and an ion.
* happens when a particular sector or industry is controlled by numerous players.
* impedes migration and reduces the size of animal populations.
* includes both forest clearcuts and natural fragmentation by fires and avalanches.
* increases access for hunters and limits available hiding places for prey
  - the amount of edge and many nest predators prefer edges
* involves transformation.
* is an example of vegetative asexual reproduction
  - decomposition
  - described by increasing the number of fuel pieces while decreasing their diameter
  - explosions
  - storage
* is the breaking of a parent body into several pieces
  - the body into two parts with subsequent regeneration
  - main cause of tissue disruption
  - natural outgrowth of adding and deleting files on the hard disk
  - process by which quarks combine to form the particles seen in the laboratory
  - splitting up of the ecosystem into smaller parts
  - used in the cloning and propagation of many plant species
  - when an organism's arm, for example gets cut off and grows a new one
* isolates proportionally small populations, reducing genetic variability over time.
* kind of reproduction in which the body breaks into several pieces.
* leads to dispersals.
* means regeneration of an entire organism from a piece of the organism.
* natural side-effect of disk filing systems.
* normal process when a computer writes data to a hard disk.
* occurs in multicellular organisms, be it plants or animals
  - over time, as programs read from and write to the hard disk
* occurs when an organism breaks into pieces and each piece grows into a new individual
  - healthy areas of habitat are isolated from one another
  - the blocks of a file are allocated randomly across the disk
* pernicious problem when a program uses a single heap for all class objects.
* pervasive deterrent to the efficacy and quality of publicly-financed health care.
* process that is classified under vegetative reproduction in algae.
* product of development, the conversion of forested acreage to non-forest uses.
* recurring idea in literature about hypertext.
* results in lack.
* synonym for competition.
* usually occurs most often in fruticose lichen.

Forest fragmentation
* affects bird populations through both edge effects and area affects.
* increases nest predation in the Eurasian treecreeper.
