Synonym vicinity series#
In this series of articles, you will learn synonyms for commonly used words. This lowered efficiency of the predators is brought about by the increased severity and unpredictability of the physical environment, which in turn leads to regular or erratic escape of large seed or seedling cohorts from the predators. Synonyms are the words that have the same or very similar meaning. As one moves from the wet lowland tropics to the dry tropics or temperate zones, the seed and seedling predators in a habitat are hypothesized to be progressively less efficient at keeping one or a few tree species from monopolizing the habitat through competitive superiority. Either event will lead to more space in the habitat for other species of trees, and therefore higher total number of tree species, provided seed sources are available over evolutionary time. In short, any event that increases the efficiency of the predators at eating seeds and seedlings of a given tree species may lead to a reduction in population density of the adults of that species and/or to increased distance between new adults and their parents. A model is presented that allows detailed examination of the effect of different predators, dispersal agents, seed-crop sizes, etc. I propose that these three traits, in large part, are the result of the action of predators on seeds and seedlings. area district environs locality neighbourhood purlieus locale vicinage neighborhood precincts region surroundings territory. A high number of tree species, low density of adults of each species, and long distances between conspecific adults are characteristic of many low-land tropical forest habitats. Synonyms for VICINITY: area, nearby, ballpark, close, locality, nearness, propinquity, precinct, district, neighborhood, proximity, surroundings, vicinage.
