What is a riparian forest? Definition: Alluvial forests are defined as vegetation zones along rivers and streams that are subject to frequent changes of high and low tide. Often these biotopes are also known under the synonymous term meadow forest. The word "Aue" originally comes from the Old German and means something like "land on the water".

Gendrift Gendrift is the random change in the genotype of a specific allele within a population. Especially in small populations, gene drift is important because alleles can disappear from the gene pool of the population relatively quickly. But the exact opposite is also possible, namely that certain genes suddenly appear extremely frequently in a population, for example after natural disasters, when only a few individuals have survived and many of them carry a previously rare allele in itself.
Definition: B lymphocytes (B cells) belong to the group of white blood cells and are part of the acquired immune defense. Their most important function is the secretion of antibodies. Only B cells are capable of producing antibodies. Incidentally, the 'B' in the name stands for Bursa fabricii, a lymphoid organ in birds that is used to produce B cells.
