A barograph is a barometer that records the barometric pressure over time in graphical form. This instrument is also used to make a continuous recording of atmospheric pressure. (Wikipedia, 2024. Barograph. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barograph)
Good agricultural practices (GAP) are broadly defined as applying available knowledge to addressing environmental, economic, and social sustainability for on-farm production and post-production processes resulting in safe and quality food and non-food agricultural products. (FAO. 2003. Development of a Framework for Good Agricultural Practices. Committee on Agriculture, Seventeenth Session, Rome, 31 March-4 April 2003, COAG/2003/6. [Cited 1 November 2024].

A reef growing offshore from a land mass and separated from the shoreline, often by a lagoon or estuary. (United States. National Marine Fisheries Service. 2006. NOAA Fisheries glossary. NOAA tech. memo. NMFS F/SPO ; 69 https://repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/12856)
Metabolism (e.g., heat production) of an organism in an inactive, awake, fasting state. It may be determined directly by means of a calorimeter or indirectly by calculating the end products of oxidation within the organism or from the amount of oxygen utilized. (MeSH, 2024. Basal Metabolism https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68001481)
Granular leukocytes characterized by a relatively pale-staining, lobate nucleus and cytoplasm containing coarse dark-staining granules of variable size and stainable by basic dyes. (MeSH, 2024. Basophils https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68001491)
