Future work on the 'strong centromere' hypothesis should therefore focus on how centromere size influences recruitment of Spindle Assembly Checkpoint proteins and Chromosomal Passenger Complex components to the centromere/kinetochore, both pathways having a potential impact on the ability of the homologue pair to interact with and then destabilise spindle microtubules46,47,48.
Given the extremely wide size range of phytoplankton (∼seven orders of magnitude by mass, [8]) as well as their global importance as primary producers, there has been significant theoretical [9], [10] and empirical [11], [12], [13], [14] interest in understanding how phytoplankton size influences algal physiology and ecology (reviewed by [15], [16]).
It is unclear as to how particle size influences temporal availability of pMHCII on DCs.
Less clear is how population size influences the level of fitness an asexual population can attain.
To understand how capsid size influences L eq ∗, we varied the model capsid radius while holding the number of capsid charges fixed.
Samples with other dimensions were also prepared to investigate how particulate size influences disintegration rates, including 5 × 5 × 4, 4 × 4 × 4, and 3 × 3 × 3 mm, with a weight of 0.10, 0.06, and 0.03 g, respectively.
Large-scale movements of individual cells are central to animal morphogenesis, and the last decade has seen huge leaps forward in our understanding of the molecular control of force generation during animal morphogenesis [ 145, 146], but we know very little about how cell size influences these processes.
We also explain how size might influence competition for a carcass and explain in the Methods that the range in size of our experimental beetles closely matches the range we see in field caught beetles (subsection "Generation 1 manipulation of larval developmental environment via a parental effect" and Figure 1 figure supplement 2).
We analysed how visitors' group size influences the number and variety of birds observed during an educational activity directed to scholars, in a forested area where public access is otherwise restricted.
Second, we determined how initial aggregate size influences the emergence of mesodermal phenotypes (E−T+P+F+, E−T−P+/−F+, and E−T−P+F−) and discovered that colony forming cell (CFC) output was maximal with ∼100 cells per PSC aggregate.
