For the particle properties inputs, we considered a low size diameter of 5 nm, a high diameter of 100 nm, a low GSD of 1 (monodisperse diameter distribution), and a high GSD of 4 (polydisperse diameter distribution).
If one accepts in this case isochores reaching a low size value of 100 Kb, the very long L1 structures are resolved into shorter stretches and the high size values are brought back to the 0.5-1 Mb range.
We observed high stability (see Supplementary Fig. S2 for details), except when (as expected) we used a low Size threshold of 3 and did not perform any shuffling, which resulted in artifactual phylotypes.
This, in addition to a still low size of the incipient species and the specific environment of the new niche, puts the population in a critical situation.
Such a small size of the low dimensional structures can further improve the electron/ion transfer efficiency.
Furthermore, the study was limited by a low sample size of elbow specimens that were tested, so results regarding significance of the data should be interpreted with caution.
Because of the ASY-biased age structure for rock ptarmigan, we had a low sample size of SY females to estimate the mean and variance in the number of hatched young they produced.
The study by van Gils et al. (24 ) had a low sample size of infected birds.
Despite a low sample size of only seven An. coluzzii among the dead mosquitoes, a significant difference in the genotype distribution could be observed compared with the resistant mosquitoes.
Invasive species, which thrive in their introduced environment, thus overcome this hypothetical lack of adaptation, despite a probable low size and genetic variability of the introduced propagule.
