The law requires federal agencies to ensure that actions they authorize, fund, or carry out are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any listed species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of designated critical habitat of such species (United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service 2011).
The Obama administration's policy could enable more habitat destruction by redefining "adverse modification" as only those actions considered to potentially harm the entirety of a species' designated critical habitat, a change that will give a green light to the many federal actions that destroy small portions of critical habitat.
Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to ensure that actions they authorize, fund, or carry out do not jeopardize the continued existence of an endangered species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat.
Inflammation accelerates subclinical atherosclerosis probably through adverse modification of the traditional CV risk factors [ 10].
Whether chronic inflammation can accelerate atherogenesis independently or mediate it via adverse modification of CV risk factors remains uncertain.
This report shows that it is possible to improve the resistance of apple cultivars through genetic engineering, without adverse modification of fruit characteristics during long term cultivation.
Additionally, it seems that housing modifications commonly provided a more supportive environment in a great deal of houses but on the contrary, modifications are disproving the "ideal home" assertion and in some families have adverse effects.
As the diabetic heart is more prone to adverse molecular modifications of proteins and lipids, impaired autophagy may be particularly harmful and thus a potential contributor to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (194).
Additionally, the use of recombinant viruses often is limited by the adverse effects of modifications on viral replication and assembly.
Last, the expert committee determined, for each ADR-SM case, the type of self-medication leading to the adverse event: self-modification of a prescribed treatment, discontinuation of treatment, non-prescribed drugs, or a drug interaction with non-prescribed drugs (i.e. self-prescription).
