George Vaux, Jr.'s grandson Henry Vaux, Jr., (also an alpine photographer) noted the static nature of the glacier's alpine area, related to its short growing seasons.
Soil erosion rates in alpine regions are related to high spatial variability complicating assessment of risk and damages.
In contrast, P. novae-zelandiae is a more distantly related alpine species restricted to schist.
A useful catalogue of morphological features was provided by Slovin et al. [ 28], pertaining to F. vesca inbred line 5AF7, a yellow-fruited and runnerless 'Alpine' genotype closely related to 'Hawaii 4', which itself is a runnering variety.
The phylogenetic relationships of this highly diverse trechine fauna are unknown, but the two genera included here have been related to Alpine or Pyrenean taxa: Neotrechus is currently considered as close to the Alpine genus Orotrechus, whereas Adriaphaenops was considered a representative of the former Aphaenops lineage.
Fourth, tectonic compression related to Alpine mountain building may (or may not) have been important in creating an undulating landscape of growth folds and basins which diverted river courses and controlled areas of deposition.
We additionally used the bedrock topography map as a basis to calculate the erosional potential of the Alpine glaciers, which was related to the thickness of the LGM ice.
The two mountains, as well as Moslavačka gora, west of Pakrac, are possible remnants of a volcanic arc related to Alpine orogeny uplifting of the Dinaric Alps.
Second, many alpine species comprise closely related populations separated on geographically distant mountain ranges.
The types of injuries related to alpine skiing have changed over time, as the equipment and slope-grooming technologies have evolved.
Our study of 20mer tag profiles for two closely related NZ alpine Brassicaceae – Pachycladon enysii and Pachycladon fastigiatum – suggests that not only is tag sequencing superior to microarray analyses, but in some cases can be expected to have significant advantages over RNA-seq.
