But quantum theory ("quantum mechanics" is often regarded as a synonym, although strictly that refers to the mathematical methods developed to study quantum objects) suggests that, at least for tiny objects such as atoms and electrons, there may be no unique state before an observation is made: the object exists simultaneously in several states, called a superposition.
Quasispecies theory, although often invoked as a synonym for genetic diversity, generally argues against the maintenance of substantial phenotypic diversity, as the inevitable coupling of mutational neighbors should ultimately favor selection for canalized populations which exhibit phenotypic stability in the face of mutational change [ 6- 8].
Ditto that for "under" in place of "less than". "While" used as a synonym of "though" or "although" is a big peeve of readers who believe that it means only "during the period that". For example: While you were out, Mary slept.

In Nero 38.2, ad monumentorum bustorumque deversoria plebe compulsa, the word is contrasted with monumentorum and may perhaps be used in its proper sense; it is probably more naturally p364 taken as a synonym for sepulcrorum, although taking refuge in busta would emphasize the wretched plight of the commons.
As such, Ulster is often used as a synonym for Northern Ireland, although the two are not coterminous.
One author regarded C. dentatus as a synonym of Coccomyces coronatus, although later authors have treated them separately.
S, kryschtofovici (Riabinin, 1930) is not considered valid; either it is regarded as a dubious name, or as a synonym of S. angustirostris (although the name predates S. angustirostris).
PS involves making a choice based on a ranking process, although occasionally the term is used as a synonym for rationing or resource allocation [ 3, 4].
Although the term lipid is sometimes used as a synonym for fats, fats are a subgroup of lipids called triglycerides.
This species was assessed without comment as a synonym of Edmontosaurus regalis in two reviews, although atavus predates regalis by several decades.
