Understanding and predicting the consequences of these safety changes are challenges for the development of new drugs.
Studying the ecology of displaced species, especially the responses of their seed bank to disturbance, is important for understanding and predicting the consequences of climate change.
One might anticipate that descending (multimodal) predictions from the higher vocal centre would cause the bird to sing – and predict the consequences of its own action – thereby eliciting a soliloquy.
