Because in different environments (urban, suburban, and rural) different channel models are applicable and, in this work, we do not focus on any particular environment, we used Friis free-space propagation model owing to its simplicity.
I attempt to avoid this ambiguity and for this paper define specialization to be a reduction in niche breadth associated with adaptation to any particular environment.
– R. D. Holt ([ 1], p. 9) As reflected in the epigraph, evolutionists generally assume that genetic adaptation to any particular environment is associated with the loss of fitness in dissimilar environments.
We have used comparative metagenomics to characterize the metabolic potential of different environments, and identify those genes, pathways, and subsystems that are more common in any particular environment [ 11].
If T h is known in advance, this concept can be used to determine the value of n, and hence the time required to produce mature seeds in any particular environment.
Evolution has yielded considerable functional diversity in each of the components that define plant water management and this, combined with the stochastic nature of rainfall, leads to a large range of potentially successful strategies in any particular environment.
