The genus Leptospira contains pathogenic and saprophytic species that differ in their capacity for survival in a vast array of environments that range from soil and water [1] to the tissues of mammalian hosts during acute and chronic infection [2].
To survey natural trait variation in S. pombe, isolates were subjected to high-resolution quantification of proliferative ability in an array of environments representing variations in nutrient availability, temperature, and exposure to toxic metals and drugs.
Anopheles gambiae is present virtually everywhere in sub-Saharan Africa, populating the array of environments typically found on this continent and transmitting malaria to humans in remote rural areas as well as in large cities.
It has been found in a wide array of environments including rivers, soil samples, refrigerated beef and aviation fuel tanks [ 1, 2].
However, S. cerevisiae also exhibits strong population structure, potentially facilitated by its low rate of outcrossing, i.e., mating between unrelated parents (Ruderfer et al. 2006), low rate of migration, or local adaptation to the diverse array of environments from which it has been isolated (Fay and Benavides 2005).
The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is comprised of at least 17 related species [1] that have been isolated from a broad array of environments including soil, plant rhizospheres, freshwaters, sterile solutions, cosmetics, and plastics [2].
Company Summary Bionex, Inc. is in the business of developing and marketing proprietary biometric technology used for transaction- and identity-verification in an array of environments.
Strains were subjected to high-throughput phenotyping by microcultivation (n = 2) in an array of environments essentially as described (Warringer et al. 2008; Warringer and Blomberg 2003).
These results, combined with the ability to reprogram the system for different recognition tasks, serve to create a system capable of performing real-time speech recognition in a vast array of environments.
In general, common ravens live in a wide array of environments but prefer heavily contoured landscapes.
