Further, as individuals age, they may gain experience, which may be important for skill acquisition (Sharpe 2005), as well as providing information on their own fighting ability or the fighting ability of others in the population (Fawcett and Johnstone 2010).
Third, Npas2-deficient mice display mostly normal wheel-running activity [27] but take longer to acquire FAA [37], suggesting that NPAS2 is not essential for timekeeping in the LEO, but is important for acquisition of food entrainment in the FEO.
These data indicate that in MDA-MB-231 cells αv integrin is required for the expression of various mesenchymal markers that are important for acquisition of an aggressive and metastatic phenotype.
These observations raised the possibility of testing whether chromosomal arrangements are important for acquisition of the imprint in the mouse gene, or whether the block of miRNAs is the critical feature driving imprinting at this locus.
Research in children with language problems has focussed on verbal deficits, and we have less understanding of children's deficits with nonverbal sociocognitive skills which have been proposed to be important for language acquisition.
A number of root traits have been shown to be important for P acquisition in crops, including root hairs (Fohse et al. 1991; Gahoonia et al. 1997; Gahoonia and Nielsen 1998, 2003; Bates and Lynch 2000; Vandamme et al. 2013), traits affecting topsoil exploration such as axial root angle (Lynch and Brown 2001), and elongation of lateral roots with high specific root length (Zhu and Lynch 2004).
In addition, MRC2 is involved in chemotaxis and invasion [48] and could be important for the acquisition of those traits by cancer cells.
In zebrafish PGCs, controlling the level of the membrane cortex linker protein annexin was shown to be important for the acquisition of bleb-based motility [ 18 ].
However, it specifies 12 TonB-dependent iron scavenging receptors, which may be important for iron acquisition in soil and plant-associated environments.
A remarkable number of different root traits that have been demonstrated to be important for nutrient acquisition from a heterogeneous or 'patchy' nutrient environment under different experimental conditions (Hodge 2004; Cahill and McNickle 2011).
