The effect of earthworm presence was not very large, but it does show that multispecies tests might give information about metal toxicity or bioavailability that cannot be predicted from single-species tests.
Data from both single- and multidose studies may reveal saturable elimination if steady-state kinetics cannot be predicted from single-dose data.
The kinetics of cell populations expressing both recombinant proteins in coinfections could not have been predicted from single infection data or from the Poisson distribution based on theoretical considerations.
These double knockouts cannot be predicted from the single knockout/reaction coupling data alone.
Such so-called 'emergent properties' of networks are features displayed by the whole network, but cannot be predicted from any single network element.
The results presented here confirm that the expectation that the response of coastal ecosystems to increasing or decreasing nutrient concentrations can be predicted from a single general relationship is unsupported.
Correlational selection can be of import such that the overall genetic response is greater or less than would be predicted from analyses of single traits in isolation (Hard 2004; Walsh et al. 2006; Law 2007).
Co-occuring abiotic stresses trigger complex responses that cannot be predicted from the effect of single stresses (Prasch and Sonnewald, 2015), especially at the level of transcriptional regulation.
Thus, behavioral performance in visual, auditory, or motor tasks (Sparks et al., 1976; Georgopoulos et al., 1986; Lee et al., 1988) is known to be much more accurate than would be predicted from the responses of single neurons (Paradiso, 1988).
Most certainly, the 70% meningitis infection rate in the surviving animals exposed to the nine-compound mixture cannot be predicted from exposure to the single pesticides, where disease rates were zero.
