Assessing the biological complementarity of studies is important when considering a meta-analysis.
Third, we focus on mercury, selected as a reference contaminant, in order to illustrate the main ecotoxicological concepts, the complementarity between field and laboratory studies, and the indispensable multidisciplinarity of the approaches.
See Gentzkow (2007) for a use of a related model in studying complementarity of new goods.
Second, based on descriptive analysis, correspondence analysis and multivariate probit models, we explore factors explaining the perception of obstacles, and study complementarities between those obstacles.
In ecological studies, complementarity effects occur because genetically different individuals compete less intensely for limiting resources than genetically similar individuals and as such, the overall productivity of a genetically heterogeneous population is higher than that of a genetically homogenous population [17].
Complementarity derives from studies of species composition and species richness.
Mapping such modifications in drug targets, complementarity with pharmacogenomics studies, helps understanding the underlying causes of variation in drug response among individuals.
In this study, the complementarity of in silico target predictions and proteochemometric modelling (PCM) was evaluated for the retrospective identification of P. falciparum DHFR inhibitors.
The underlying mechanisms were presumed to be complementarity in the first study [18] and negative sampling effects in the second [19], where communities were dominated by a species that did not contribute strongly to decomposition.
We found in our study a complementarity of CRP and PCT, with low specificity/high sensitivity for PCT and high sensitivity/low specificity for CRP.
