He has previously said that the terms "conservative" and "conservation" had a common root – both involved "keeping the best of what we have".
In today's world, the significance of energy and energy conservation is a common knowledge.
Such high levels of conservation suggest a common evolutionary origin [ 1].
Although there is a high frequency of glycine and small residues in the 58 TM helix sequences of the human RTKs, direct conservation of a common interaction motif is not apparent.
This high degree of interspecific sequential, functional and transcriptional conservation suggests a common role for ORs in these mosquito species, and their persistence in T. amboinensis further suggests that this role ranges beyond host-seeking.
Based on the regional nucleotide sequence conservation and a common tendency to exhibit a localized increase in GC content, we hypothesize that a tRNA gene set comprising tRNAMet, tRNAAsn, and tRNASer was horizontally acquired by an ancestral ViI-like phage at some stage during its evolutionary history.
For example, in the Bring Your Own Cassava project (Table 1), students engage in research that is literally in their backyards and contribute to the understanding of an important local issue the conservation of a common food in Puerto Rico, the cassava plant (Montero Rojas et al., 2011).
The slight promiscuity of these enzymes can possibly be attributed to the structural similarities between these substrates and the conservation of a common metal-binding motif and core fold among members of the phosphomonoesterase protein family, which includes various inositol phosphatases, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, and the E. coli CysQ (33).
The purchase of private land for conservation purposes is a common way to prevent the exploitation of sensitive ecological areas.
Despite conservation education being a common strategy, there was very little evidence provided of the reasoning of individuals and subsequent behaviour changes from education programs.
