Plants produce a conspicuous structural diversity of metabolites and represent the largest source of active compounds; they are perhaps the earliest source of drugs for human use [ 5].
To study the relationship between the conspicuous genetic diversity gradient found in the Pyrenean desman and possible glacial refugia, we built a species distribution model based on the known-presence localities of G. pyrenaicus.
These conspicuous declines in diversity are referred to as mass extinctions; they are distinguished from the majority of extinctions, which occur continually and are referred to as background extinction.
A conspicuous successional pattern in diversity was found by studying new, mature, and senescent vents at JFR.
Within the bivalves, the bathymodiolin mussels are conspicuous for the huge diversity of symbionts found within an individual host's tissues.
"How could I? I wrote against sacred cows, such as the cult of diversity, affirmative action, conspicuous compassion and radical participatory democracy.
This linguistic diversity is especially conspicuous in fragmented areas such as the Philippines and Indonesia and in highland and remote areas on the mainland, and it has been a retarding factor in national integration and development.
Collectively, shifts in reproductive traits promote a conspicuous reduction in the functional diversity of tree assemblages in fragmented landscapes, which may strongly influence forest dynamics and the persistence of biodiversity.
The most conspicuous and well-studied aspect of this diversity is the variation, convergence, and mimicry of wing-color patterns present both within and between species [ 6, 9, 16- 21].
