As it takes in countries close to Russia, the provision of "soft security" will become a more conspicuous function of membership.
Due to the conspicuous metabolic function of CS and the appearance of the later gltA mutations specifically in Cit+ isolates, it was previously hypothesized that these mutations refined the Cit+ phenotype (Blount et al., 2012).
In the East African stream frog, Phrynobatrachus krefftii, the conspicuous yellow vocal sac functions as a dynamic visual signal in male male agonistic interactions even without calls being produced.
Hirschmann & Hödl (2006) showed that in Phrynobatrachus krefftii Boulenger, 1909 the conspicuous yellow vocal sac functions as a signal in male male agonistic interactions, even without calls within the human audible range being emitted.
As they scavenge on many dead species, they may also function as conspicuous sentinels in Africa, similar to the role of raptors or swans in Europe or cats in Indonesia (8 ).
Both pieces have conspicuous design elements which function, at times, almost independently of the ballets themselves.

Similar with Amaldoss and Jain (2005) and Tereyagoglu and Veeraraghavan (2012), we describe the customer utility with conspicuous consumption as a function of negative externalities.
The present study aims to shed light onto the structure and function of the conspicuous hyperoliid gular patch and its potential to bear a function in species recognition, mate choice, and also as a consequence in speciation.
Conspicuous examples of non-constant singular functions are the Lebesgue's Singular Function, also called the Cantor Function, and the (paradoxical) strictly increasing singular function [cfr. Takács (1978) for many examples].
