This distinction was also reflected in the contrasting degree of population subdivision recorded when India was either included (Table S4, 55.11%, AMOVA I) or excluded (among population, 3.04%, AMOVA II) from our analyses, so supporting earlier suggestions that C. sphinx in India and China probably belong to different subspecies [41].
Since colonization rates depend not only on dispersal abilities, but also on the geographic configuration of habitats, a potential confounding factor could be the differential distribution of suitable habitat between lotic and lentic environments (e.g., a contrasting degree of spatial clustering or a spatial correlation of habitat availability with latitude).
The unexpected equivalence of both modal slopes and surface velocities between these lithologically distinct ranges is attributed to contrasting degrees of surface fracturing that have differentially affected the intact rock properties, such that they now yield equivalent surface velocities and hillslope-scale strengths.
To explain the physiological responses of apple plants to alkali stress (non-stressed control, pH 6.0 ± 0.1, versus alkali stress treatment, pH 9.0 ± 0.1), we used hydroponics culturing to study the performance of two rootstocks with contrasting degrees of alkali tolerance.
The successful march of the top-seeded players in the U.S. Open continued here Friday with contrasting degrees of drama.
The major axis of shape variation among phyllostomid species (first shape principal component) ordinates species with contrasting degrees of rostral elongation.
Heat tolerance was assessed in pairs of species differing in their ability to regulate gas exchange (i.e. with contrasting degrees of respiratory control).
Lang et al. [ 17] used a microarray containing 1675 ESTs from Crassostrea gigas and C. virginica to characterize the transcriptomic response of different families of the Pacific oyster showing contrasting degrees of thermotolerance.
Although these three drugs exhibit contrasting degrees of lipophilicity (log P: −2, −1.5 and 1.0, respectively) and protein binding (25%, 84%and58%8%, respectively), it should be noted that the least protein-bound and lipophilic drug of the three drugs—ampicillin had the best recovery profile at 24 hours, despite its instability issues.
We, therefore, conclude that while initial Late Cretaceous to Eocene compression was similar along strike (∼10 7 km), it is the contrasting degrees of Neogene shortening (∼16 6 km) that have played the largest role in the along strike differences in structure and morphology along this portion of the southern Andes.
Using phantom experiments in which they varied luminal contrast, degree of stenosis and window/level settings, they suggested optimum window/level settings based on the luminal contrast enhancement in the carotid arteries.
