Further studies will reveal how much of the observed metabolic differences are explained by different life-history traits versus differences in rate of development.
The reasons and mechanisms for these differences in rate of gene loss among different functional groups remain incompletely understood, but current theories propose a link of equimolar amounts of different regulatory genes (gene balance hypothesis) [ 48].
UK flies showed significant differences in rate of true polyandry at different female storage temperatures (0%, 4.4% and 8.3% at 18°C, 21°C and 25°C respectively; Pearson's Chi-squared test, χ2 = 6.247, p = 0.044) driven by a difference between the 18 and 25°C treatments (Pearson's Chi-squared test with Yates' continuity correction, 18 21 p = 0.171, 18 25 p = 0.034, 21 25 p = 0.437).
Differences in rate of digestion are also known for different types of starch (with a slower rate of digestion of amylose when compared with amylopectin).
The bifurcation is explained by azimuth-dependent differences in rate of thickness decrease around the vent.
No statistically significant differences in rate of elimination of branched chain or linear isomers of PFOS were found.
There were no statistically significant differences in rate of secondary procedures, conversion to open repair, or migration.
Conclusions: When examined separately for persons grouped by LOS, functional status improved linearly during the rehabilitation stay, with differences in rate of improvement depending on initial functional status.
Experiment 2 partly replicated the design of Experiment 1, but with differences in rate of presentation and in the distribution of items over subjects, and without semantic violations.
