In addition, we discovered that adaptation to specific stresses prefers accumulation of genetically modified elements with specific mutator strengths.
Furthermore, we discovered that adaptation of microbes to specific stresses prefers specific mutagenesis strengths, which may provide new insights on understanding and application of evolutionary engineering for strain improvement.
In their study, they discovered apparent adaptations in many of the traits.
I had come to the Surin Islands expecting to find a culture on its way out, but what I discovered was more adaptation than destruction.
I probably discovered the movie adaptation of Elizabeth Wurtzel's autobiography, Prozac Nation, in a lethargic haze.
We found no significant association between network topology and signals of local adaptation discovered by looking at the correlations between population-specific allele frequencies and environmental variables across the globe (BayENV; Hancock et al. 2011; supplementary notes, Supplementary Material online).
Other studies have focused on Drosophila in which transposable elements are finely annotated, and they pointed out the low fixation rate of insertions (Perez-Gonzalez and Eickbush 2002; Petrov et al. 2003), despite some recently discovered cases of adaptation induced by mobile elements (Gonzalez et al. 2008).
Anatomists regularly discover new adaptations that can have implications for humans: understanding how whales withstand huge pressures, for instance, may lead to new treatments for brain injuries from combat explosions.
Finally more intensive population sampling in the southern genetic clusters could reveal ecological differences between them and help to discover local adaptations that might be involved in divergence between lineages.
However, we also discovered previously unknown adaptations, such as the proliferation in T. urticae of an unique class of putative antifreeze proteins.
Through investigating patterns of endosymbiont adaptation, he discovered that endosymbiont genome reduction in this system is adaptive rather than degenerative as in other endosymbioses.
