clades)—to organize and make sense of the 3.5 billion year history of life on Earth, they provide a conceptual framework for basic and applied biology in fields as disparate as conservation, ecology, behavior, molecular biology, epidemiology, and pharmacology (e.g., Futuyma 2004; Hillis 2004; Nickels and Nelson 2005; Yates et al. 2004).
The Chagos case is also characterised by a widely disparate balance of power: conservation groups managed to persuade the UK Government to introduce a no-take MPA, while the displaced Chagossian community is chronically disadvantaged and has historically been marginalised in decision-making about the future of the Chagos Archipelago.
Increasingly, the CDT and other trails are seen not just as recreational ventures but as conservation tools that may connect disparate habitats.
Given these deep phylogenetic branches, sequences containing high homology between these disparate species may be indicative of functional conservation and represent potential targets for further epigenetic analyses.
Although artisanal miners in TNS benefit by gaining cash income, this activity also carries risks as income is highly disparate and environmental impacts in this priority forest conservation area are expected to increase due to the growing competition over land use.
Mammals are a disparate group, but large mammals in particular have similar conservation needs.
This method allows direct quantitative comparison between disparate data sets through the integral mass and momentum conservation equations, precluding the need for analogies between physics and physiological significance.
To test this hypothesis we generated a list of putative P. falciparum transcription factors by identifying all P. falciparum proteins containing known DNA-binding domains and examined the conservation patterns of these proteins across three disparate sets of apicomplexans.
We compared the conservation profiles of predicted Plasmodium transcription factors in disparate apicomplexans to obtain a regulator-centric view of differences in regulons.
This is in contrast to the striking lack of non-coding sequence conservation, revealed by bioinformatic alignment of genomic sequences from disparate ascidian species.
