Intensive fertilization and frequent cutting reduced the species richness of spiders and the number of threatened spider species, but increased the average taxonomic distinctness of communities.
Furthermore, the argument that archaebacteria are only 850 1,000 MY old (Cavalier-Smith 2006a; de Duve 2007) is rejected because its corollary that their molecular distinctness can be explained away by assuming an increased archaebacterial evolutionary rate is shown here to be untrue.
For consumers, taxon richness increased (fish) or decreased (invertebrates), while fish assemblages had lower phylogenetic diversity (taxonomic distinctness) associated with disturbance, implying a loss of functional diversity.
I think it a most desirable object to collect together a number of examples of these artificial aids to increase the effect and distinctness of sound, and the various conditions under which these artificial aids produce the desired effect.
This is particularly true for Arctic shelf areas, because of pronounced sea-level variations during the glacial and interglacial periods [52], but taxonomic distinctness has also been shown to increase across the entire region at depths less than 200 m [53].
Increasing the temperature alters Bronsted and Lewis sites both in number and strength and, also, the distinctness aspects of the surface structure.
In general, causation is to be understood as an increase in distinctness on the part of the causally active substance, and an increase in confusedness on the part of the passively effected substance.
It was now, as the rest of our garments followed, that Evie began to exhibit an increasing perturbation as though whatever was happening before her eyes was having, upon the confidence she had hitherto shown in the distinctness of our identities, a confusing effect.
Language relativity does not imply that the distinctness of distinct objects cannot go unnoticed.
Here the distinctness of the variables (the fact that they are distinct) replaces the sign of distinctness "≠" (cf. 5.53).
