Lapwings had higher hatching success in suburban compared with agricultural environments, leading to greater reproductive success; a similar rate of chick mortality was evident between environments.
On the other hand, failure to find higher fitness in present than in past environments does not mean that adaptive evolution is absent – because fitness trade-offs are not always evident between environments (Bennett and Lenski 2007; Blanquart et al. 2013).
In overall, our M-TREE architecture can provide a tamper-resistant and tamper-evident computing environment with low-performance impact, thereby offering a transparent and practical security computing platform.
In conclusion, this study demonstrated that MPs pollution in the area of Costa Concordia was more evident on benthonic environment than on seawater column, providing novel insights on the possibility of using appropriate sentinel organisms for monitoring specific anthropogenic sources of MPs pollution in the marine environment.
Analysis of soils from Ancient Nara suggests that traces of ancient human activity are indeed evident in the environment.
It is evident that local environment plays a critical role in the process of stem cell differentiation.
Recently it has also become evident that the environment in utero modifies the breast cancer risk in the female offspring.
Significant differences were seen in the index when comparing marine and freshwater environments that differ in proximity to human impact, and distinct index patterns were evident across these environments.
Because autism prevalence rates vary by country, population and geographic location, it is becoming more evident that gene-environment interactions are at play with dietary factors.
This is even more evident in urban environments that have seen dramatic changes to many traditional mores of sexual socialisation, such as the rite of passage that transforms boys into men, that today are fragmented or have disappeared altogether (17).
In these strains, heterosis was strong (with heterozygote fitness often higher than that of the fittest parent), evident in multiple environments, and positively correlated with the sequence divergence between parental strains.
