Such a developmental plasticity pattern was for example found in the desert amphibian Scaphiopus couchii (Newman, 1994), the dung fly Scathophaga stercoraria (Blanckenhorn, 1999), and the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (Møller, Smith & Sibly, 1990), all of which appear to be well-adapted to ephemeral food resources.
A repeating, chordal crescendo, for example, turns up in "The Desert Music" (1984), and a two-note descending slide found its way into "Different Trains" (1988).
For example, a person in the desert weak and dying of thirst would easily give all the money in his wallet, no matter how much, for a bottle of water if he would otherwise die.
However, the sides of these apparent spirals have random lengths and therefore differ from systematic spiral searching patterns which have, for example, been observed in the desert isopod Hemilepistus reaumuri upon getting lost after an excursion from its burrow [21] and in desert ants (Cataglyphis) when returning to the nest after forging beyond the range of the known landmark map [22].
In another example, flower color in the desert annual Linanthus parryae is subject to selection due to temporal and spatial variation in rainfall (Schemske and Bierzychudek 2001, 2007).
A good example involves the desert of wages.
For example, in the Great Basin and Mojave deserts, planned groundwater withdrawal is expected to greatly reduce spring discharge [9].
For example, in the harsh Atlantic fog-desert of the Namib, Welwitschia mirabilis, is found.
Vreeland put fashion in its place by always placing it in a wider context (for example, outdoors in the Arizona desert); she demystified its rules, and showed the world how it could serve women, rich or poor.
As an example, Terrol goes on walks in the desert to find materials for his baskets, which is part of the weaver's foraging tradition".
