We employed an experimental design that simultaneously determined the quantitative genetic basis of nine male cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) of Drosophila bunnanda, the extent of condition dependence of these traits, and the strength and direction of sexual selection acting upon them.
Identifying the causes of rarity often leads to the following question: Are rare species rare because they are only capable of exploiting a narrow range of environmental conditions, or because the spatial extent of the conditions they can exploit is highly restricted, or both?

If it weren't for them, we would not know the extent of the conditions in both onshore and offshore centres.
The level of dependence of yeast cells on Hog1 differs with intensity and extent of stress conditions.
Firstly, given the nature of spinal cord injuries (such as differences in the cause of injury, level of injury, and extent of secondary conditions and complications) and the considerable variation in demographics and socio-demographics of those living with SCI (e.g. gender, age, and living conditions), the characteristics and opinions of the 15 participants cannot be considered exhaustive.

(via) Derry Felton is an 18-year-old quadriplegic guy who, according to The Sun, needs "round-the-clock" care, (I'm not sure if they're just exaggerating the extent of his condition to make the story better).
Many health care professionals (HCPs) specializing in the treatment of GERD feel that published prevalence rates underestimate the extent of the condition [ 6, 7].
