Higher densities of plankton, i.e., lower nearest neighbor distances between individual planktonic organisms in front of a large object, increase the distance from which the target can be seen.
The only protocol drawn up under its remit, in Cartagena in 2003, seeks to avert damage by genetically modified organisms; not a front-rank threat.
Continued research on multiple fronts is required to engineer organisms for truly sustainable and economical biofuel production.
If a school were to swim straight forward, the fish in front would capture most of the food organisms, and those in the rear would starve.
When using the toilet, always wipe from front to back to keep from spreading intestinal organisms to the vagina.
On the environmental front, scientists are also rewiring algae and other organisms to make biofuels for the transportation sector.
In both habitats, new sensing, tracing and mapping technologies have revealed how landscape or seascape features (e.g., watershed divides, ocean fronts or circulation cells) channel, contain or concentrate organisms, energy and materials.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are front-line components of innate immunity in multicellular organisms [ 6].
The database is available as an MySQL dump and via a web front end that allows searches with any combination of organism names, sequences and mutation IDs.
This helps to establish asymmetry in the developing organism that is, to produce tissues that will eventually become the top or bottom, front or back, and left or right of the organism.
