Comparative genomics has been particularly fruitful in understanding adaptation involving pathogenic exploitation of eukaryotic hosts.
Hindsight allows for the identification of particularly successful adaptations, informing fruitful lines of inquiry.
For example, it could be true that most traits are adaptations that can be explained by invoking no more than natural selection (the first flavor) but still be false that it is most fruitful to look first for adaptation (the third flavor).
Maupassant's stories are so cinematically fruitful because their loose ends invite adaptation and render even methodically faithful adaptations overtly interpretive.
This latest adaptation of the 1864 novel is less fruitful than the 1959 attempt, in which the softly decisive voice of James Mason acted as a special effect in itself.
Advocates of pluralism, or "pluralists" often also argue that the attempt to construct a natural-selective explanation of a trait is not the most fruitful way to make explanatory progress and that understanding adaptation is just one of several important questions in evolutionary biology.
Personal contacts, voluntary regional cooperation, or informal meetings (for example, with colleagues of different areas of responsibility) were described as fruitful and successful occasions for knowledge exchange on climate change or adaptation possibilities.
Adaptation paradigms, typically using a robotic manipulandum, have been a very fruitful line of experimental research [41].
To illustrate this potentially fruitful research reciprocity between agricultural and evolutionary studies, we focus here on traits important for adaptation to abiotic stress, especially drought stress.
In addition to better understanding processes of natural adaptation, these analyses can also be useful for identifying which loci are more likely to be fruitful in manipulating such traits to maximize yield outcomes in agricultural settings.
The fruitful collaboration between director Nicholas Hytner and playwright Alan Bennett is set to continue, as the former is set to direct a film adaptation of Bennett's play The Lady in the Van, it was announced, on the same day that Bennett turned 80.
