Although the majority of equine muscles have a mixed fibre type distribution indicative of diverse functional roles, the predominance of a fibre type can indicate the primary function of a muscle.
The distribution of C functional groups showed a predominance of O-alkyl-C and alkyl-C groups and a relatively low content of aromatic-C groups in the samples.
The functional significance for the predominance of Yellow and Orange dewlaps is unknown but is likely related to contrasting effects with background colors in their habitats [24] [26], [46].
The predominance of functional divergence effects on most of ecosystem processes sheds light on the need to preserve specialist species sensu Elton (i.e. those that have a particular combination of traits and perform particular functions in the system).
The endoscopic diagnosis of uninvestigated dyspepsia in our setting showed a predominance of functional disease, whereas cancer was an uncommon finding, despite the high prevalence of H. pylori.
We hypothesize that mitochondria and lysosomes form a functional continuum with a predominance of mitochondrial and lysosomal pathways in NBIA and LSD, respectively, and with Parkinson's disease representing an intermediate form of disease.
Notably, in a metatranscriptome study that targeted the fecal microbiota [ 16], a predominance of the same functional categories was observed.
However, it is difficult to obtain and culture primary functional human retinal cells, hence the predominance of immortalized cell lines in AMD research (Borooah et al., 2013).
Gelatin exhibits a net negative charge at a pH of 7.4 due to the predominance of negative –COO− functional groups which repel the partly anionic RIF at this pH [ 25].
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders, with a strong female predominance.
The initial question of which questions must be considered can only be answered via a functional analysis of Rule 23's commonality and predominance inquiries.
