Thus, although the fossil record indicates that Pliocene hominins possessed overall MHL hand proportions and probably advanced manipulatory skills, most available postcranial evidence of this period (including hand bones) also reflects adaptations consistent with habitual engagement in arboreal locomotion13,14,15,16 (although see refs 17, 18).
If monitoring shows that some groups within the population have habitual intakes that exceed the ULs, adaptations should be made.
This suggests that even when habitual calcium intake is extremely low, physiologic adaptations may operate that override any effects of supplementation and provide both the mother and developing fetus with their calcium requirements (16).
The fur of the underparts is about twice as long as that of the upperparts and possibly represents an adaptation to the cat's habitual lying and crouching on cold ground.
The aim of the present investigation was to determine the "inflammatory and stress status" in an experimental model of MS, and to evaluate the effect of a program of habitual exercise and the resulting training-induced adaptation to the effects of a single bout of acute exercise.
This habitual head posture is one of several extreme adaptations in Nigersaurus for ground-level browsing, a feeding strategy that may have played an important role in the diplodocoid radiation of the Jurassic.
This lack of response suggests an adaptation to sweet taste as a result of the habitual dietary pattern of these consumers.
Because of adaptation of the metabolic demand for amino acids to habitual protein intakes, the true minimum intake that will maintain a healthy body composition may not be captured in most short-term (2 weeks) balance studies, and the efficiency of utilization of dietary protein is underestimated.
Skerry (1997) suggests that bone adaptation is controlled especially by loads that cause a change in habitual strain magnitude.
Given this context, the aim of the present investigation was to determine the "inflammatory and stress status" of obese Zucker rats compared to healthy lean rats used as control, and to evaluate the effect of a program of habitual exercise performed by the obese rats in the form of training-induced adaptation to the effects of a single session of acute exercise.
Not the habitual shopper.
