Consistent with the taxonomic analysis (Figure 2B), OTU-based analysis (Table 4) confirmed that there were diverse bacterial communities (higher np Shannon values indicate higher diversity) in the healthy smokers (HS), which was similar to that seen in the healthy never-smokers (NS) and our two mild COPD patients (CS#1 & CS 2).
Conversely, waxy claystone and sandy waxy claystone samples show a higher diversity in the vegetation composition.
Another advantage could be that sorghum can replace maize to reach higher diversity in cropping systems of Germany.
Recently, Xue et al.2 reported that the pooled Y-chromosome short tandem repeats (STRs) have a higher diversity in NEAS populations than in SEAS populations.
Nematodes and arthropods, however, showed a different pattern, with higher diversity in rubber plantation at some (but not all) hierarchal scales.
To tackle this issue, we propose to maintain a higher diversity in the evolutionary algorithm's population by including a niching strategy in the memetic algorithm framework.
The comparatively dry karstified landscape of the Jurassic limestone plateau is reflected by a higher diversity in abrasive feeders compared to the Molasse Basin wetland.
While a number of studies have documented higher diversity in protected areas, few studies have examined multiple diversity metrics or covered the large area of our study.
In both case studies, every SGR trial gets trapped in a local optima while PT-SGR maintains an higher diversity in the sampled model states.
All together this study demonstrated a positive relationship between microbial diversity and stress resulting in higher diversity in the recalcitrant the roots and the infertile soils.
However, higher diversity in the surrounding 100-kb regions occurred in the cA, cB and XI groups, whereas the GJ groups had extended regions of reduced diversity, which reflects the breeding history associated with the 'green revolution'22.
