You can use it when comparing two things in order to draw out similarities or differences between them. For example, "The student's attitude towards learning changed significantly when viewed in a comparative context to their peers."
Similarities and differences with regard to carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism during starvation are also examined in a comparative context.
We use this technique to explore the pattern of metric variation in the postcanine dental assemblage from the middle Miocene site of Paşalar in a comparative context.
We then describe the characteristics of an appropriate study system and briefly address experimental design using the available genomic tools in a comparative context.
Besides the persistence of the progressionist language ('lower' vs. 'higher') discussed below, based on data extracted by the recent literature, let us briefly consider the widespread use of 'basal', as applied (illegitimately) to a branch of the tree of life, or to a terminal taxon, rather than (legitimately, in a comparative context) to a node.
Its purpose is to place the interdisciplinary thinking contained here in a comparative context, highlighting the need for integration and collaboration to maintain the momentum that has propelled environmental benefit transfer into a widely used approach for estimating the economic value of environmental goods and services worldwide.

This wealth of information about the protein constituents of hemolymph in D. melanogaster thus provides a comparative context for proteomic studies of other species of Drosophila.
In a purely comparative context, a Gray Wolf mandible model required only ∼300,000 elements to produce reaction forces and strain energy values close to those obtained from higher-resolution models (>1,400,000 elements).
Relatively few studies have investigated the evolution of locomotor phenotypes (beyond overall body shape) in a phylogenetic comparative context [ 8, 28] and as a result, our understanding of the patterns and processes of locomotor diversification and their importance in fish radiations remains limited.
Using a compilation of research results from more than 100 studies conducted in a range of areas (58 addressing morphological change), this paper describes how urbanization has transformed river landscapes across Earth's surface, emphasizing the distribution of impacts in a global comparative context.
We investigate human lateralized motor functioning in a broad comparative context of evolutionary neural reorganization.
