This does not necessarily signify that glacial cycles provided conditions that were exceptionally suitable for allopatric speciation among birds, and it remains unclear whether the tempo of avian speciation in the Pleistocene was actually elevated in comparison to preceding geological periods [36], [39], [40].
In comparison to preceding experiments (Giewekemeyer et al., 2013 ▶, 2014 ▶; Wilke et al., 2013 ▶) where typically a pinhole was used in front of the focal plane, we can show here the effectively pure KB beam, which is only slightly cleaned by the soft-edge aperture.

In comparison to numerous preceding MRI studies, a new, though initially very discrete, thickening of the left medial rectus and inferior rectus muscle was observed in the absence of other intraorbital signal alterations.
The increased virus detection rate in the post-parturition period in comparison to the preceding 2 sampling dates, as well as the observed increase in virus concentration were statistically highly significant (analysis of variance [ANOVA], F = 24.7, p<0.001; χ 107.9, p<0.001).
It's pretty bleak in comparison to the five years preceding, which Music Week found produced 19 headliners: The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Kings Of Leon, Beyoncé, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Kasabian, Kanye West, Rihanna, Biffy Clyro, The Libertines, Justin Timberlake, Kaiser Chiefs, The Black Keys, Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Razorlight, Franz Ferdinand and Gorillaz.
