The results give a comprehensive picture of existing research on the topic, thus providing researchers with a solid foundation for further study and indications of directions for future development.
Among the members of a termite colony there is continuous exchange of information, such as alarm, indication of direction and presence of a food source, and, among reproductives, calling and pairing behaviour.
Studies of population genetic structures provide an indication of direction and magnitude of larval transport and hence are an important component in the assessment of the ability of reefs to recover from severe disturbance.
Another student who learned Stepanov notation at the Imperial School was the legendary Russian dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, whose interest in it led to his own modification of the system, one that improved significantly on Stepanov's ideas, especially in the indication of directions and levels.

The recent murder of Ribeiro and Santo combined with the danger posed by changes to the forestry code are devastating indications of the direction Brazil is heading in the Amazon.
With more sample studies we might be able to make more quantitative estimations to replace the coarse-grained patterns which provide rough indications of the direction of change and the groups of genes/molecular functions/pathways affected.
