Such changes may provide a transient intermediate in adaptation to unfavorable environmental conditions (Yona et al. 2012) and genetic backgrounds (Rancati et al. 2008).
We further predicted intermediate adaptation of the 90° condition relative to the 0° and 180° conditions.
The other two strains showed an intermediate pattern of adaptation to fat feeding characterized by increased BW and BMI without changes in adiposity indices in C57BL/6 or unchanged BW and BMI, despite significantly increased adiposity indices (+>130%) in BALB/c.
They are sensitive to skin indentation, respond to sustained mechanical stimuli with slow and intermediate adaptation rates, and form longitudinal lanceolate endings around hair follicles (Abraira and Ginty, 2013, Delfini et al., 2013, Li et al., 2011, Lou et al., 2013, Lumpkin et al., 2010, Seal et al., 2009).
We found that earlier chronotypes ("larks") had higher adaptation scores for day-shift and lower ones for night-shift, while later chronotypes ("owls") had intermediate adaptation levels for both day and night shift.
A critical aspect in the transmission cycle, and in the adaptation to different intermediate host species, is the ability of Echinococcus activated oncospheres, after hatching from the eggs, to penetrate the intestine cell wall and to reach the target organ of the herbivorous host via blood and lymph vessels [2].
Those in most widespread use are based on Dixon's two-point technique [ 70], for instance, a breath-hold gradient echo dual flip angle adaptation to generate intermediate-weighted and T1-weighted opposed-phase and in-phase images from which tissue fat contents can be calculated [ 71].
The higher pH requirement for the M intermediate of pR presumably corresponds with adaptation to the more alkaline oceanic environment in which the γ-proteobacteria are found.
Tetraploidy constitutes an adaptation to stress and an intermediate step between euploidy and aneuploidy in oncogenesis.
The schistosomes have complex developmental cycles that have evolved to include adaptation to free-swimming aquatic environment, intermediate host snail in an aquatic environment and warm-blooded mammalian host environment.
