Cooperative hunting is often assumed to be maintained through returns to scale: by working together, foragers can gain higher returns than they would have by hunting alone.
The present findings shed light on a key component of fat metabolism how glycerol levels in the body are expected to be maintained through hAQP10-mediated influx (small intestine) and efflux (adipocyte tissue) (Figs. 1a and 4b).
In organisms containing multiple rRNA genes, the homogeneity of primary sequences is believed to be maintained through gene conversion by homologous recombination [2], [28].
Overlapping gene organization would provide some degree of protection from genome decay, as long as the function of the protein encoded by the overlapping counterpart is important enough to be maintained through natural selection.
For proteins with exposed backbone, the seal is shown to be maintained through a tightly fine-tuned distribution of sub-nanoscale curvatures of the protein enveloping surface that befits the low resilience of interfacial water in regards to retaining its coordination number (g = 3).
Because this basic plot structure is likely to be maintained through successive iterations, the transmission is, at this level, preservative.
Between epidemics, the virus is believed to be maintained through vertical transmission by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes.
However, since the embryo is curved over the yolk sac, a single plane of section is unlikely to be maintained through the length of the embryo.
The coexistence of multiple male and/or female morphs is widely believed to be maintained through negative frequency-dependent selection imposed by social interactions.
KDDB is going to be maintained through our own data mining and curation efforts and through the submission of data from contributing laboratories (with suitable quality control procedures, as currently used in AFND).
In many species, females show reduced expression of a trait that is under sexual selection in males, and this expression is thought to be maintained through genetic associations with the male phenotype.
