from the Bocas del Toro Islands of Panama, suggesting evolutionary disequilibrium between directional selection for dwarfism and the temporal scale required to obtain optimal body size following isolation of land-bridge islands since the last glacial maximum.
Thirty-day isolation was imposed for ships from areas that were infected or suspected of being infected and 40-day isolation for land travelers from these areas (2, 3 ).
This study develops an urban isolation index (UII) to quantify the isolation effects of land-use conversion on key ecological areas (KEAs) and accounts for urban patch size, morphology, location, and quality loss.
This strategy eliminates the need for separate tester integrations into each landing site and concomitantly reduces the number of fly generations between the isolation of new landing sites and their characterization.
"Isolation is the sense of land art," Mr. De Maria says in the cabin notebook, and isolation was one of the major criteria he established when he began looking for a site in 1971.
Models were developed using the following five factors: reciprocal of fractal dimension (FD), isolation (FI), fragmentation (FN), sensitivity of land desertification (SD), and sensitivity of soil erosion (SW).
"The huge extensions of land, the isolation and the remote communities, was strongly related to their relation with God," he writes in the foreword to his forthcoming book, Los Menonos.
HANGA ROA, Easter Island — Not long ago, as some elders of the Rapanui people wistfully recall, a sense of profound isolation pervaded this windswept speck of land in the Pacific.
Proximity to land, isolation of water from the open ocean, and processes that control stability of the surface water combine to increase the annual range of nearshore ocean surface temperature.
It advocates a wider consideration of indigenous rights as a basis for rethinking geography's relevance to indigenous futures rather than a limited focus on questions of land rights in isolation.
Some authors have suggested the existence of former islands, now submerged, which could have acted as "stepping stones" for the colonisation of Ascension Island; the isolation of Ascension Island from any other land mass makes transportation of either larvae or adults difficult.
