Note that azhdarchids lack the specializations seen in some stork taxa, such as the Mycteria wood storks (which specialise in tactile feeding and wading), or Anastomus, the open-billed stork (which possesses scopate tomial edges and upper and lower jaws that bow away from each other. These are apparently specializations that assist in the holding of hard-shelled prey [109]).
The skull in Ar. ramidus lacked the specializations for heavy chewing (that is, thickened enamel, larger and more robust jaws, and deeper faces) present in all later Australopithecus.
This result is congruent with the morphological evidence at hand, since Ninia lacks the specializations shown by Dipsadini although most species are known to feed mainly on slugs [ 18] (Additional file 1).
We speculate that within monocots and rosids species, the extensive duplication of their PLIM2 genes may be a counterpart to the lack of specialization of the genes from the αLIM1 group toward pollen-specific expression.
For example, the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities said completing the first evaluation phase without site visits was insufficient; the Portuguese Physics Society also criticized the lack of specialization of the evaluation panels.
The lack of specialization in the pavement domains as students and the increasing financial requirement of pavement maintenance are hindering new engineers from further improving their knowledge on pavement.
The genus was reduced to 43 species (out of 110 in Oryzomyini) in the third edition (2005) of Mammal Species of the World, but it was still not a natural, monophyletic group; rather, it mostly united those oryzomyines that lacked the conspicuous specializations of other genera.
The lack of specialization could be also explained by recent colonization of Vitis hosts by E. necator or recent diversification of Vitis species in North America.
The major obstacle discouraging respondents from choosing GP/FM (59.2%) as a specialty was reported to be the lack of specialization of this discipline, followed by perceived difficulty in finding a career post, low grade of acceptance by the medical community, and low social prestige (14.8%, 13.7% and 12.3% respectively).
We infer support for this possibility from the fact that criminal career research identifies a lack of offence specialization: "The analyses of specialization in criminal careers suggest that there is little specific concentration within offense types among most offenders.
