"But the gangs have a limited ability to adapt to this," Mr. Rosenthal said.
Its large population of poor blacks is even more exposed than others, has high sensitivity, and possesses limited capacity to adapt.
In contrast, only limited attempts to adapt S. stipitis to typical inhibitors present in SSLs have been reported [ 4].
This may have led to increased extinction rates, as low Ne can lead to inbreeding depression and accumulation of deleterious mutations as well as limited ability to adapt to changing environments due to reduced genetic variation [ 13].
A single translocated selfing population would typically have very limited ability to adapt to the translocation site, particularly as selfing species can lack genetic variation, and translocations might benefit from using multiple source populations for maximizing future evolutionary potential.
Genetically targeted mice lacking the gene for MCP-1 [ 153] and mice lacking the gene for the MCP-1 receptor (CCR2) exhibited a severely limited ability to adapt to femoral artery occlusion [ 60].
Moreover, asexual forms have a limited ability to adapt to environmental changes [ 2], show reduced performance under stress [ 7], and exhibit a higher susceptibility to parasites when compared to sexual forms (reviewed by Hamilton et al. [ 8] and shown by empirical studies (e.g. [ 1, 9])).
Nicholas Hazard: this would be ideal, but standardisation has its own limits – one has to adapt to the different local contexts, culture, history (old habits die hard!).
competition limits our ability to adapt and change, leading to the perpetuation of 1% behaviors.
The absence of substantial diversity in the vegetative features of gymnosperms appears to have limited their ability to adapt to diverse or extreme habitats.
