In the absence of natural biodiversity, these strain-selection programs were, and are, searches for variant genotypes of the introduced Bradyrhizobium strains, superior in N2-fixation capacity and competitiveness obtained mainly by reisolation after long periods of adaptation to local stressful environmental and soil conditions [ 6, 9, 10].
But without trust, the men said, the process of training the local forces is stressful.
The evolutionary shift toward selfing increases colonization potential and reproductive assurance, while also serving to maintain local adaptations in stressful environments at the cost of genetic diversity and evolvability [ 16].
For our study organism Rhynchosporium commune, we found evidence for local adaptation to stressful, high temperature as well as mean annual temperature variation in addition to a high adaptive potential for growth rate at all experimental temperatures in most populations.
Although the shaking intensity associated with most aftershocks is small compared with that of the principal earthquake, many are large enough to hamper rescue efforts by further destabilizing buildings and other structures and can be stressful for local residents coping with the damage and loss of life wrought by the principal quake.
Under such stressful conditions, local budding is not profitable, and young queens instead benefit from dispersing and founding their nests away from the maternal colonies (Figure 1).
Embryos of M. faveolata raised from spawn collected from Florida and Mexico were reared under elevated temperatures (1 to 2°C over local summer means) and less stressful control temperatures based on the year round means, to test the hypothesis that transcription profiles reflect location-specific responses to thermal stress.
Initially attempting to explore without a guide can be endless fun or a stressful disaster -- the locals are not as friendly and willing to help tourists as those of Marrakech.
Overall, protecting canopy-forming bioengineers to preserve local biodiversity should be most effective in stressful environments.
After three stressful hours being hustled between local police stations, they were reunited with their passports.
Then one day, during an especially stressful period of my life, our local school district's Adult Education brochure arrived, offering craft classes.
