PAC species form communities of up to ten species [ 32, 33] and species abundance distributions within these communities ususally follow a hyperbolic distribution with a few abundant species and many "rare" species, consistent with the community structures of many other organismal groups [ 34].
The large-scale patterns we inferred from both floristic and genetic data were congruent among many species and consistent with likely dispersal vectors, indicating that deterministic factors are important in determining LDD in addition to purely stochastic ones.
Many species showed a consistent amplification with strong bands, except Ascolaimus, Eleutherolaimus and Bolbolaimus for which amplification was relatively weak.
Additionally, genetic data indicate that historical population expansions occurred in many species, a finding consistent with species colonizing newly available areas with suitable habitat.
This observation is also consistent across many species (Freed & Sterling 1988; Marshak et al. 1988; Hitchcock 1989; Zhu & Gibbins 1997; Owczarzak & Pourcho 1999; Xu et al. 2008; Jakobs et al. 2008; Koizumi et al. 2011).
These results are consistent with detection of many species within the Phytophthora genus (O'Brien et al. [2009]).
This behavior is consistent with ecological studies of many species showing that animals tend to leave foraging sites when threat levels rise (Lima and Dill, 1990).
This observation is consistent with the finding that many species found in the samples are involved in amino acid and carbohydrate digestion.
This observation is consistent with the finding that many species in this fermentation sample are involved in carbohydrate digestion and energy conversion.
Thus reducing the level of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD (superoxide dismutase) leads to a consistent reduction of the lifespan in many species, including mouse [ 2].
