The stubborn adherence to an inappropriate plant palette is "justified" by statements that deny an obvious reality: "Native plants are fragile and not as durable as non-natives" (though natives survive in the wild without irrigation).
To clarify, this isn't a discussion about the very real and very insensitive cases of cultural appropriation in recent years – the most obvious being native American headdresses – a sacred tradition regurgitated as cheap and crass festival costume fodder (so two summers ago, keep up).
Furthermore, there are no obvious contemporary native animal dispersers of Hawaiian Pritchardia seeds, yet Culliney et al. (2012) demonstrated that species such as the endangered crow (Corvus hawaiiensis), or perhaps its extinct congeners, could have been important dispersers prehistorically.
There was no obvious degradation of native RTA (black arrowhead, Figure 2D) even in the presence of a large excess of 26S proteasomes.
It's pretty obvious to non-natives (not just Andrew and I) that many Americans have a tough time dealing with the concept of decline, even if it it's relative decline.
The obvious problems aside – no native email client, poor browsing, wonky Flash support – it's clear that RIM took lots of care to produce a device that would appeal to their core audience of crackberriers.
With the obvious exception of the native population, everyone originated from elsewhere.
He soon attracted a cult following, due not only to his fast talking style, but also for his obvious love of his native city and passionate philosophical ideas.
The first obvious difference was that native RSC proved to be a more processive enzyme than recombinant Mi-2.
We first investigated the degree to which obvious differences between the native and the decoys are present in a representative collection of decoy sets, and whether these differences vary for the different types of decoys.
