Pairing advantage and mate choice based on size-related characters are common in insects.
Hence, pairing advantage of large individuals rather than individuals from common environments must explain the phenotypic trait correlations.
Because it is unlikely that pair-forming adults recognize heterozygosity directly and because size is not a reliable predictor for heterozygosity, the proximate cues determining pairing advantage remain unknown.
The pairing advantage of heterozygous females might explain previous findings of sex-biased alate production depending on the degree of inbreeding in colonies of several species of the genus Coptotermes.
The ploy of using a Zn fluophore with a kinetic advantage, paired with a strong chelator with a thermodynamic advantage, effectively transforms an irreversible indicator into a reversible one, so that the same solution can be used to determine the concentration of multiple additions of Zn to the same solution.
The paired facilities would take advantage of the inherent advantages of building many identical units that could be assembled in shipyards and towed to their eventual point of use.
The abundance of dual-career academic couples has led to the opportunistic growth of certain institutions by their taking advantage of paired excellence.
Earlier, while hypothesizing on the selective advantage of paired RNA strands over those unpaired in primordial UV-illuminated settings [ 112], we built on empirical evidence of the higher UV stability of double-stranded RNA samples as compared to single-stranded ones [ 204- 206].
For a time slot t, the SCMA scheme proceeds in two stages: (i) channel assignment for scheduling a set of links for transmission on different channels and (ii) link pairing for taking advantage of MIMO mode control to improve performance.
"There is an obvious sexual advantage to being paired," said Dr. Pepper Schwartz, a sociologist at the University of Washington who studies sexual behavior.
When inspecting RefRN targets heard during NREM sleep, however, we found no trace of such an advantage (two-tailed paired t-test: t(19) = 0.57, P = 0.57, Hedges' g = 0.11).
