And it is active churchgoing that makes the difference between private belief and public consequences.Even among fundamentalist Protestants, public influence is patchy.
The type of litter and tree root traits may influence the patchy distribution of endogeic earthworms, which is known as the "single tree effect" [ 44].
Generalities of landscape structure can easily be extended to the marine environment, as marine predators inhabit a patchy, dynamic system, which influences animal choice and behavior.
From the early 1930s, the show offers a haunting self-portrait; a cigar box whose lid is painted with a wonderful windswept western landscape; and also the well-known 1934 "Seascape," which is alive with a patchy turbulence that reflects the influence of Pollock's teacher, Thomas Hart Benton, and the art of Eugène Delacroix.
This approach allows one to consider life-history attributes that influence persistence in patchy environments (e.g., longevity, colonization ability) in concert with extrinsic processes (e.g., disturbances, succession) that lead to spatial heterogeneity in patch suitability.
Thus, the importance of studies of carnivore-mediated seed deposition in anthropogenic landscapes at multiple spatial scales is two-fold: (i) to understand the influence of the patchy distribution of plants on this mutualism, and (ii) to gauge the influence of cultivated fruits on native plant-carnivore interactions.
Such group-level selectivity can arise without copying in patchy environments through spontaneous social influences on learning (van der Post and Hogeweg 2008), but in uniform environments, it can only be generated with copying.
But its actual influence is often indirect, patchy and dependent upon other groups.
So far progress has been patchy, not least because of Russian influence: Bulgaria's puzzling lack of interconnectors with Greece and Serbia is an example.
The Lords committee assessed equivalence provisions for passporting in EU legislation — as an alternative option for UK fintech firms — but describe these as "patchy, unreliable and vulnerable to political influence".
