According to the maternal transmission hypothesis, kin-bias develops and persists via social transmission through the mother [38].
In northwest Germany, some feral populations may persist via self-recruitment, as inferred from four years of field survey and assessment of genetic variation [ 16].
Subsequent stages may not require direct pathogen involvement, because local inflammation, once established, may persist via the involvement of activated immune cells.
Most of the differences between the sexes arise and persist via the regulation of sets of genes in a sex-specific manner.
This would be particularly cost and resource-effective if the question is whether or not particular key populations will persist via adaptation, rather than a causal determination of the precise selection regime (ER, see below).
Of note, the function of TRM cells in controlling persisting melanomas is reminiscent of their presumed role in the local containment of persisting and latent-reactivating viruses, such as HSV and Epstein Barr Virus11,29,30, implying that TRM-mediated control of persisting threats via suppression and containment rather than elimination is a broadly operative mode of immunity.
Monkeypox was originally associated with bushmeat hunting of red colobus monkeys (Procolobus badius); after a localized epidemic emerged in humans, monkeypox persisted for four generations via human-to-human contact (Jezek et al. 1986).
The duplicate tRNAThr CR gene order is found in most ardeid lineages, suggesting this gene order is the ancestral pattern within these birds and persisted in most lineages via concerted evolution.
"We all know there is a strong culture around book gift giving that has persisted for centuries," CEO Leonard Chen told me via email.
However, these signature genes may be involved in mechanisms specific to arthropod host lifestyle, aiding long-term infection and the ability to persist in tick (via transstadial and transovarial transmission) and insect (via fecal inoculation and inhalation) populations despite the rapid generation times of these arthropods.
