S8 and S9, Supplementary Material online), supporting the conclusion that the putative global recombination modifier (or modifiers) identified in empirical work persists species-wide in one or both of these species (McGaugh et al. 2012).
SINaTRA uses connectivity homology, defined as biological connectivity patterns that persist across species, to identify synthetic lethal pairs.
In addition, ornithologists hold out hope that small populations of the glaucous macaw (A. glaucus) continue to persist; the species was last observed in central South America in the 1960s, and several unconfirmed sightings of individuals have been reported since then.
The novel communities that result from distributional shifts may persist as species adapt or coexist, or they may undergo further change as species are excluded through competition, predation, or other biotic interactions.
In contrast, intermale variability in sperm phenotype could persist in species with low levels of postcopulatory selection, as the result of unresolved diploid-haploid conflicts over the control of sperm phenotype [27], [28].
In theory, multispecies assemblages can persist if species use shared resources at different times, thereby minimizing interspecific competition.
The coalescent theory has shown that polyphyletic gene lineages can persist in species long enough after divergence [ 72, 76].
To determine the extent to which conserved biological functions persist across species, we searched for GO similarities to other insects.
Overall, we demonstrate that social immunity in the form of lining nest with antimicrobial compounds can emerge and persist in species with primitive forms of group-living.
"Losing this rich habitat would be a major blow to the chances of this species persisting," she said.
