Potentially, experimental tests of fitness and potential for adaptation in a variety of environments could be carried out, but this is not easy even in a model organism and generally less possible in an endangered species.
Specifically, when populations adapt from standing genetic variation only, the potential for adaptation increases as the environment changes faster.
Potentially, such indices could be used to test the potential for adaptation to further stress but this would need further studies.
Although our analysis offers insights on the potential for adaptation, we do not know whether Chinook salmon have actually adapted to the thermal changes caused by dams.
Csaszar, N. B. M. et al. Estimating the potential for adaptation of corals to climate warming.
Now that Rosen is on his way to becoming a perennial Christmas favourite, I ask which of his numerous other works have the potential for adaptation.
Csaszar, N. B. M., Ralph, P. J., Frankham, R., Berkelmans, R. & van Oppen, M. J. H. Estimating the potential for adaptation of corals to climate warming.
Lifecycle- and tissue-specific expression of ORs identified 30 variable, 23 constitutive and 9 adult-specific expression patterns (Supplementary Fig. 22), indicating that P. xylostella possesses a high potential for adaptation to chemical cues from host plants (Supplementary Fig. 2).
Ultimately, Anthony is hopeful that the insight into the potential for adaptation and realignment offered by the interaction of national and supranational legal orders will be put to productive use.
This concern with a space's social use and its potential for adaptation was a hallmark of SANAA's design philosophy, and, as a result, Sejima and Nishizawa did not consider a structure to be finished until it was inhabited.
