The journal places special emphasis on studies integrating proximate (mechanisms, development) and ultimate (function, evolution) levels in the analysis of behavior.
You're a non-leasing property owner proximate to gas development occurring elsewhere in the Marcellus Shale.
At the proximate level, accelerated development (heterochrony) is a well-characterized ontological process that one could predict would yield the necessary changes in robustness.
Others offer a more complex explanation, based on the origins of language and cerebral asymmetry, that includes aspects of proximate mechanisms, phylogeny, development, and functional significance in a complex mix (Crow 1997).
Special emphasis is placed on studies integrating proximate (i.e. mechanisms, development) and ultimate (i.e. function, evolution) levels in the analysis of behaviour.
Holocene climate change was therefore not a proximate cause for the development and demise of this relatively short-lived (c. 200 years) period of Iron Age farming.
These results support loss of β-cell function as the proximate step in the development of T2DM in this age group.
The effect of thermal environments during embryonic development as a proximate source of variation in the fitness of offspring has been examined in a wide variety of taxa, and reptiles have been proved to be excellent mode systems for research in this field.
When taken together, these initiatives demonstrate a regional concentration of similar promotional and development initiatives among proximate health care markets competing for international privately-paying patients.
These data provide the first evidence for maternal heterochrony as a probable proximate mechanism for the evolutionary development of worker behaviour using a subsocial bee.
These findings indicate that excessive protease activity in the cKO oviduct luminal microenvironment is a proximate cause of the embryo development failure.
