In a since-deleted Instagram post that appeared on a number of news sites after the shooting, he shared an adaptation of the Marine Corps's "Rifleman's Creed," replacing "my rifle" with "my tuba". He liked violent video games and sometimes seemed sad, though, at least to most people, he never appeared dangerous.
The albatrosses and giant petrels share a morphological adaptation to aid in flight, a sheet of tendon which locks the wing when fully extended, allowing the wing to be kept up and out without any muscle effort.
The giant petrels share with the albatrosses an adaptation known as a shoulder-lock: a sheet of tendon that locks the wing when fully extended, allowing the wing to be kept up and out without any muscle effort.
We found that heat shock, oxidative shock, osmotic shock, and acidic stress all can trigger the stress TFs Msn2, Msn4 and Pdr3, indicating these four stresses share a similar stress adaptation mechanism.
Note that this model is an adaptation from our previously shared model available in ModelDB (Steuber, V., N. W. Schultheiss, R. A. Silver, E. De Schutter and D. Jaeger (2011).
Another point of interest is how an adaptation comes to be shared among the members of a species.
We show that reproductive success under drought stress is not a habitat-specific trait but a shared physiological adaptation that appeared to evolve recently in the evolutionary history of wild barley.
Furthermore, molecular evidence from PCR amplification of sequences assigned to this pathway surprisingly indicates that genes encoding the post-DHQ pathway leading to MAAs in the coral symbiome are located in the coral host, not in the resident dinoflagellates, so that the biosynthetic pathway is a shared adaptation between the algal and invertebrate partners.
Consequently, complete MAA biosynthesis is predicted to be a "shared metabolic adaptation" of symbiosis [25], with the required biochemical intermediates from the shikimic acid pathway emanating from the dinoflagellate partner and final steps of the biosynthesis occurring in the host.
Using transcriptome analysis of a common-garden experiment we show that reproductive success under drought stress has evolved similarly in different habitats indicating a shared physiological adaptation.
Molecular evidence suggesting also the presence of an unsuspected bacterial symbiont in this sea anemone gives a complementary view for the biogenesis of shikimate-related metabolites as a "shared metabolic adaptation" between the symbiotic partners [ 2].
