The researchers assessed genetic diversity by analyzing mitochondrial DNA, which enabled them to divide each species into genetically distinct populations known as ESUs (or evolutionary significant units).
KUs represent meaningful and significant units in the domain of knowledge.
Whatever the choice, the important factors are: 1. KUs represent meaningful and significant units in the domain of knowledge.
Six evolutionarily significant units of C. whiteheadi were designated from the genetic analysis for conservation and management.
Wind is one of the unlimited renewable energy resources which can provide with significant units of energy to bear the requirements of a nation.
Amongst the reasons for protecting a region or location, the existence of unique populations or evolutionary significant units for one or more key species is a priority.
Currently, we are observing the decline, extirpation, and perhaps extinction of several evolutionarily significant units of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), an iconic and cultural keystone species.
Open image in new window Fig. 2 Calculated change in emission rates for statistically significant units: model-predicted 2015 capacity factor vs. 2008 baseline capacity factor Open image in new window Fig. 3 Calculated percent change in emission rates for statistically significant units: model-predicted 2015 capacity factor vs. 2008 baseline capacity factor.
Beauregard successfully lobbied with Jefferson Davis's military adviser, Braxton Bragg, to prevent significant units of his small force from being transferred north of Richmond to the aid of Lee.
The results did not change significantly if only significant units were included.
Cohan [9] and Polz et al. [10] recommend an infraspecific taxonomic level to define significant units in microbial ecology and advocate for an evolutionary ecological criterion to identify distinct microbial populations adapted to a given habitat (ecotypes).
