Although the ling and hake sampled from commercial vessels were larger, the difference in mean length between vessel types was relatively small (differed by 11.3 cm and 7.7 cm respectively), and the proportion of large fish (>100 cm TL) was similar (differed by 1% and 2% respectively), compared to the difference in %W of fish prey (commercial vessels more than double research vessels).
Non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (NMDS) and ANOSIM tests showed that all gaps, even small, differed from closed-canopy controls in terms of saproxylic species composition.
Validating breast cancer associated SNPs among black women is challenging, given the large sample sizes needed to detect small associations, differing linkage disequilibrium patterns among different ancestral groups, and disease heterogeneity.
In the second experiment we aimed to investigate the exact limit of the newborns' ability to discriminate between small shoals differing by one unit.
Apostatic selection by free-ranging wild birds has been shown for small pastries differing in colour [ 7, 25, 29], and presence or absence of a stripe [ 30, 31], and also for real Cepaea snail shells differing in banding pattern [ 32].
Cx43 permeability to small molecules differs in tissues of different origin such as brain, heart, kidney, and skin.
However, relationships between vegetation structure and small mammals differed among areas burned in different times, with weak or negative relationship in recently burnt areas and positive and stronger relationship in unburnt areas.
Two proportions for the same isoform in different conditions that are both quite small but differ by orders of magnitude (say, 10−7 and 10−10) sometimes have a strong influence on conclusions.
The small ones differ greatly from the large ones, and may have experienced different histories.
Each shop is quite small, and differs in character from the next.
