The small sample size of the study could have contributed to failure to detect such a difference and also other small scale changes in gene expression.
On a much smaller scale, climate change has already led to disputes over water rights in northern and southern California.
The transient nature and the small scale of these conformational changes have made them extremely difficult to study directly.
However, whereas small-scale spatial variation in temperate reef algal assemblages has been extensively studied, fine-scale temporal changes have not been well addressed.
"What the government is now confronting is a choice with going forward on whatever its original, probably small-scale changes might have been, or sitting back and thinking about whether there is something more that needs to be done," he said.
"All small scale fishermen have turned to mining.
Thus, our hypothesis is that long term deforestation causes rainfall and temperature pattern change and even small scale remnant forests have a beneficial effect of rainfall and one of the recommended impact reducing strategies, therefore, is the protection and plantation of small forests.
His changes have been small, but noticeable.
On a smaller scale, I have faced a similar challenge.
We have identified several small scale genomic changes, including insertions and deletions of coding and noncoding sequences.
Although a similar velocity change on a smaller scale has been observed since 2013, the S/N has been low mainly because of postseismic noise.
