The new group of "hidden fungi" also drew attention to the significance of contemporary molecular genetics technologies, which had enabled scientists to distinguish life-forms on the basis of subtle variations in their DNA sequence.
The turnaround from transgressive to highstand conditions is identified on the basis of subtle changes in the meiofauna.
The maximum flooding surface, which can be tracked across the whole study area on the basis of subtle palaeontologic indicators, is shown to represent an almost isochronous surface, dated to about 7.8 cal ka BP.
Many genera were named on the basis of subtle differences in molar characteristicsfeatures that vary within populations of other rhinoceros taxaand are therefore not accepted by most scientists for distinguishing species.
Aptamers have been shown to discriminate targets on the basis of subtle structural differences [49], [50].
Understanding social interactions requires the ability to accurately interpret conspecifics' actions, sometimes only on the basis of subtle body language analysis.
Understanding the genetic basis of subtle variation (between certain species or sexes) is therefore important for understanding the process of adaptive divergence.
In SDS/PAGE analysis, it is theoretically possible to discriminate PKD1 and PKD2 on the basis of subtle differences in their electrophoretic mobility [ 10].
In this regard, pea offers a valuable system to investigate the molecular basis for subtle biochemical differences in PA biosynthesis, and the pea cultivars with different PA profiles can be integrated into animal and human nutritional studies.
Ongoing analysis and published data also suggest that at least some of these taxa are morphologically diagnosable on the basis of subtle features of scalation and colouration (Doughty and Oliver pers. obs).. Our estimate of total species diversity is almost certainly conservative for several reasons.
