The authors regard the 28 tests of adaptation for each TE as repetitions.
Other researchers, however, argue that the use of optimality models does constitute a test of optimal adaptation; hence, the presence of disconfirming evidence must be taken as proof that optimal adaptation is incorrect.
Specifically, we provide an overview of a value-focused, decision-analytic approach that was applied in a pilot test of climate adaptation planning for buildings within designated historic districts on the barrier islands of Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina.
Taken together, Nova Scotia's Southern Upland literally represents the 'acid test' of local adaptation for risk assessment.
A reciprocal comparison of local and foreign plants in each habitat enables the most rigorous test of local adaptation (Turesson 1922; Clausen et al. 1940; Kawecki and Ebert 2004).
Our experiment is novel in that we assembled big bluestem ecotypes and multispecies communities, simulating a more realistic test of ecological adaptation, as well as restorations that might occur in practice (Baer et al. 2014).
This allows parameterizing and testing models of adaptation from SGV.
They strongly recommended that prospective, randomized controlled trials should be established, and an evidence-based rather than a "gut-feeling" -based approach to be used in SBS children, such as intestinal permeability and sugar absorption tests, evaluation of adaptation by gut hormone production, immunohistochemistry, and other new techniques which are still in experimental stage [ 154].
By using pesticide resistance in a controlled setting, we were able to shed light on the reciprocal interactions between behavior and evolution, as well as to test the multidimensionality of adaptation costs.
First, I both increased and decreased the concentration of glucose (25 μg/ml of glucose is standard) in the evolutionary medium in order to test the specificity of adaptation to the environment.
