It is possible, therefore, that nutritional status could have global, non-specific effects on histone modifications and DNA methylation, or locus-specific effects that could be more adaptive in nature.
— and by Dutton's infectious and wide-ranging love of art, a passion that clearly goes beyond anything that could be considered an adaptive trait.
But the book is ultimately animated less by its grand thesis than by all the questions tossed up along the way why did no art form develop to exploit smell, as music does hearing?—and by Dutton's infectious and wide-ranging love of art, a passion that clearly goes beyond anything that could be considered an adaptive trait.
Interestingly, some of the mutator polymerases (PolIV and PolV) that could be responsible for adaptive mutations (Tompkins et al., 2003) belong to the paleome (Danchin et al., 2007).
This is another opportunity that could be exploited if American forces are adaptive enough, but, as with the "Sunni awakening," it doesn't bring Iraq closer to a political solution.
An analysis of diversification rates indicated a significant shift at the base of the phyllostomid tree [ 21], that could be associated with an adaptive diversification, but increased speciation is not an unequivocal evidence of adaptive radiation [ 22, 23].
Widespread positive selections acting on CNS gene loci that could be essential for the adaptive evolution of human cognitive functions [30] have been reported for a number of schizophrenia candidate genes [12].
Only a few studies examining genetic variation also provided information that could be used to assess if changes were adaptive.
Although other factors must be considered, our results provide managers with quantitative information that could be integrated into an adaptive-management design and can help managers place their objectives, actions, and evaluations into a long-term perspective.
