Viability selection operating on our set of MA lines caused divergence in wing size and shape between lines that went extinct vs. those that remained extant at the end of the experiment (and were the subset analyzed for expression trait variation here) (McGuigan and Blows 2013).
There are also likely to be individual differences with respect to embodiment that remain underexamined in extant literature.
By exploiting the properties of Kolmogorov ecological systems it is possible to design particular properties, such as the property that all populations remain extant, into an ecological model.
Female Sunda rhinos are the only extant rhinos that remain hornless into adulthood, though they may develop a tiny bump of an inch or two in height.
Various other cerebrates are also featured throughout the series, though following the death of the second Overmind, Metzen explained that all remaining extant cerebrates died, as they were not designed to live without their creator.
They concluded that the remaining extant NSH population represents the same species as other Danish whitefish (named C. maraena), whereas the "true" NSH (i.e. C. oxyrhynchus) was restricted to the Rhine River region but is now extinct.
Marsupials first appear in scarce numbers in the fossil record of Australia in the early Eocene [ 45], but it is not until the prolific Riversleigh deposits of the Oligo-Miocene that all remaining extant marsupial orders (Diprotodontia, Notoryctemorphia, Peramelemorphia, and Dasyuromorphia) appear.
A recent phylogenetic study of Tahitian wild, captive and historical museum tree snails found that at least some members of all five primary historical Tahitian Partula mt clades remain extant, primarily in montane refuge populations [ 36].
These will remain extant in the new world, after the war, in the same way cockroaches survived the rain of glass that ended the age of the dinosaurs.
Despite over 20 years of uninterrupted economic growth and population expansion, distinct concentrations of poverty and disadvantage remain extant in all Australia's major conurbations.
