This plastic response is parallel to what has been commonly observed in laboratory experiments on thermal evolution, where adaptation to lower temperature resulted in increased wing size (a proxy for body size) entirely as a consequence of cell size divergence [ 28].
A narrower planform and/or a heavier mass both produce even greater expected cruising speeds (maximum range speed rises with increased wing loading, as does best glide speed).
Infected birds had shorter wings during the first winter of sampling but not during the second, colder, winter; survival analysis of 321 birds sampled across four winters indicated that increased wing length conferred a survival advantage.
Fly populations may show rapid evolution with geographic cline, as shown by Huey et al. [ 65] who found increased wing length with latitude in Drosophila subobscura, just two decades after its introduction into North America.
A correlation between increased wing muscle mass and claustral behavior has been suggested before: these larger muscles do not function to enhance flight, rather they are a solution for storing amino acids that are essential for feeding the first generation of workers without outside foraging (Jones et al., 1978; Peeters, 2012).
2. Gays in the military will lead to increased diseases - Earlier this year, a right-wing group, America's Survival, put out a video claiming that gays serving openly in the military will lead to an increase in diseases like AIDS.
Spectacular failure has been the wind beneath his wings, with one bad decision after another leading to increased responsibility and power, to the point where, three years ago, he was given the top job.
A wider spread points to increased tension.
This can lead to increased flooding.
Some of the increased production can be traced to increased playing time.
