From a phone booth in Alaska, where he is hunting for peppered moths, he said the role of lichens had been overemphasized and that grime alone had probably been enough to give the black form of the moth its transient advantage.
While a lead in development may be transient, other advantages, such as a superior pawn structure, could be nurtured into the endgame, Steinitz said.
This observation is consistent with the models of rapid evolution which suggest that transient competitive advantages are enjoyed by organisms that are hypermutators under conditions of environmental stress and transitions, and that these states which can be produced by mutations in DNA repair genes [ 21- 26].
Thus, mutator mutants (or mutator alleles) may only provide a transient competitive advantage.
This increase in intracortical synapses could either be mediated through a homeostatic mechanism that compensates for lost thalamic input and/or be driven by a transient competitive advantage for cortical axons over the thalamic inputs to establish synapses.
Although sulfenic acids are often transient, an advantage to studying this modification is that it represents the initial product of two-electron oxidants with the thiolate anion and can therefore serve as a marker for oxidant-sensitive cysteine residues.
Interestingly, the effects of the modified grafts, at least in this experimental design, provided only transient or temporary advantages over control grafts in vitro.
Laplace transformation of coulostatic transients has potential advantages in this frequency range, although difficulties may arise with the resolution of the long-term transient decay.
The first mode, implemented on intelligent and cooperative agents, provides two negotiation models (fair and dynamic) in order to guarantee wider flexibility for different possible scenarios and community models; the second one implements a content delivery system into transient community, taking advantage of multihomed features of mobile devices.
As the expression of Ttk69 in the SM is very transient, we took advantage of the stability of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in ttk-VME enhancer transgenic embryos to determine in which SM cell types ttk is expressed.
