In the literature

However, considering the positive effects that heterozygosity can have on fitness (Reed & Frankham, 2003 ) and the results from the other experiments presented here, there are reasons to suspect they may be significant. 4.2 Number of heterozygous loci and growth rate plasticity Comparing diploid individuals, we found that the sampled sporophytes showed only two levels of heterozygosity: two and three heterozygous loci.
The implication of GST polymorphisms may be significant as studies suggest that that loss of mu, pi and theta GST genes increase susceptibility to inflammatory diseases, and a genetic deficiency of GSTM1 is associated with increased susceptibility to ozone-related asthma [ 61 ] and to susceptibility to AFB1-mediated damage to human liver cells [ 62 ].
It may be significant that several 14-3-3-binding singletons belong to ancient multi-protein complexes: Rictor, raptor and PRAS40/AKTS1 are in the nutrient-sensing mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) complexes; BAD and B2L11 are central components of the apoptotic machinery; and EDC3 (enhancer of mRNA-decapping protein 3) is part of an mRNA-decapping complex [ 44 , 45 ].
Cd is a characteristic waste product of many industrial processes and is toxic to multiple organs, and it may be significant that the trees used to fuel the woodstove in this study were grown in the vicinity of a waste incinerator. 48 Waste incineration plants have been shown to release Cd as part of the incineration process, 49 , 50 and Pb was also enriched in woodstove PM compared to all other PM with the exception of road tunnel PM.
An area for further analysis relates to landscape‐scale effects associated with commercial scale production on the provision of services, as a number of studies suggest there may be significant implications of commercial scale 2G feedstock deployment (Bianchi et al ., 2006 ; Vanloocke et al ., 2010 ; Bourke et al ., 2014 ) not revealed at smaller scales.
Although DBA, an integrated metric of body movement in all three dimensions obtained from accelerometers ( Halsey et al., 2009 ), has been used as a proxy for energy expenditure in a range of species, this method loses accuracy and precision when applied to species that spend a significant amount of time conducting low movement activities or where environmental DBA may be significant (i.e. resting on water or gliding; Fort et al., 2011 ; Jeanniard-du-Dot et al., 2017 ; Halsey and Bryce, 2021 ; but see Duriez et al., 2014 ).
