If SRS traits are shared (with or without a similar genetic basis), one can envision how an adaptation to one 'harsh' soil type can
preadapt a lineage to another 'harsh' soil type.
Mild oxidative stress is known to
preadapt organisms to lethal oxidative and other stresses [1, 18, 26, 37, 39].
Parents' experiences from different abiotic stresses can
preadapt offspring for functioning under the same stresses, which improves offspring fitness [21].
First, why do some elders (and not others) adapt or even
preadapt to challenges to their nutritional well-being?
As the mature foliage of trees with different taxonomic origins will have a convergent chemical defence, evolving a capacity to feed on mature leaves of a particular tree will
preadapt the insect to feed on mature leaves from other trees (Feeny 1976, 1991).
Such reproductive flexibility may
preadapt species like I.
Selection for a short larval period in these disturbed habitats would
preadapt R.
Where drought is a rare occurrence, bacterial communities are more affected by it because they are not
preadapted to the extreme ranges in soil moisture (Fierer et al.
CHO-k1 cells were
preadapted in serum-free suspension culture and maintained in CDM4CHO (Hyclone, Little Chalfont, UK) chemically defined medium.
This may indicate a more general tendency of
preadapted inocula to perform better at degrading the substrate [15].
This may have
preadapted it for the invasion of similar disturbed environments in Australia (Stanisic et al.
