Researchers Eugeni Vidal-Tortosa and Robin Lovelace looked at the relationship between street lighting in a city and people’s willingness to ride a bicycle. Their results suggest that poor street lighting can deter new or inexperienced cyclists from riding in a city but has little effect on experienced cyclists. Therefore, increasing the number of streetlights in a city could potentially ???, decrease the number of new or inexperienced cyclists riding in the city, increase the number of experienced cyclists riding in the city, decrease the number of experienced cyclists riding in the city, increase the number of new or inexperienced cyclists riding in the city, Like many other genera of wild bees, bumblebees have in recent decades experienced population collapse caused by, among other factors, habitat destruction and climate variation. Bumblebees are also one of the most researched bee genera, second only to honeybees. As a result, ecologists have gained much of their insight about wild-bee declines from bumblebees. In a 2021 paper, zoologist Guillaume Ghisbain notes that bumblebees are among the relatively few wild-bee genera that display social behaviors and dietary generalism (ability to obtain nectar and pollen from a diversity of plant species), two traits that are associated with increased resilience to some specific environmental changes. Ghisbain therefore contends that ??, because the responses of bumblebees and other wild bees to environmental threats are not always comparable, researchers need to exercise caution when extrapolating information about wild-bee population declines from bumblebees., because bumblebees and other bees with generalist diets are less negatively affected by environmental stress than bees with specialized diets are, they are less likely to experience major population changes in the future than bees with specialized diets are., Al-Andalus, the historical region of the Iberian Peninsula that includes most of modern-day Spain, was ruled by various Arabic-speaking Muslim states between the eighth and fifteenth centuries. ???? many Arabic words, such as “alacrán”—meaning “scorpion”—made their way into the Spanish language., For example, Consequently, Specifically, Instead, Imagine a magazine that a reader has thrown away. This magazine is post-consumer waste, as it became waste after reaching the consumer. ????? the paper scraps left over from printing the magazine are pre-consumer waste, as they became waste before reaching the consumer., By contrast, For example, Specifically, As a result, Ancient Inca inhabiting the Andes Mountains used terraces, rows of flattened land with built in irrigation systems, to grow crops at different altitudes. This method of farming proved to be highly ???, as evidenced by the great number and variety of crops grown at that time., choatic, uniform, effective, burdensome, Since the Hubble Space Telescope was launched into space in 1990, astronauts have needed to complete regular missions to repair the telescope and keep it working smoothly. Researchers hope that robots will soon be able to make these repairs. Employing robots instead of humans to make repairs will be helpful, as ???? astronauts to maintain the telescope can be expensive., straightening, relying on, reducing, forgetting about, When soil becomes contaminated by toxic metals, it can be removed from the ground and disposed of in a landfill. ??? contaminated soil can be detoxified via phytoremediation: plants that can withstand high concentrations of metals absorb the pollutants and store them in their shoots, which are then cut off and safely disposed of, preserving the health of the plants., Alternatively,, As a result,, Specifically,, Fr example,, Working from an earlier discovery of Charpentier’s, chemists Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna—winners of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry—re-created and then reprogrammed the so-called “genetic scissors” of a species of DNA-cleaving bacteria ????? a tool that is revolutionizing the field of gene technology., forging, to forge, forged, and forging, In his groundbreaking book Bengali Harlem and the Lost Histories of South Asian America, Vivek Bald uses newspaper articles, census records, ships’ logs, and memoirs to tell the ??? who made New York City their home in the early twentieth century., story’s of the South Asian immigrants, story’s of the South Asian immigrants’, stories of the South Asian immigrants, stories’ of the South Asian immigrant’s, In Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek—where, early on, the author marvels at a single goldfish’s delicate fins but later winces when imagining a horde of goldfish laying and eating their own eggs—Dillard struggles to reconcile the complicated juxtapositions of the natural world. ??? nature’s mesmerizing intricacy and pitiless harshness prove inextricably linked for Dillard, like “two branches of the same creek.”, Moreover,, To that end,, Hence,, Ultimately,, A team of biologists led by Jae-Hoon Jung, Antonio D. Barbosa, and Stephanie Hutin investigated the mechanism that allows Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) plants to accelerate flowering at high temperatures. They replaced the protein ELF3 in the plants with a similar protein found in another species (stiff brome) that, unlike A. thaliana, displays no acceleration in flowering with increased temperature. A comparison of unmodified A. thaliana plants with the altered plants showed no difference in flowering at 22° Celsius, but at 27° Celsius, the unmodified plants exhibited accelerated flowering while the altered ones did not, which suggests that ????, ELF3 enables A. thaliana to respond to increased temperatures., temperature-sensitive accelerated flowering is unique to A. thaliana, temperatures of at least 22° Celsius are required for A. thaliana to flower.
