For example, one can manipulate a specific environmentalfactor during seed maturation and determine how that factor influences germination in the field.
The cellular basis of wing size changes in response to the environment seem to be line-dependent rather than determined by the environmentalfactor.
However, it is still possible that this causal effect is not direct but represents the effect of another, earlier environmentalfactor.
The dry season appears to be the most important environmentalfactor that regulates population abundance when predation, density-dependent regulation and competition phenomena are ignored.
Exposure to lead in the physical environment might, for example, be taken to be a clear example of a shared environmentalfactor.
Furthermore, the present study evaluated the influence of only a single environmentalfactor (temperature) using parasitoids cultured from a single population from one locality.
The shared environmental correlation of 1.00 means that any shared environmentalfactor found to be associated with general language would also be associated with articulation.
However, no such environmentalfactor has been found for the vast majority of cases arising after the age of 5 years.
Changes in wing size are obtained by line-specific changes in the cellular composition of the wing, rather than by changes specific for the environmentalfactor.
In particular, a true test requires that exactly the same environmentalfactor be measured in the field and manipulated in the laboratory when measuring plasticity.
