It isn't growing at the same rate it used to.

Its root system can't support many more new trees.
The LINE transposon in O. vulgaris and O. bimaculoides genomes is active in an octopus brain structure that functions similarly to the human hippocampus.
The human genome contains multiple transposons from the LINE family that are all primarily active in the hippocampus.
A consistent number of copies of LINE transposons is present across the genomes of most octopus species, with few known corruptions.
O. vulgaris and O. bimaculoides have smaller brains than humans do relative to body size, but their genomes contain sequences from a wider variety of transposon families.

Elinor thinks her mother is a bad role model.
Elinor is remarkably mature for her age.

Barve's investigation shows that some species of Himalayan songbirds have evolved feathers that better regulate body temperature than do the feathers of other species, contradicting previous predictions.
Barve found an association between habitat temperature and feather structure among Himalayan songbirds, lending new support to a general prediction.
Barve discovered that songbirds have adapted to their environment by growing feathers without flat and smooth sections, complicating an earlier hypothesis.
The results of Barve's study suggest that the ability of birds to withstand cold temperatures is determined more strongly by feather length than feather structure, challenging an established belief.
find the disruptions more irritating as time went on.
rate the listening experience as more negative than those whose listening experience was uninterrupted.
rate the experience of listening to construction noise as lasting for less time than it actually lasted.
perceive the volume of the construction noise as growing softer over time.
"Through the water the moon writes her legends / In light, on the smooth, wet sand."
"Softly the water ripples / Against the canoe's curving side."
"Or like the snow-white petals / Which drop from an overblown rose."
"But the moon in her wayward beauty / Is ever and always the same."

lsoguanine and purine were detected in both meteorite samples but not in the soil sample.
Adenine and xanthine were detected in both of the meteorite samples and in the soil sample.
Hypoxanthine and purine were detected in both the Murchison meteorite sample 2 and in the soil sample.
lsoguanine and hypoxanthine were detected in the Murchison meteorite sample 1 but not in sample 2.
It holds a greater number of fossils but from a smaller variety of species than the formation in the Minatogawa quarry does.
It has provided evidence that the earliest human species may have emerged before the Pleistocene era.
It is widely considered by paleontologists to be the most valuable source of information about prehistoric life forms.
It contains specimens from an older time period than those found in the formation in the Minatogawa quarry.

Heidi is delighted and fascinated by an image she sees in one of Grandmama's books.
Heidi is initially frightened by an image in one of Grandmama's books but quickly comes to appreciate its beauty.

some of Shakespeare's tragedies are more relevant to today's audiences than twentieth-century plays.

The narrator remembers a trip he took and admits to getting lost.
The narrator recalls fond memories of a journey that he took through some beautiful river counties.
The narrator describes what he saw during a long trip through a frequently visited location.
The narrator explains the difficulties he encountered on a trip and how he overcame them.
Mosasaurs' likely body temperatures are easier to determine from tooth enamel oxygen-18 isotope data than the body temperatures of nonendothermic Late Cretaceous marine reptiles are.
Fossils of both mosaurs and nonendothermic marine reptiles have been found in roughly equal numbers in regions known to be near the poles during the Late Cretaceous, though in lower concentrations than elsewhere.
Several mosaaur fossils have been found in regions known to be near the poles during the Late Cretaceous, while relatively few fossils of nonendothermic marine reptiles have been found in those locations.
During the Late Cretaceous, seawater temperatures were likely higher throughout mosaurs' range, including near the poles, than seawater temperatures at those same latitudes are today.
"In Mother and Child, a sculpture of two Black figures, Catlett used an ancient Indigenous sculpting technique and combined the visual aesthetic of modern Mexican muralists with that of German artist Kathe Kollwitz."
"In her collage New Generation, Catlett overlaid fabric onto the canvas to represent the clothing of a father and his toddler, positioned to evoke classic images of a mother and child."
"Created in 1968, Catlett's sculpture Black Unity, a stylized fist sculpted from mahogany and measuring two feet across, remains an important piece and has received renewed and well-deserved attention in recent years."
"One series of Catlett's prints, made by the artist using the linoleum cut method, depicts several notable African American women, including Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth."
The text of the poem as published in the quarterly journal is not identical to the text of the poem published in the stand-alone volume.
Many critics believe that the poet's explanatory notes remove certain ambiguities of the poem and make it less interesting as a result.
The publishers of the stand-alone volume requested the explanatory notes from the poet in order to make the book attractive to readers who already had a copy of the poem in a journal issue.
