Home-range sizes of order 1–10 km cited for many California rockfish species [26] , [35] , for example, may be significant in terms of their effects on persistence for reserves that are often the same order of magnitude in size [25] , particularly when the distribution and amount of harvest effort is not controlled.

p-values<0.05 were considered significant and were marked with *, while p-values<0.01 were considered highly significant and were marked with **.

With a mid-term separation, no significant difference was observed between both positions (Z = 2.01, P = 0.097) although a higher reduction in aphid growth (marginally significant) was clearly observed on the local position than on the systemic one ( Fig. 3 ).

edge/centre) was not significant for pollinator species richness, but was just below the significance level for pollinator abundance ( Table 3 ), indicating that abundance differences in organic fields between edge and centre were slightly more pronounced than for species richness.

Furthermore, a borderline significant association could be found between HbA 1c measurements and CVD events.

A non-linear P-spline on the fully adjusted model showed a trend for higher HbA 1c values towards an increasing risk of CVD events, but neither the linear nor the non-linear component of the P-spline were significant ( Figure 2 and Table 4 ).

Figure 2 showed a decreasing trend up to HbA 1c values of ∼7%, which flattens afterwards.

In the current study, there appeared a significant SNP-survival association ( XRCC2 R188H) and a marginally significant SNP-RP association ( XRCC3 T241M) in radiation-treated NSCLC patients.

Hence the pattern found in CADH P2 may be significant in determining its allergenicity.

We next employed the NCBI Human Genome Map Viewer [40] to investigate the potential role of gene density in the neighborhood of these three HERV insertions, since a highly significant inverse correlation between local gene density and HERV fixation rate has been demonstrated [37] .

Two transcripts (NUD6: NM_008006.2 , CKLF: NM_029295.2 ) showed a negative trend in the qPCR assay ( Figure 3 ), whereas one transcript (MAPK8: NM_016700.4 ) that exhibited reduced expression in the microarray data also showed a downward trend in the qPCR analysis.

In this meta-analysis, we found highly significant differences in the prevalence of the rs11614913 T allele and rs2910164 C allele among controls of Asian (0.544, 0.498, respectively) and Caucasian (0.375, 0.246, respectively).

Thus protection conferred by maraviroc gel against HIV-1 vaginal challenge is highly significant (p value 0.0006, Fisher's exact test).

Furthermore, we found a near-significant inverse association between ΔWSDSbirth to 3 months and insulin sensitivity (SI derived from IVGTT) and a near-significant positive association between ΔWSDS birth to 3 months and fat mass ( Table 2 ).

P -values were not adjusted for multiple hypothesis testing and p <0.05 was considered nominally significant.

It is likely that several relevant gene categories may have been missed in our analyses mainly because elevated dN/dS ratios may be confined to a functionally highly significant region of the gene that is nevertheless too short to impart a higher than average global dN/dS ratio to the entire gene.

Lower precipitation and higher growing season temperatures, wind speeds, and evapotranspiration deficits at the Onefour and Hargrave sites result in an overall trend of expected greater drought stress and lower productivity at mixedgrass sites relative to fescue sites.

In both groups there was a strong trend towards news sources with mixed ownership (i.e., combined public and private ownership).

Three of the molecular markers tested gave highly significant associations with FeGB, one for each of the three chromosomal regions ( Table 7 ).

These analyses revealed an intriguing, marginally significant relationship between diet variation and benthic invertebrate density ( , ; Fig. 5A ).

In parallel to disease improvement, the degree of itching was already reduced after 15 days of treatment (p≤0.05), which became highly significant after 3 and 6 months (∼40% reduction, see Figure 4A ).

reported a statistically highly significant correlation of high expression of Gal-3 in the primary tumors with reduced metastatic potential and increased post-operative survival [42] .

For instance, equivalently silenced miRNAs in normal and cancer may be significant for cancer in a tissue-specific manner.

M402 monotherapy showed a trend towards improved survival, but did not reach statistical significance in this study (p = 0.10 by Log-Rank test).

In the extension analyses, ERK rs5999749, Dock180 rs4635002 and C3G rs7853122 showed marginally significant gene-dose effects for gastric cancer.
