744,469 | However, the frequency of recombination is actually not the same for all gene combinations. This leads to the notion of "genetic distance", which is a measure of recombination frequency averaged over a (suitably large) sample of pedigrees. Loosely speaking, one may say that this is because recombination is greatly infl... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=64045 | 744,075 |
722,509 | The depth is, by definition, where radiation is degraded down to 1% of its surface strength. Accordingly, its thickness depends on the extent of light attenuation in the water column. As incoming light at the surface can vary widely, this says little about the net growth of phytoplankton. Typical euphotic depths vary f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=41519 | 722,129 |
878,720 | Einstein's refusal to accept the revolution as complete reflected his desire to see developed a model for the underlying causes from which these apparent random statistical methods resulted.

1,269,435 | The IUCN lists the Samoan flying fox as being "Near Threatened".
