Beak shape/size or song or behavior or mechanical/chemical differences or time of mating or location on the island or primary food source differs between the Big Bird lineage and G. fortis.
Also acceptable: Description of another mechanism that prevents males and females from different populations from encountering each other/recognizing each other as potential mates.
The first experiment of the passage shows that treatment with TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 antagonists led to lower levels of epithelial cell production. For this conclusion to be strongly valid, we want to show a positive correlation between TGFBR activity and epithelial proliferation.
The number of offspring produced is often related to the amount of parental care. Typically, the higher fecundity, the lower the amount of time parents devote to caring for the offspring.
