Its closest point to the mainland is off Cape Jervis on the tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Its closest relative is the little-known Sanford's Sea Eagle of the Solomon Islands.

Its closest living relative may be the Lappet-faced Vulture, which takes live prey on occasion.

Its closest relatives, other than the Wallcreeper, are the treecreepers, and the ( two or ) three families are sometimes placed in a larger grouping with the wrens and gnatcatchers.

Its closest relative is the Wood Thrush of the monotypic genus Hylocichla ( Winker & Pruett, 2006 ) which is sometimes merged into Catharus.

Its closest relatives are the caracal ( Caracal caracal ) and serval ( Leptailurus serval ), while the Asian golden cat ( Pardofelis temminckii ) belongs to the genus Pardofelis.

Its closest relative is the Greater Yellowlegs, which together with the Spotted Redshank form a close-knit group.

Its closest relative is the Lesser Yellowlegs, a much smaller bird with a very different appearance apart from the fine, clear, and dense pattern of the neck, which both species show in breeding plumage.

Its superb genetic amenability and relatively large size have provided the powerful tools required to investigate a bacterium from all possible aspects.

Its importance has been consolidated by successful large-scale forward genetic screens ( commonly referred to as the Tübingen / Boston screens ).

Its objective is the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources, thereby contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.

Its principal feature was to reduce the manifold language families of New Guinea to a single genetic unit.

Its other principal members are Romanian, Greek and Albanian, all of which belong to different genetic branches of the Indo-European family of languages ( Romanian is a Romance language, while Greek and Albanian each comprise their own separate branches ).

Its small stature and short generation time facilitates rapid genetic studies, and many phenotypic and biochemical mutants have been mapped.

Its genetic features, including many known and mapped phenotypic mutants and a large number of progeny per cross ( typically 100-200 ) facilitated the discovery of transposons (" jumping genes ").

Its frequency increased as a consequence of high genetic drift within this population.

Its relationship to other falcons is not clear ; the issue is complicated by widespread hybridization confounding mtDNA sequence analyses ; for example a genetic lineage of the Saker Falcon ( F. cherrug ) is known which originated from a male Saker producing fertile young with a female Peregrine ancestor, and the descendants further breeding with Sakers.

Its short life-cycle and high error rate cause the virus to mutate very rapidly, resulting in a high genetic variability of HIV.

Its cause is thought to be due to environmental or genetic factors or a combination.

Its closest counterpart was Heaven, Warren Worthington III's nightclub that formed a neutral zone from the genetic conflict that boiled outside.

Its DNA combines the genetic composition of all existing Pokémon species ; the game states that scientists within the game view it as being the single ancestor of all other Pokémon.

Its objective is to minimize, and eventually eliminate, the incidence of genetic disorders common to Jewish people, such as Tay-Sachs disease.

Its nearest genetic relations are the Kilenge and Maleu languages, its nearest geographic neighbour is the Papuan Kovai language.

Its most important use is for birth control ; practitioners apparently change the body temperature around their testes or ovaries so as to render their genetic material unviable.

Its species status has been confirmed by genetic studies, and it is very closely related to Liechtenstein's vole ( Microtus liechtensteini ) from the Eastern Alps ( Martinkova et al., 2007 ).

Its classification has been disputed in the past, with some suggestions that it may be best placed in its own family the Austrotaxaceae or be related to the Podocarpaceae, but recent genetic evidence places it firmly in the Taxaceae, related to the other yews in the genera Taxus and Pseudotaxus.

Its genetic classification remains unclear.
