A solvent in whose molecules there is either a permanent separation of positive and negative charges, or the centers of positive and negative charges do not coincide; these solvents have high dielectric constants, are chemically active, and form coordinate covalent bonds; examples are alcohols and ketones.1  Facebook.materials).

The bottleneck effect. The bottleneck effect is an extreme example of genetic drift that happens when the size of a population is severely reduced. Events like natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, fires) can decimate a population, killing most indviduals and leaving behind a small, random assortment of survivors.
The findings are the first to provide a large-scale body of evidence for the nocturnal bottleneck theory, which suggests that mammalian sensory traits have been profoundly influenced by an extended period of adaptation to nocturnality during the Mesozoic Era.
