The phrase "a considerable selection pressure" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions related to evolutionary biology, ecology, or any context where the concept of selection pressure is relevant.
Example: "In this environment, there is a considerable selection pressure that favors individuals with better camouflage."
Alternatives: "significant selection pressure" or "substantial selection pressure".
Because rhodopsin has very high expression levels in mammals [ 56], the gene should be experiencing considerable selection pressure to minimize translation errors while maintaining a high translation rate.
The widespread use of such programmes has substantially reduced clinical disease, especially that associated with large strongyle species; however, high treatment frequency has led to considerable selection pressure for anthelmintic resistance, particularly in cyathostomin species.
On the other hand, such dosage still exerts considerable selection pressure.
We demonstrate later that there is considerable selection pressure on the prey to time this turn so that it occurs close to the contact point (but not so close that the predator catches it).
Persistent infection of nonactivated T-lymphocytes (where low levels of viral replication occurs) has been detected in individuals on successful HAART with BDL. 5 Thus, it is apparent that HAART exerts considerable selection pressure on HIV, which provides partial restoration of the host immune system.
Though there is a considerable selection of Japanese whiskey on those shelves, the customers were partial to Western spirits.
Thus, our study indicates the presence of a considerable positive selection pressure in diversification of the Prochlorococcus core genome, which in turn, suggests an appreciable role of random genetic drift in vertical niche partitioning of the strains.
Higher duplicability may enforce the slower evolutionary rate on AD genes in contrast to other two classes since duplicated genes encounter more purifying selection than singletons even though shortly after the duplication, they experience a considerable relaxation of selection pressure [ 25].
Systematic mass treatments exert a strong selection pressure for resistance.
Generally, a lower selection pressure indicates a higher evolutionary rate.
