It can be used in contexts discussing changes in quality, health, or status of something.
Example: "The recent reports indicate a decrease in condition of the infrastructure, raising concerns about safety."
Alternatives: "a decline in quality" or "a deterioration in state."
The reduction was attributed to less favorable environmental conditions, a decrease in La Niña conditions, and the lack of a "very persistent upper-level ridge pattern over the eastern U.S. and western Atlantic".
This would manifest as a decrease in the condition of offspring born to damaged or old parents.
Two severely affected cows developed visible and palpable alterations of skin, a decrease in body condition despite good feed intake, and chronic bovine besnoitiosis-associated laminitis leading to non-healing sole ulcers.
This suggests that the first component better represents overall growth that is more likely to be positively correlated with fitness, while the second represents elongation, which corresponds to a decrease in body condition [ 40].
Indeed, Bd infected palmate newts suffered from a decrease in body condition relative to controls and had delayed absorption of one temporary adaptations for aquatic life; both of which might impede the success of terrestrial migration.
However, hyaluronan depletion by PEGPH20 decreases nuclear HIF-1 α levels in both BxPC-3 and BxPC-3 HAS3 tumors– 5(c)), suggesting a decrease in hypoxic conditions after hyaluronan removal.
Finally, we studied the protein levels of E2F1, as reported in the blots in Figure 4E, showing a decrease in hypoxic conditions, whereas the NHI compounds determined a significant enhancement of E2F1 expression.
In this sense, a considerable decrease in condition and lipid energy stores might be responsible for migrating adults failing to swim the 6,000 km distance to the Sargasso Sea [ 29], while mobilization of lipids and lipophilic contaminants to the gonads during the transoceanic migration might compromise production of good quality eggs and normal development of early larval stages [ 30].
It should be noted that there was no significant negative coupling with collinearity; this was expected since none of the areas included in DCM showed a decrease in activity with condition ML compared with condition NC.
Similarly, a decrease in growth and condition of different fish species exposed to higher PCBs mixtures and heavy metals levels has been observed previously (Rowe et al. 2001, Alquezar et al. 2006).
