Sentence examples for a focal population from inspiring English sources
The pattern of genetic variation reported combined with data on the sizes of eight wild populations and the reproductive success of a focal population are consistent with the idea that relatively recent fragmentation and isolation may have increased local genetic differentiation and decreased within-population levels of genetic variation as a result of genetic drift and inbreeding.
However, if a focal population is already infected with a Wolbachia strain that shows bidirectional incompatibility with the release strain, invasion becomes more difficult.
To estimate P1, virgin SRS females (0-1 day old) were each mated once to a focal virgin male (0-1 day old) from a focal population.
Movement is thus thought to occur when a focal population of projection neurons becomes inhibited by feed forward input and thus disinhibits downstream pre-motor structures.
This study demonstrates the significance of viral genetic turnover within a focal population and the potential importance of adaptive evolution during viral epidemic expansion [ 132].
Virgin SRS females (0-1 day-old) were individually mated with virgin males (0-1 day-old) from a focal population.
Whether resistance detected across the landscape reflects ongoing de novo evolution in different hotspots or spread from a single focal population can determine the most effective mitigation strategy.
Third, we estimated the proportion of variation due to differentiation in a single focal population, FFT (see Materials and Methods).
Our temporal sampling allowed the investigation of overall population stability by assessing allele frequency change over time and the estimation of Ne for both the migrant population and a focal breeding population in Greenland.
Given that the population is "abstract" (i.e., it was not possible to obtain a list of all members of the focal population), a non-probability (purposive) sample was obtained.
One of the most unrealistic assumptions is that of panmixia in the focal population, a situation rarely applicable to social animals.
