The phrase "a function of fitness" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, health, or any discussion involving the relationship between fitness and other variables.
Example: "The ability to run long distances is often seen as a function of fitness, influenced by both genetics and training."
Alternatives: "a measure of fitness" or "an aspect of fitness".
The lifetime fitness of an individual cell is a function of fitness measurements taken at three time points.
They found on MRI that gray and white matter brain areas increased in the aerobic but not the control group and this was related to a function of fitness training.
This finding may contribute to sex-specific differences in survival observed in CF. [ 28, 29] Although at least one study has reported that rates of FEV1 decline were associated with activity levels in girls, but not in boys [ 29], we did not see any sex-specific benefits of exercise in interaction modeling and the response to exercise may be more a function of fitness rather than gender [ 30].
Finally, in the philosophy of biology, the one-dimensional and multi-dimensional SWFL frameworks have been used (by Okasha 2009 and Bossert, Qi, and Weymark 2013) to analyse the notion of group fitness, defined as a function of individual fitness indicators.
However, in a group of healthy elderly adults, almost half of the age-related disconnections showed increased functional connectivity as a function of aerobic fitness level.
This work can explain the probability that a given mutation will fix as a population adapts, as a function of its fitness effect, the population size, mutation rate, distribution of fitness effects of other mutations, and other parameters of the evolutionary process.
AO subjects had higher functional capacity compared to SO subjects (Figure 1B), an indirect indication of better quality of life and functional independence which is a function of cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity status (Mailey et al., 2010 BMC Public Health).
Thus, WAAC uses the fraction of the number of ants that have chosen a particular descriptor rather than a function of the fitness of the ants that have chosen that feature.
The probability that a majority donor amino acid variant is transmitted is a function of relative fitness, here estimated by the frequency of the variant in the Zambian population.
It has been demonstrated that the phenotypic diversity of a gene family is controlled by selection as a function of evolutionary fitness [ 32].
It has been difficult to demonstrate how outcrossing rates evolve as a function of the fitness components expressed under selfing and under outcrossing [ 18- 21].
