The phrase "abundance effect" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing psychology, economics, or behavioral science, particularly when referring to how the availability of resources influences decision-making or perception.
Example: "The abundance effect can lead consumers to overestimate the value of products when they are presented with a wide variety of options."
Alternatives: "surplus effect" or "plenty effect".
Although each study confirmed an abundance effect in affinity purification experiments for yeast, they did not perform comprehensive studies investigating the total extent of any abundance influence.
However, the high levels of nestedness observed in comensalistic networks were largely due to an abundance effect; observed N and NODF departed from null-model estimates only in half (patches) to one-quarter (transects) of cases (table 1).
The high levels of nestedness observed in comensalistic networks were, however, largely due to an abundance effect, as confirmed by the significance of the observed N and NODF values (only half to one-quarter of cases) and by Burns' null-model analysis [21].
We next studied if the protein abundance effect may account for the above significant difference between the Y2 H and other datasets.
Because a change in one unit for Ct reflects a twofold change in mRNA abundance, effect sizes in the figures and tables reflect powers of 2. Thus, an effect size of 5 indicates an increase in mRNA concentration of 2 = 32-fold.
Simply considering the impact of only highly-abundant proteins is insufficient to ascertain the scope of any abundance effects.
These analyses confirmed that the aforementioned changes were largely caused by abundance-independent effects – abundance effects having, actually, a homogenising effect in old-growth forests.
While these results may not be unexpected, here we quantify the levels of the abundance effects and show their persistence throughout the data sets.
Abundance effects may be particularly important in determining the distribution of invasive species [ 14].
Effects on juvenile proportions were less pronounced and more variable than effects on abundance, but effects in general were species- and chemical-specific, and temporal variations distinct.
The control RNAi did not alter ZIP4 abundance or effect induction of this protein during zinc-deficiency (Fig. 3).
