Sentence examples for adaptive topography from inspiring English sources

Introduced ranges typically represent sub-adapted environments akin to a "valley" on the adaptive topography; species without pre-adapted histories will only persist if plasticity allows genetic assimilation or if post drift allele frequencies allow for the adaptation towards an alternative fitness peak.

Extremely high levels of plasticity enabled P. setaceum to cross adaptive valleys on the adaptive topography (analogous to conditions historically not encountered) to reach alternative optimal fitness peaks without the need for local adaptation and thus the chance to differentiate from source populations.

In the case of my simulation results, the fact that sign epistasis is a natural property realizable in functional networks alone would be consistent with the idea that their evolutionary dynamics in the fitness landscape may take place over very rugged topographies, with multiple adaptive peaks separated by small valleys.

Pampush, JD, Spradley, JP, Morse, PE, Griffith, D, Gladman, JT, Gonzales, LA, and Kay, RF. "Adaptive wear-based changes in dental topography associated with atelid (Mammalia: Primates) diets". Biological Journal of the Linnean Society 124, no. 4 (August 1 , 2018: 584-606.

While such determinism speeds adaptation on the smooth adaptive landscape represented by the simple environment, it can limit the ability of large populations from effectively exploring the underlying topography of rugged adaptive landscapes characterized by complex environments.

The corresponding surface adaptive algorithm was designed to obtain the surface topography.

A previous study on emmer wheat populations in micro-geographic sites in Israel, using allozymes and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, showed a possible nonrandom adaptive genetic differentiation at single and multilocus levels in contrasting soils, topographies, and climate [ 6].

A corresponding surface adaptive algorithm based on a progressive approximation method was designed to obtain surface topography.

Dental evolution affects the geometry of the tooth, but the adaptive relevance of these changes is related to tooth sharpness, complexity, and relief (topography).

For amphibians, complex topography may restrict vagility and produce marked population subdivision, and ultimately patterns of adaptive radiation or isolation patterns that are potentially implicated in high local rates of speciation [ 27].

The adaptive route taken by any given population is expected to be a function of the underlying topography of the fitness landscape [27] [29].
