An advantageous allele (or a neutral allele linked to a gene under selection by hitch-hiking) is more likely to cross a genetic barrier and to spread within populations of the recipient lineage if the allele is advantageous for both lineages (e.g. [ 81, 82]).
Since GC formation is integral for high-affinity antibody production and strong humoral immune responses, continued development of materials that promote these structures may be particularly advantageous for parasitic diseases (e.g., malaria) which involve extracellular pathogens that could be bound or neutralized by antibodies.
New possibilities for uniform data collection in several countries are emerging that are advantageous for the field of e-epidemiology [ 21, 22].
Such advertisement may serve the function of attracting individuals in order to enter into some advantageous interaction (e.g., courtship for reproductive purposes) or of warning or repelling other organisms (aposematic coloration).
Indeed, for brain imaging studies, the absence of performance differences can be advantageous for removal of secondary performance-related effects (e.g., frustration) that may confound the group comparison [ 42].
A broad range of biochars with advantageous properties (e.g., high surface area, flexible architecture, and high porosity) has been developed for pollution abatement.
A seven item measure assessed expectations that taking a family history would be advantageous (e.g., "basis for providing preventive guidance to patients").
For others, such as coumarins and rhodamines, modern organic reactions (e.g., transition metal-catalyzed cross-couplings) are advantageous for the expeditious synthesis of otherwise challenging compounds.
This increased complexity as well as the presence of highly variable genes (e.g., major variable surface protein) might be advantageous for viral defence.
It is well accepted that leadership-relevant constructs (e.g., leader support, family supportive supervisor behaviors) are advantageous for subordinates' work-family experiences.
Mimicking certain features (e.g. nanoscale topography and biological cues) of natural extracellular matrix (ECM) is advantageous for the successful regeneration of damaged tissue.
