The phrase "alleviated selection" is not commonly used in written English and may not convey a clear meaning.
It could be used in contexts discussing reduced or eased selection pressures in evolutionary biology or decision-making processes.
Example: "The introduction of new resources has led to alleviated selection among the competing species in the ecosystem."
Alternatives: "reduced selection" or "eased selection pressures".
Presumably, this would alleviate selection pressure for loss of the BRCA2wt allele in BRCA2 mutation carriers.
In spite of the steep drop in return after a limited amount of survey effort, it is important to sustain such effort in order to alleviate selection bias.
Theory also posits that occurrence of any one of the above alternatives will alleviate selection and thus limit the impetus for further divergence in the same trait(s) along any other factors (e.g., sex, ontogenetic stage, population) [ 11, 12, 19- 21].
These values may be somewhat overestimated due to the instances of Nc nucleotides that are not selected against; still, this load is too high, unless it is alleviated by selection being globally epistatic rather than multiplicative, and/or stabilizing rather than purifying (Kondrashov 1995; Charlesworth 2013).
The strong association between protein cost and localization shows that the costs of public good provision can be partly alleviated by selection of less costly amino acids.
First, the requirement for empanelled hospitals to hold health outreach camps possibly alleviated the selection created by the provision of health insurance, whereby those who are best off are also the ones most likely to take advantage of its benefits.
Such deleterious effects are expected to be selected against (see e.g. Pavard and Metcalf 2007; Drenos and Kirkwood 2010), especially to the extent that they occur before reproduction and alloparental care-giving have largely ceased, they can be dissociated genetically via recombination, or they can be alleviated by selection and response at interacting loci.
It is proposed that there is some stabilizing factor associated with the commonly encountered antibiotics that alleviates the selection pressure to design new antibiotics.
However, the large number of participants from 19 centers located throughout the country may alleviate potential selection bias.
