Sentence examples for antagonistic pressure from inspiring English sources

They favor antagonistic pressure, leading to a revolution with no central authority (a plan perhaps more promising in theory than in practice).

The Red Queen Hypothesis, for example, posits that parasites track down and specialize on the locally common genetic defence systems of its host that drives the evolution of sexual reproduction to diversify the genetic constituency of populations responding to the antagonistic pressure.

While this tachyzoite was unable to overcome the local strong antagonistic pressure (that is, resistance) in the cell and, thus, to move forward, we could track the rearward capping of RON2 molecules and their trapping into the membranous piece of the residual body followed by the release of the whole material in the medium.

The genes involved in applying the imprints and interpreting them are therefore expected to be under sexually antagonistic selection pressure.

Despite this, the sexual antagonism theory predicts some evolution of the imprinting machinery in light of the possibility for sexually antagonistic selection pressure on it.

The kinship theory derives imprinted expression from parentally antagonistic selection pressure, the strength of which can be most easily manipulated by adjustments to the mating system (for example, Holland and Rice, 1999).

Selection is unlikely to act on phenotypic traits in isolation and, should genetically correlated traits be exposed to antagonistic selection pressures, rates of microevolution will be slowed (conversely, should they be exposed to synergistic selection pressures, rates will be accelerated).

Therefore, mechanisms by which host species lose their Wolbachia despite these antagonistic selection pressures are still unclear, and the male-specific repression of Wolbachia that is presented here seems to be one theoretical possibility to solve this paradox.

This locus therefore appears, in some environments at least, to be experiencing conflicting (i.e., antagonistic) selection pressures in the two sexes.

Temporal fluctuating regimes can lead to antagonistic selection pressures and thus to slower evolutionary responses (e.g. alternating light dark in Chlamydomonas algae; [ 32]).

By selecting parasites that were able to infect and kill their hosts, and hosts that were able to survive the previous generation, it was ensured that both coevolving partners were exerting antagonistic selective pressures on each other [ 41].
