Sentence examples for arbitrary mating from inspiring English sources
Alternatively, these arbitrary mating aggregations may be more structured, with males defending small, resource-free display territories, also known as leks (Höglund & Alatalo, 1995).
In his seminal book, he describes a "runaway process" where mating preferences for quite arbitrary secondary sexual characters (henceforth called "ornaments") can rapidly evolve in a self-reinforcing way.
Under this model, mating preferences could be spread by arbitrary or even deleterious traits that carry no benefits to fitness, besides sexual selection.
Complex mating structures such as cross breeding, overlapping generations, and arbitrary user-defined pedigrees are straightforward.
Interestingly, the resurgent, contemporary version of sexual selection theory is largely organized around the Neo Wallacean assumption that the evolution of mating preferences will be dictated by strong natural selection for honest indicators of male quality or mating efficiency, and does not follow Darwin's own arbitrary, aesthetic view (Cronin 1991; Prum 2010, 2012).
Do not mate or use mating terms!
After the identification of the sequences of the PR genes in S. salmonicolor and S. johnsonii, it became clear that as a result of the original arbitrary assignment of mating types, each STE3 allele was associated with strains of the opposite mating type, (e.g. STE3.A1 was found in S. salmonicolor and S. johnsonii MAT A2 strains, [ 24]).
We imposed an arbitrary threshold for the number of independent mate-pair mappings to annotated gene regions required to trigger a significant association.
Rather, as in mate choice, aesthetic change can proceed in arbitrary directions depending upon the intrinsic consequences of evaluative success of various communication signals in creating coevolutionary feedback.
