Future experimental studies are needed to ascertain the traits that affect the genetic sensitivity to fragmentation, and to test restoration programmes that can benefit a spectrum of species that are functionally dissimilar.
The aim of this study was, therefore, to conduct a variable cluster analysis in order to ascertain how chronobiological traits collectively are associated with affect.
It is important to ascertain that the shared traits are homologous rather than analogous.
Although this procedure has proven useful in building community phylogenies (see below), they are in many cases incompletely resolved (particular in poorly studied taxa), and therefore, by extension, may have less statistical power than more fully resolved phylogenies to ascertain relationships between functional traits, community ecology, and evolutionary history [11].
Autism traits were ascertained in all participants using the adolescent version of the Autism Spectrum Quotient (Baron-Cohen et al., 2006b).
Consider the results of a series of N transethnic GWAS of a continuous or dichotomous trait, ascertained from populations P1, P2,…, P N, at a given variant.
In summary, and in the spirit of the studies of Long et al. [ 13, 35], a filter-wrapper two step feature selection method was used effectively to ascertain SNPs associated with quantitative traits.
Hendry et al. (2008) classified cases of contemporary trait change to ascertain the relative effects of humans compared to more natural contexts.
Kosrae samples were collected as part of a whole-genome association study for anthropometric and metabolic traits described elsewhere, ascertaining most adults and eventually collecting DNA from 3106 individuals out of 4100 adults on the island.
Our goal was to ascertain whether heterosis for any particular trait was predictive of heterosis for another trait.
