In the genetic introgression hypothesis of M. neotredecim [34], alleles for the 13-year cycle are assumed to be strongly advantageous because 13-year life cycles seems to have some advantage in southern climates, while 17-year cycles survive better in the north [19].
Water saving devices in the sanitary equipment, such as flow regulators, are assumed to be environmentally advantageous even though their environmental benefit has never been compared to the environmental burden caused during their production und disposal.
Yet, animals are confronted with items that vary in size throughout their lives, such as foods, conspecifics or predators, and the ability to discriminate items on the basis of their size is assumed to be highly advantageous.
For situations with low heritabilities and in situations where the trait is assumed to be polygenic, the genome-wide prediction approaches might be advantageous for the detection of donor effects, even for full-rank design matrices.
In this respect, the SG method seems to be advantageous as the time horizon specified in the question is assumed to be independent of the QALY-utility derived [ 44].
The selection strength was set to 100 and 500 (in weak and strong selection model, respectively), and the selection intensity for the advantageous homozygote was assumed to be twice of the intensity of the heterozygote.
Large body size is often assumed to be beneficial in competitive encounters, indeed in solitary Eurytoma sp wasps large size is advantageous in encounters at female emergence sites (Macedo et al., 2013 b).
Simultaneously analyzing data from multiple groups is only advantageous when at least one of these variance components can be assumed to be homogeneous across the groups.
For Ward, being a woman has actually turned out to be advantageous to her reporting rather than holding her back, as many might assume.
