As for species biodiversity, the link between genotype diversity and ecosystem function is suggested to be either a sampling effect, or a complementarity effect, or a combination of both.
In the M form, diversity was lower on Formosa; however, this site was represented by <10 samples, and thus is likely a sampling effect.
The discovery and reporting of sequences from previously unknown and distinct species, rather than from strains of known species, dominated the decay, indicating it was largely a sampling effect related to the progressive discovery of species, and recent virus mutation was probably only a minor contributing factor.
Alternatively, the increased survival of assemblages with higher A observed here may be due to a sampling effect with genomic backgrounds with increased metabolic efficiency under stressful conditions met during the experiment, more likely to be present in more diverse assemblages.
The higher TUNEL levels in the surgical specimen compared with baseline biopsy may be explained by a sampling effect in the first place.
This difference could be attributable to a "sampling effect" of the genotypes used or the sequences analyzed since the mentioned work only represents about 10% of the sequencing effort of the present work (ca 100500 bp, Table 1).
While several modules in the three life-form group treatments appeared to overyield for temporal stability of biomass (Fig. 1G), the particular treatments that performed this function well all contained succulents (Table 2), thus this is also likely a sampling effect.
Alternatively, if the high FIS is due to a sampling effect, for example, the pooling of a relatively small number of larval collections containing siblings, this would result in over-inflated estimates of population differentiation.
A sampling effect is the consequence of adding more genotypes, and thereby increase the likelihood that more profitable traits are included in the population [ 8, 9].
A sampling effect cannot be discarded, since the DNA of B73-SSA was obtained from a small pool of 5 6 seedlings.
