However, some contingency genes, namely Cj0045c, Cj0170, Cj0565, Cj1145c, Cj1295, and Cj1429c, appear to be under stabilizing selection for a single phase after passage, with only small populations of one base insertion and deletion mutants.

Second, some traits may be under stabilizing selection in nature because of their effects on spore production.

Phenotypic complexity and restricted pleiotropy appeared to be under stabilizing selection due to a balance between their benefits and costs.

We detected a high number of new polymorphisms in the population at T1, the majority of which appear to be under stabilizing selection.

Wing shape across the Drosophila genus is remarkably conserved (Houle et al. 2003) and may be under stabilizing selection or canalization (Gilchrist et al. 2000).

Finally, the distribution of queen mate number in both species deviated from simple expectations suggesting that mate number may be under stabilizing selection.

This model predicts that adaptive traits that are under stabilizing selection and show the molecular signature of a selective sweep are only a very small subclass of quantitative traits.

A notable observation from our analysis is that the miRNA precursor loop length is under stabilizing selection since we observed a strong depletion of indels in the loop relative to flanking control regions (Table S2, Text S1) (one-sided Z test, insertions Z>3.4, P-value<0.0003, deletions Z>3.9, P-value<4.8e-5).

One explanation for the observed pattern is that mate number is under stabilizing selection.

This observation suggested that miRNA expression is under stabilizing selection due to functional constraints on miRNAs in ESCs.
