The genes SHEM 4, MP8, SERP and KRMP failed to display differentially significant expression patterns among phenotypes because of high individual variability in the expression of those genes in the C phenotype (which we used as a reference value, Fig. 5).
Because of a high individual variability of the characteristic, these values were normalized as quartiles.
(1 Excluded because of too high individual variability in healthy volunteers.
All respondents, with the exception of three persons, expressed fears related to DM because of different complications, mainly coma but also loss of sight, heart failure, stroke and diabetic foot ulcers, and in one case inability to buy drugs because of high costs (individual and social factors).
Yet to defect is tempting because it yields a higher individual payoff regardless of the opponent's decision.
Although the divergence between the two groups is suggestive of selection, FST values alone are insufficient for determining if a locus is the target of selection, because high individual values of FST could also result from genetic drift or demographic events [12].
Long-term measurements of exhumation are not sufficient to capture the processes driving transient responses associated with short-term climatic oscillations, because of high variability of individual processes across space and time.
However, theory predicts that more active individuals grow faster because of higher food uptake, and thus they are bigger than more sedentary counterparts [ 56].
Resulting clusters will reflect individuals that group together because of higher genomic similarities [ 5].
It is likely that more individuals successfully reached and established closer to the cerrado edge because of higher propagule pressure.
