Some philosophers have argued that not all traits that are culturally transmitted or learnt can be properly understood using adaptationist methods, because many of these traits are not heritable even in this weaker sense, and hence cannot be adaptations (Driscoll, 2009; Driscoll and Stich, 2008; Kitcher, 1990).
Because all of these traits have positive narrow-sense heritabilities (Table 3), they are expected to respond to this temperature-induced selection.
We measured larval size and swimming performance as indicators of larval quality because both of these traits may influence larval survival (Vigliola and Meekan 2002; Fuiman and Cowan 2003).
Because of those traits, Admiral Mullen said, the military receives vast resources — and then is asked to do even more.
Maybe it's because it has both of these traits – or maybe because it doesn't really have either – that Frequency is the best of either bunch.
This means, for instance, despite variance homogeneity for BMI, %FAT, and %TFAT under the GxTDEE model, that a significant interaction with TDEE was still present because the genetic correlation of these traits under distinct TDEE levels was not equal to 1.
It's because of these inherent traits that it has yet to be proven whether this new administration – or any other – can truly absorb cutting-edge technology and its entrepreneurial culture.
Because of these extraordinary traits, we conducted research both on the genome sequence and the conformation of the cpDNA.
Although included in the analyses of contemporary rainforest-ecotone differentiation, we did not evaluate morphological divergence in size-corrected wing and tail measurements, because for museum specimens regressions of these traits on tarsus length were not statistically significant.
The effect FLC on traits other than flowering time traits may be caused by FLC's direct role in the development of these traits, because of its effect on flowering time that in turn affects these traits, or both.
