Sentence examples for both selection and drift from inspiring English sources

Experts may attribute change to either natural selection or genetic drift (e.g., Orr 1998), or they may incorporate both selection and drift (or other stochastic, non-adaptive processes; e.g., Ackermann and Cheverud 2004).

Analytical models of HIV-1 evolution with recombination allow description of viral evolution not only at the extremes of very small and very large Ne, where drift and selection, respectively, dominate, but also at intermediate values of Ne where both selection and drift remain important simultaneously [24], [27], [28], [31], [33]-[35].

Maintenance of variation is a classic paradox in evolution because both selection and drift tend to remove variation from populations [ 1- 3].

Co-occurrence of distinct colour forms is a classic paradox in evolutionary ecology because both selection and drift tend to remove variation from populations.

In the macro comparison both selection and drift can create the difference.

Both selection and drift have been proposed as mechanisms for higher frequencies of such mutations within Jewish Diaspora groups.

Understanding what keeps such behavioral variation in the population is an interesting future direction because both natural selection and drift operate to remove variation from populations (Brockmann 2001).

Suppose that instead of selection and drift we use the expression 'differential reproduction' to cover both.

Both are bridges to link genotypes with phenotypes and important for understanding how weak selection and drift interact in the evolution of complex systems.

Biologists often conceptualize selection and drift as alternative or competing evolutionary explanations; selection is deterministic, and drift is stochastic (Sober 1984, p. 110).

Thus, the primary debate concerns understanding what drift is, as well as the relative contributions of selection and drift.
