Indeed, Roberts (2009) in reviewing the history of the cross-situational consistency problem in personality theory noted that most definitions of traits are consistent with the idea of cross-situational variability (traits help to predict behaviour in context, even if a trait does not predict identical behaviour across contexts) rather than stability.
These traits are consistent with the opposing strategies of fire resistance and fire evasion and can be interpreted as evolutionary adaptations to fire, but their development and coexistence are highly variable between populations, thus invalidating the classification of maritime pine in a general fire regime category.
To assess the relative importance of phylogenesis versus ethnogenesis, researchers have employed measures of 'tree-likeness,' which quantify the degree to which a set of traits are consistent with a branching-tree model [4].
These phenotypic traits are consistent with mixed cultures of rHpSCs and of rHBs.
All these traits are consistent with those of the A4 type strain (493 89).
Both fiber traits were consistent for a Gh positive effect (lower fineness and higher length), but the clustering was unreliable.
Similarly, the observation of three QTL markers suggestively or significantly associated with both fiberwall thickness and wood density traits is consistent with the strong phenotypic and genetic correlations repeatedly observed between wood density and the thickness of the tracheid cell walls (for examples of Scots pine, see Fries 2012; Hong et al. 2014).
These studies have generally demonstrated that the genetic architecture of one or more key life history traits was consistent with the capacity to sustain either both of the models [ 19- 27] 27], or the compatibility model in particular [ 18, 21, 26].
A cluster dendrograms designed based on seed traits was consistent with the finding from environmental and genetic data obtained using Ward's method and the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means.
This causal view of latent traits is consistent with the aim of GWAS to detect genetic variants that cause individual differences in operationalizations such as sum-scores.
