Sentence examples for breadth of host from inspiring English sources

As a measure of the breadth of host gene expression, we calculated the Shannon entropy for each gene expression profile.

Limitations set by galling behaviour of pollinating fig wasps might have consequences for the breadth of host phenotypes that can be used for reproduction and between which pollen is transferred.

All monoecious species (except for B. bicolor) are specialists, but the posterior predictive test for association between life cycle type and breadth of host range yielded non-significant results (D = 0.19, p = 0.11).

For example, a model based on interactions between bacteria and their bacteriophage parasites by Ben Ashby and collaborators has demonstrated the importance of spatial structure in shaping the breadth of host resistance.

Third, we obtained a crude index of the breadth of host range by counting the number of the host types that each pathogen species is known to infect: 0 (i.e., not zoonotic), 1, 2, and 3 or more.

However, when the fraction of emerging and reemerging species is compared with the breadth of host range (as the number of host types other than humans), a pattern becomes apparent.

This study also documented that AMF had high specificity of host plant superorders and wider distribution with larger breadth of hosts.

For instance, evolutionary history, in combination with ecological heterogeneity, should shape taxonomic diversity of hosts and thus modulate the opportunity for parasites to exploit a wide or narrow breadth of hosts.

The number of known hosts of a pest or pathogen is a good indicator of the expected overall breadth of hosts for a pest or pathogen, which, when combined with the phylogenetic signal in host range, presents a simple predictor of which hosts a particular pest or pathogen is likely to attack.

This means that when a pest has more than a small number of hosts, each additional host would necessarily also expand the phylogenetic breadth of the host range, even when there is a phylogenetic signal in host range (Fig. 1).

The aim of this study is to test one of the predictions from the oscillation hypothesis: a positive correlation between diet breadth (number of host plants used) and geographic range size, using the globally distributed butterfly subfamily Nymphalinae.
