Sentence examples for breadth of the host from inspiring English sources

When "taxonomic" species were lumped together, the breadth of the host range of the resulting "phylogenetic species" was re-estimated, taking into account the host plant repertoire of all the species clustered together.

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).

In turn, this may influence the subsequent priming of cytotoxic T cells versus antibody-secreting B cells, with implications for the breadth and durability of the host response.

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.

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

Genome size of these strains correlates with the breadth of their host ranges.

We found no functional association for host genes of miRNAs, regardless of node depth (data not shown) nor an significant differences between the expression level or breadth of APC and NL miRNA host genes.

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.

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.

They find that hosts and parasites from spatially structured populations should be less constrained by costs associated with 'generalism' than those from well-mixed populations, and therefore, that spatial structure is likely to increases the breadth of host resistance/parasite infectivity, especially when this increased breadth carries a significant fitness cost (Ashby et al. 2014).

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.
