Sentence examples for by selection for enhanced from inspiring English sources

We confirm these display types are convergent (the consequence of independent evolution on each island) and provide evidence that the convergence was driven by selection for enhanced signal efficiency.

The similar and parallel evolution of both lineages toward large, involute shells with more complex suture lines and with closed umbilicus including the formation of an umbilical lid can be explained best by selection for enhanced hydrodynamic properties of the shell (selective/adaptive constraints).

This is counter to the notion that high performance swimmers will have been most strongly influenced by positive selection for enhanced OXPHOS performance assuming enhanced OXPHOS efficiency is the major contributor to high performance.

Our results suggest that genes involved in the same regulatory pathway could all be targeted by domestication selection for enhanced growth response and productivity.

However, Long and his team had good reasons to believe that selection for enhanced feeding behavior would make stiffer notochords evolve from generation to generation.

The elaborated and elongated features are generally assumed to be adaptations to the aphotic environment from selection for enhanced extra-optic sensory performance and efficiency of movement, and are considered as textbook examples of evolution by means of natural selection.

The identified motifs showed a higher average GC content than seed regions, suggesting selection for enhanced base pairing.

From an evolutionary perspective, an increasing frequency of prereproductive cancer deaths results in natural selection for enhanced cancer suppression.

Here we hypothesize that directional selection for enhanced vision in choosy B. anynana or relaxed selection [ 17] for vision in non-choosy B. anynana could be accompanied by plastic changes in eye size (via changes in the number or dimensions of the ommatidia) or in visual sensitivity (via changes in opsin levels).

Selection for enhanced resistance (i.e., immunological control of the virus) has been implicated in driving myxoma virulence upwards again [ 49, 50].

For example, it is commonly argued that longer sperm will be favoured by selection for increased swimming performance, and therefore enhanced competitiveness [ 4, 8].
