Sentence examples for by selection for morphological from inspiring English sources
The results of our experiments suggest that tree swallows do not express functional asymmetries or laterality in obstacle avoidance during escape flight and suggest constraints imposed by selection for morphological symmetry are responsible.
This indicates that traditional domestication by selection for morphological traits such as leaf size, beet shape and size, enhanced productivity, sugar content and palatability slightly affected salt tolerance of sugar beet cultivars.
On the basis of comprehensive foreground selection, phenotypic selection for morphological and quality traits, and background genotyping, three BC3F5 gene-pyramid lines with pyramided genes homozygous at all three target loci were derived from the donor parent.
These shared features are consistent with developmental consequences of selection for morphological specialisations [ 24].
Siepielski et al. (2009) found considerable year to year variation in both strength and direction of selection for morphological traits, and this may also hold true for height.
Thus, selection for general morphological shape may affect a suite of morphological characters correlated with that shape.
Consequently, we would not expect these breeds to have been subjected to selection for common morphological or adaptive phenotypes.
Further, the selected plants were subjected to stringent phenotypic selection for agro-morphological, grain and cooking quality traits.
We consider genetic differentiation to represent drift, and consequently test for selection in morphological traits by calculating the residual variation in Pst after taking variation in Fst into account.
Developmental mechanisms are usually assumed to evolve by natural selection of the morphological traits they produce.
Part of the accomplishment of early ethologists such as Konrad Lorenz, Niko Tinbergen, and Karl Von Frisch was to show that behaviors evolve by natural selection, just like morphological, physiological, and life history traits.
