Sentence examples for climate traits from inspiring English sources

All leaf and climate traits except 'Margin untoothed' (see below) were log10-transformed prior to analysis in order to meet model assumptions of normality.

To test for significant relationships among the microbiological assemblage and climate traits [ 25], a distance-based multivariate analysis for a linear model (DistLM) and distance-based redundancy analysis (dbRDA) [ 26] were used.

Focusing on North China's climate trait, this paper analyzes the thermal characteristics and reasonable type choices of building glass system.

Recent advancements in plant breeding and biotechnology are making substantial contributions to engineering plants with tolerance to abiotic stresses; however, future plant breeding efforts must focus on integrating multiple climate adaptation traits in new cultivars to provide tolerance to a broad spectrum of adverse conditions.

For instance, negative genetic correlations between climate change related traits could prevent the evolution of a collective response to multivariate climate change (see Etterson and Shaw 2001).

We found that despite significant long-term trends in influential environmental factors, such as ocean and freshwater temperature, and despite abundant evidence that rapid evolution in climate-sensitive traits is possible, studies of natural adaptation to climate change in fishes are rare.

However, the profoundly intertwined mechanisms of evolution and plasticity in most climate-sensitive traits presents a major challenge for detecting adaptation to climate change in natural populations.

In a recent FAO report3 from the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture clearly identified "spatial analysis to identify varieties likely to have climate-adapted traits as an aid to plant breeding" as one of the eight priorities in multidisciplinary research.

A FAO report of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA 13/11) clearly identified "spatial analysis to identify varieties likely to have climate-adapted traits as an aid to plant breeding" as one of the eight priorities in multidisciplinary research.

To make specific predictions of evolutionary trajectories and obtain estimates of lag loads for natural populations, climatic changes have to be quantified in terms of fitness landscapes and genetic covariation among climate-related traits must be measured.

We previously reported association mapping of climate-related traits in Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) (Holliday et al. 2010).
