Sentence examples for competition susceptibility from inspiring English sources

Numerous investigations have demonstrated that the effect of UV-B enhancements on plants includes reduction in grain yield, alteration in species competition, susceptibility to disease, and changes in plant structure and pigmentation.

Dry periods in spring and summer, competition from hardwoods, susceptibility to diseases and pests attacks and forest fires are the main risks for cultivation of planted forests.

More recently, Lipsitch et al. [ 9], focusing on the competitive ability of specific serotypes in Kenya, reported significant differences in susceptibility to competition, which appears positively correlated with the rate of clearance.

When y and a equal 1, the two pneumococcal strains are competitively equivalent in the absence of H. If, however, the acquisition and maintenance of the capsule come at some cost (relative to PS), then y > 1 > a, and in the absence of H, PS will always replace PR (a < 1 implies an attenuated competitive impact of PR, and y > 1 implies an increased susceptibility to competition in PR).

Switching of the capsule type from PS→R was sufficient to eliminate its susceptibility to competition, whereas switching the capsule type from PR→S was sufficient to render it sensitive to competition by H.

Moreover, native species exhibit different levels of susceptibility to competition with P. juliflora, particularly in terms of plant growth.

The suggestion that activated representations in lateral PFC may bias competition and reduce interference susceptibility during the recent negatives task is not a new one [36], [37].

It was also striking that over-nutrition (high fat diet and small litter size to reduce competition) did not increase susceptibility to DIO, even though it was clear from the microarray data that profound, widespread changes in gene expression were caused by the high fat diet fed to the dam (Fig. 2D).

Hence, individuals vary in their susceptibility to competition.
