Sentence examples for conflicting selection from inspiring English sources

Consequently, differences in song perception between males and females could potentially lead to conflicting selection pressures on song structure.

We identified four critical areas for future research: conflicting selection pressures on weeds in agroecosystems, feed-back driven dynamics of human-weed co-evolution, co-evolutionary mechanisms of weed adaptation in conjunction with other weed species or organisms, and the role of weed evolution in the restoration of agroecosystems.

Such a genotype phenotype map was proposed to reduce interference between the characters when the characters are under conflicting selection pressures (Wagner and Altenberg 1996).

In his bestselling evolution textbook for undergraduates, Futuyma (2009: 288) also appears to use selection pressures as generic placeholders for particular variables or processes: "The guppy experiments also show that a feature may be subjected to conflicting selection pressures (such as sexual selection and predation), and that the direction of evolution may then depend on which is stronger".

If operating simultaneously, the positive effects of phenotypic diversity and relatedness may result in conflicting selection on genetic diversity.

Thus, EC displays a fairly uniform color pattern of the habitats within each slope but places conflicting selection pressures on spiny mouse (A. cahirinus) to mimic differently colored habitats between the slopes (e.g., AS vs. ES).

AHP is used as a framework to formulize the evaluation of trade‐offs between the conflicting selections criteria associated with the various suppliers' offers (Nydick and Hill 1992; Radcliffe and Schniederjans 2003).

In contrast, Bonduriansky and Rowe [73] showed that male head elongation in a piophilid fly, Prochyliza xanthostoma, is under conflicting sexual selection.

Here we examine how a diverse set of fiddler crabs solve the problem of conflicting sexual selection on claw morphology.

Sexual conflict, sexual selection and sperm competition are predicted to exert a strong selective pressure driving the rapid evolution of reproductive genes including transcription factors [ 26, 27].

Our model suggests that as the global population becomes more integrated and the rate of intergroup conflict increases, selection increasingly favors unequally distributed power structures, where individual influence is weighted by acquired resources.
