It is clearly connected to mating.
It was assumed that this difference was connected to mating system (outcrossing vs. selfing) because selective forces favouring selfing (e.g. marginal habitats or range edges with a lack of pollinators) would also favour phenotypic plasticity.
However, no putative RME1 binding motif was identified when the promotor regions of 22 genes connected to mating were analyzed (data not shown) and there seems to be no homolog to S. pombe Ste11 in the P. pastoris genome, leaving the question unanswered how P. pastoris concerts nutritional and mating signaling.
And so on, always a ply further away from mate until all positions that are thus connected to mate have been found.
Within regions, populations significantly differed in general measures of sporophytic fitness, but not in pollen tube growth rate, timing of stigma receptivity, and other traits presumably connected to the mating system (flower size and timing of anther-stigma contact).
Under positive assortative mating a woman's education is causally connected to her mate's education, so that the effect of education on household permanent income is augmented through a multiplier effect.
People were less liable to lie on their profiles when they were connected to potential mates through their friends.
"Normally, when you are connected to your mate, your spouse, your partner, you'd expect to see more of a connection between the two, because when you think about lives lost and then you have your life partner next to you, it does make you want to clasp that person a little tighter, hold them a little closer.
Apparently, the students in high-density housing, where everyone was packed close together, felt less connected to their college mates and this apparently dampened their generosity.
Each heterodimer (latent and active form) is on the one side connected to its symmetry mate via a protein protein contact and on the other side linked to the next heterodimer by two Anderson POMs (Fig. 14) resulting in a 1 1 1 stoichiometry (latent form PPO4:active form PPO4 TEW).
These include many behaviors closely connected to reproduction, such as mating, courtship, offspring care, and aggressive behaviors.
