Sentence examples for consequence of selection for from inspiring English sources

Consequently, coloration in these species may be a consequence of selection for chemical defense.

When introduced into the lab, organisms may evolve as a consequence of selection for better growth and as a consequence of the loss of selective pressures that are present in the wild [ 30, 33].

In this paper we investigated the hypothesis that prolonged family production is a consequence of selection for growth in Nile tilapia.

This observation suggests that there has been evolutionary changes in cortical organization of the precentral gyrus that may be a consequence of selection for increasing motor control of the hand in great apes compared to other primates [17].

The functional characterization of nadZs revealed a very close relation among all Zs, adjacent or not (see Fig. 4, text S1 section 4 and appendix), and indicates that the emergence of these aggregated FFLs could be a consequence of selection for the (X,Y) combinatorial logic, independent of genome location.

One open question that arises from our results is if given the properties of robustness associated to I4-FFLs, their abundance as regulatory module could be considered as an exaptation (an spandrel in S. J. Gould usage) that results from selection of larger and more complex network structures or, perhaps, as a direct consequence of selection for increased robustness [37].

These shared features are consistent with developmental consequences of selection for morphological specialisations [ 24].

We determined the behavioural consequences of selection for IGEs for growth (IGEg) in pigs in a G × E treatment design.

Consequences of selection for IGEg on the behavioural repertoire of pigs are largely unknown, as well as the potential dependency of IGEg on the environment.

This study explores the consequences of selection for production traits and demonstrates evolutionary genetics of taurine cattle in both temperate (favourable) and tropical (unfavourable) environments.

The genetic trends in fitness (inbreeding, fertility and survival) of a closed nucleus flock of Menz sheep under selection during ten years for increased body weight were investigated to evaluate the consequences of selection for body weight on fitness.
