Sentence examples for developmental threshold from inspiring English sources

Temperature fluctuation was more accurately modeled by hourly computations of development units than daily calculations, and larvae in fluctuating treatments that spanned the developmental threshold were detected in mosquito heads eight days sooner than larvae at the constant temperature, and they developed sooner than predicted by the standard HDU model.

Our all-American hero is Devin Jones, a sensitive boy who's since become a man and wants to tell us about that crazy time back in the innocent 1970s when he crossed a developmental threshold, simultaneously losing his virginity and gaining a mournful sense of life's fragility.

Developmental threshold models: Their application to ecological genetics and climate-change biology.

The variable dd is the sum of daily degrees of temperature above the developmental threshold for cotton of 12 °C (i.e., physiological time) during the growing period.

In the present results, the developmental threshold temperature of the Shandong clade (9.82 ± 1.44 °C) was lower than that of the Liaoning clade (10.72 ± 0.24 °C), while the effective accumulated temperature of the Shandong clade needed for development from oviposition to adult eclosion (126.45 ± 16.81 day-degree) was significantly higher than that of the Liaoning clade (107.99 ± 3.44 day-degree).

In this study, we found that the larval and pupal stages of Shandong clade females (9.32 ± 1.62 °C) and males (10.61 ± 1.58 °C) both had lower developmental threshold temperatures than that of the Liaoning clade (12.96 ± 1.56 °C, 13.33 ± 0.79 °C, respectively).

Results represented in Table 3 showed that the lower developmental thresholds of both males and females of the Shandong clade were lower (F = 3.350, df = 3, P = 0.026; F = 0.150, df = 3, P = 0.012) than those of the Liaoning clade.

Indeed, extensive work by Rendel provides rigorous evidence for cryptic genetic variation and buffering of SC variation at even numbers of bristles by successive developmental thresholds [26].

Based on the developmental thresholds previously defined for the carrier beetle, we determined the areas where the climate was suitable (TJul≥21.3°C and TJan≥−10°C) and we assumed that, once arrived at a given location, the pinewood nematode could establish only if the climate was suitable, otherwise the invasion would fail.

Developmental potentials are unexpressed genetic programs, such as gene networks, or unexpressed developmental thresholds that determine sensitivity of these networks to specific environmental conditions.

Expression of the DAG effector (RasGRP1) and the DAG-metabolizing enzymes (DGK) would help to establish developmental thresholds for homeostatic activation of Ras signals during DN-to-DP transition, and could provide a means to control TCR signal intensity and duration in the DP population.
