Sentence examples for differences in the biotic from inspiring English sources

This bacterial retention variability could be linked to differences in the biotic environments where each symbiotic association evolves.

Although differences in the soil biotic community among the tree species were observed, it is perhaps surprising that these differences were not more pronounced.

We interpret this to mean that the site groupings reflect differences in overall biotic composition among locations rather than the impact of one particular PC2 variable on the abundance of S. planifrons.

This has prompted formulation of several very interesting hypotheses to explain the biogeographic basis for the differences in biotic feedback mechanisms.

Fragmentation might induce parasite community diversification through local extinction driven by drift, or through species sorting and adaptation driven by local differences in biotic (e.g., the availability of intermediate and final hosts) or abiotic (e.g., turbidity, wave action and substrate type) conditions.

We predict that the hypothesized differences in the adaptive landscape of traits under biotic selection versus abiotic selection will lead to the differences in genetic architecture outlined above between these two types of traits.

Though the geometric model of adaptation predicts that high temporal or spatial variability in selective pressure by biotic forces should favor fixation of large-effect QTL, our finding of no differences in the fractions of antagonistic QTL for traits under biotic v. abiotic selection suggests that the large-effect QTL detected in this study cannot be attributed to a shifting adaptive landscape.

The qPCR analysis confirmed the significant differences in the quantitative response of these different group members to the different abiotic and biotic stress treatments observed using the mRNA-seq analysis.

Effect sizes differed between traits under abiotic and biotic selection, putatively due to differences in the adaptive landscapes associated with these traits.

Other biotic factors, such as differences in the abundance of macro-borers and grazers at shaded and sun-exposed sites, could also play a role [see 54].

Our analysis suggests interesting differences in the adaptive landscape for traits under abiotic and biotic selection.
