Whereas male-limited evolution "masculinised" the genome without making it more harming, our selection regime directly selected for components of interlocus conflict and led to the evolution of mate-harm.
Thus, it is conceivable that selection has directly selected for increased noise as a bet hedging strategy for a subset of promoters, and more recent theoretical work shows that increasing gene expression noise may indeed increase population growth rates in some scenarios (Tanase-Nicola and ten Wolde, 2008).
Gould and Lewontin thus defined "spandrels" in the evolutionary biology context, to mean any biological feature of an organism that arises as a necessary side consequence of other features, which is not directly selected for by natural selection.
In contrast to previous methods[11, 12], the proposed adaptive waveform selection method is not iterative; in contrast, waveform parameters are directly selected based on the state information on the weak target relative to the strong targets.
Other titans of the field, such as Pinker, believe language is like any other complex faculty and that it was directly selected for.
Aides to the governor said he did not have the power to remove Mr. Baraka because Mr. McGreevey had not directly selected him.
These are genes which really are directly selected for their own physical qualities, not for their effects on the physical qualities of the cells that surround them.
The PID controller gains are then directly selected from the parameter region.
If the only one action node is connected it can be directly selected.
Therefore, I directly selected the Richards model to predict the culm growth processes during the first stage and found an accurately simulated effect for all DBH classes.
Direct assigned attributes/properties: this class contains attributes that are representable as features, because they can be directly selected by stakeholders during the product configuration phase at development time.
