To accomplish that, nature will bring back its essential contribution: the ancestral species and genera that in millions of years led to the development of forms exploited by man should constitute the basis for the divergent selection of the new type of cane, the energetic plant.
Tonic immobility was the selection criterion for the divergent selection of two quail lines: the LTI and STI lines [ 27].
Our evaluation of selection pressure indicates diversifying selection at the initial duplication event and more recent divergent selection of BSP and WIN4-like subfamily members.
Divergent selection of Japanese quail for susceptibility and resistance to atherosclerotic plaque formation induced by dietary cholesterol have resulted in two strains i.e. atherosclerosis-susceptible (SUS) and atherosclerosis-resistant (RES) strains that are valuable models.
Thus, our results suggest that the life-history differences between males (effectively solitary) and females (colonial) may impose divergent selection on expression of immune system genes in social insects.
Thus, any differential patterns of sexual reproductive success could be attributed to the indirect effects of divergent selection on non-sexual traits that had overpowered the unifying effects of parallel selection on the sexual phase.
In that study, four generations of divergent selection on longer male lifespan resulted in approximately zero correlated response in female longevity, whereas selection for shorter male lifespan yielded a strong correlated response in female longevity [36].
Tests from nature are also lacking, owing in part to the difficulty of providing the required estimates of divergent selection for multiple taxon pairs at different stages of evolutionary divergence.
One set of models combines the process of divergent selection for resource use with the evolution of assortative mating.
We have investigated the behavioural consequences of a single generation of divergent selection for IGEg in pigs in two housing systems.
Such a pattern is indistinguishable from sex-limited gene expression, and while that would also point to a history of divergent selection for separate fitness optima, it would reflect a fundamentally different pool of standing genetic variation.
