Sentence examples for driven by adaptation from inspiring English sources

Given the important respiratory function of the UP, variation in morphology suggests that differences in ventilatory mechanics may be driven by adaptation to locomotion.

The human nose is the primary reservoir of S. aureus, and evolution of the species was probably driven by adaptation to this milieu.

The function and ontology of these genes suggest that high divergence may be a consequence of a local and accelerated evolution possibly driven by adaptation [36] (Figure 6).

If this were true, the lack of prokaryotes with a high level of disorder among hyperthermophiles would not reflect a selection against structural disorder driven by adaptation to high temperatures, rather it a random drift or selection for other features more related to phylogenetic relationships [40].

Alternatively, the diversification of widespread species could be driven by adaptation along environmental abiotic gradients.

Alternatively, the diversification of widespread species might be driven by adaptation along environmental gradients.

"We wondered if perhaps the split of the original species into these two is driven by adaptations in their visual system due to light at different water depths," Dr. Seehausen said.

Crucially, the rib cage, sternal morphology and associated musculature, appear to be driven by adaptations to different forms of locomotion.

Early expansions, although driven by adaptations to environmental conditions, increase evolutionary potential due to neutral hitchhiking of stretches of genes.

The successional dynamics of the three phenotypes are thus likely driven by adaptations to a changing metabolic niche space, defined by fluctuating glucose, acetate and, potentially, oxygen availabilities (Le Gac et al., 2008; Tyerman et al., 2008; Herron and Doebeli, 2013).

Given the quantitative nature of production traits, it can be anticipated that most of the genetic changes introduced by artificial selection in the genomes of meat and dairy sheep are driven by polygenic adaptation i.e. shifts in the allele frequencies of hundreds or thousands of loci that have small effects on the selected trait3.
