Sentence examples for driving adaptation from inspiring English sources

It has probably been an important factor driving adaptation during domestication, a process which has produced an enormous phenotypic intraspecific variation in an evolutionary short time [2].

This hints at the possibility of positive selection driving adaptation to a new environment, whether replication in the laboratory or survival in a new environmental niche in Europe.

Beneficial mutations are essential in driving adaptation and their statistical properties remain an open question (Orr 2010).

Our design is nearly unprecedented in scope in that the experiment incorporates biotic (competitors) and abiotic (climate) factors in driving adaptation.

We suggest that artificial selection may have accelerated the evolutionary process resulting in positive selective pressure driving adaptation of the TLR5 gene.

This is consistent with Ca2+ entry driving adaptation as previously demonstrated in hair cells from lower vertebrates (29, 31), but somehow different from recent findings in rat OHCs (32).

However, there are relatively few controlled studies that allow drivers to control the initiation of secondary tasks (strategic adaptation; cf. Horrey & Lesch, 2009) and encourage natural time sharing with driving (tactical adaptation).

Extreme weather events/impacts and recognising opportunities have been identified in other work as key drivers of adaptation, for example, in the development of National Adaptation Strategies in Europe (Biesbroek et al. 2010), and in driving institutional adaptation action in the UK (Tompkins et al. 2010).

Further, we describe how better understanding of the physics of Life can shed new light on the mechanism driving evolutionary adaptation (viz., 'Basis-Dependent Selection', BDS).

Although learnt signals, such as birdsong, vary in their transmission properties through different habitats, few studies have addressed the role of cultural selection in driving acoustic adaptation.
