Sentence examples for ecological origin from inspiring English sources

Four species of distinctly different ecological origin (Leucophyllum frutescens, Spiraea vanhouteii, Viburnum tinus, Arctostaphylos densiflora) were chosen in order to obtain a wide range of responses, and their water use was measured in plants growing in 3.8 l containers and compared to that of the same species growing in drainage lysimeters, representative of landscape conditions.

The ecological origin and fitness consequences of such interactions between antipredator adaptations and other phenotypic traits are therefore of central interest to evolutionary ecologists.

Secondly, strains from common ecological origin did not group together.

Acquiring morphological profiles from relevant ecological conditions would be more appropriate to reveal associations between traits and ecological origin.

We observed abundant trait variation between strains, with no correlation with their ecological origin or population history.

Previous work on S. cerevisiae demonstrated that strains from the same ecological origin cluster together phylogenetically (Liti et al. 2009; Schacherer et al. 2009), whereas studies on Saccharomyces paradoxus have instead found evidence that clades tend to correspond to the geographical location isolates were obtained from.

On the other hand, although families used in this study came from contrasting ecological origins, population differences in survival, diameter and height were not obvious, which may be attributable to the fact that the Chilean tree improvement programme has selected families that perform well across a wide range of sites.

An analysis of scientific production allowed us to return to the ecological origins of this concept and see how little it has been appropriated by agricultural sciences until now, despite major focus on the issue of agro-ecosystems in the literature.

Lanotte et al. determined some genetic features of 162 isolates from different ecological origins [111] and found that 3 major genogroups of P. aeruginosa isolates were able to colonize CF patients.

The natural yeast strains analyzed were derived from different geographical and ecological origins, and displayed diverse morphological phenotypes [ 9].
