The ability of animals to propel themselves efficiently through a fluid medium is ecologically advantageous.
Interestingly, genes transgressively transcribed in the allopolyploid are enriched for GO terms pertaining to cofactor binding, coenzyme binding, electron transport, oxioreductase activity, lyase activity, and the generation of precursor metabolites and energy, giving credence to the molecular underpinnings of the ecologically advantageous traits often seen in allopolyploids.
Following this notion, the ecologically so advantageous heavy-tailed searching strategy may be brought about by constantly engaging motor outputs and monitoring their effects in a decision-based queuing process.
For instance, seeking a new bio-based product to substitute traditional (petro chemical products can be advantageous ecologically, as it reduces the use of fossil raw materials or is economically interesting because the bio-source has a lower price, or it allows the incorporation of a certain naturally occurring chemical structure that offers better functionality.
These results have implications for the design of bottom-up management, where resource users themselves are incentivized to operate in ecologically sustainable and economically advantageous ways.
Consider why patents are economically advantageous.
Our results show that investing in ecological infrastructure in cities, and the ecological restoration and rehabilitation of ecosystems such as rivers, lakes, and woodlands occurring in urban areas, may not only be ecologically and socially desirable, but also quite often, economically advantageous, even based on the most traditional economic approaches.
Bacterial speciation usually takes place with lasting homologous recombination, which not only acts as a cohering force between diverging lineages but brings advantageous alleles favored by natural selection, and results in ecologically distinct species, e.g., frequent host shift in Xanthomonas pathogenic to various plants.
An attractive extrapolation of such structuring of HGT is the hypothesis of "niche-specific gene pools" that contribute to adaptation within an ecologically determined framework, via the transfer of genes that are selectively advantageous within a certain niche (Popa et al. 2011; Smillie et al. 2011; Polz et al. 2013).
Depending on the direction, deviations can either represent an increase in introgression rates (likely affecting loci that are advantageous to the population) or a decrease in introgression rates (likely affecting loci that are ecologically disadvantageous or that act epistatically).
