Sentence examples for effect of selection for from inspiring English sources

We conclude that age and social isolation influence the level of CFL in fowl and that jungle fowl seem to be more sensitive to social isolation than leghorn, indicating a possible side effect of selection for increased production.

"We suggest that (evolutionary) selection for tooth loss (in birds) was a side effect of selection for fast embryo growth and thus shorter incubation," Mr. Yang and Professor Sander write in their paper (ref) (Figure 2). Figure 2. Schematic illustration of the hypothetical four stages of the evolution of edentulism.

We propose that cell emigration from a neoplasm is a side effect of selection for migration within a neoplasm.

The increase exceeded the effect of drift and sampling, suggesting a direct effect of selection for earliness on this gene.

A possible solution to this paradox is that mutational robustness is a side effect of selection for mechanisms that buffer environmental perturbations [23], [24].

Thus, in populations with lower variability, mutational robustness could certainly be a side effect of selection for mechanisms that mitigate the effects of environmental perturbations [ 17].

In order to avoid mistaking the effects of selection for those of drift or migration, we carried out preliminary tests of selective neutrality.

In this sense, reduction in disorder is not a side-effect of selection for reduced complexity, rather the mechanism of this evolutionary drive.

There is thus a strong potential for conflicting selection pressures on different aspects of performance: correlational selection on size and pigmentation might have enhanced crypsis in the new habitat, whereas relaxed selection on escape speed might have decreased the hydrodynamic efficiency as a side-effect of selection for prudent behaviors.

However, this could also be due to pleiotropic effects of selection for changes in recombinational repair or nuclease activity.

These haplotypic effects may reflect the effects of selection for functions that are epistatic in nature.
