Sentence examples for evolution of the breeding from inspiring English sources

It eventually drives the evolution of the breeding system from distyly to dioecy.

While associations between mutations at different loci remain small even under inbreeding, each viability locus develops an association with the modifier of the rate of self-fertilization that substantially affects the evolution of the breeding system.

Because monogamy creates high-relatedness family groups, kin selection has been concluded to drive the evolution of cooperative breeding (i.e., the monogamy hypothesis).

Over the past few years, Jacobus Boomsma, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Copenhagen, has argued that strict monogamous behavior, such as an ant queen mating for life, spurred the evolution of cooperative breeding in some social insects.

Monogamous behavior on the part of females in mating with only one male does not appear to generally act as a spring-loaded preadaptation for the evolution of cooperative breeding.

Numerous studies have suggested that inbreeding depression is a potent force in the evolution of plant breeding systems and that inbreeding depression is greater for plants that typically outcross than for plants that typically self due, presumably, to the purging of deleterious recessives upon repeated inbreeding, (see reviews by [ 2, 10, 27]).

Appropriate genetic markers would help to increase the understanding of, for example, the evolution of breeding systems and the connectivity between populations, but markers are available for fewer than 15 Charadriiformes species.

Other shared life history traits apart from mating behavior must be reconsidered as predisposing factors for evolution of cooperative breeding [ 6].

If so, this should be described and incorporated into our understanding of the evolution of breeding organization and male mating tactics.

In addition to such ultimate causes favoring the evolution of breeding at a particular time, we must consider environmental changes that are proximate causes of the triggering of breeding behavior.
