Sentence examples for evolutionary stress from inspiring English sources

Evolutionary stress can drive selection for increased mutation rates: mutator bacterial strains are more antibiotic resistant than non-mutator strains, and thus have a clear selective advantage, potentially leading to an increase in the overall mutation rate within a population [13].

Therefore, one may assume that some bacteria-specific evolutionary stress might be responsible for the deletion of this primordial domain.

It is assumed that evolutionary stress for a copy is largely reduced thus facilitating the evolution of a paralogue with a novel function.

Antibiotic resistance evolves naturally via natural selection through random mutation, but it could also be engineered by applying an evolutionary stress on a population.

Realizing that the onset of adaptation relies mostly on the presence of beneficial variants already present in the stressed population and not on the production of new variants by mutation (Orr and Unckless 2008; Teotónio et al. 2009) implies that the evolutionary stress response is positively related to the amount of standing genetic variation (Lynch and Lande 1993; Blows and Hoffmann 2005).

This may result from different evolutionary stresses between mammalian and other eukaryotes and therefore the preference of alternative splicing and gene duplication in the genome are different.

Moreover, the fact that the TF original projections are consistently different from their randomized versions indicates, to our consideration, that the development of the TF connection patterns has been subject to strong evolutionary stresses, contrarily to those of the regulated genes.

Also, evolutionary psychologists stress that the mechanisms they focus on are universally distributed in humans and are not susceptible to much, if any, variation.

Writers in this vein speak the languages of neuroscience and evolutionary psychology; stress the impact on human behaviour of emotions, heuristics, and norms; and maintain an especially close dialogue with experimentalists.

Included are studies of physiological ecology, evolutionary physiology, stress physiology, functional morphology and movement, animal sensation, computational and systems neuroscience, and environmental genomics".

Jablonka's and Lamb's evolutionary views stress the role of "soft inheritance," or the inheritance of acquired characters, which is exhibited by many of the non-genetic inheritance systems.
