Sentence examples for expected trait from inspiring English sources

That is, the breeding value (i.e. expected trait value based solely on the genes for that trait) of a male ornament needs to be positively correlated with his breeding value for lifetime fitness, irrespective of the envisioned model determining fitness.

We expected trait differences between cultivars and wild populations.

They considered a model in which the expected trait value of an individual was increased by the presence of a minor allele at any causal variant in the gene.

We expected trait evolution to occur more rapidly in hybrid lineages than in wild ones because segregating hybrid populations contain more genetic diversity and may even generate extreme phenotypes relative to the parental taxa.

Negative MDI values indicate lower than expected trait relative disparity under Brownian motion (i.e., low average subclade relative disparity), which in turn indicates that most disparity occurs among subclades, and therefore, that they occupy smaller and more isolated areas of the morphospace [ 12].

In this approach, an observed score on instrument A is associated with an expected trait level and from this expectation an expected observed score on instrument B is estimated.

As expected, traits having phenotypic correlations mostly shared pleiotropic regions.

― Cwene D. "Being a highly sensitive man can sometimes cause added pressure on the relationship, as some of the personality traits that come with being a highly sensitive person do not lend themselves to some of the expected traits of masculinity.

Individuals displaying extreme scores on trait measures typically display scores that are more comparable to clinical groups, thus indicating whether or not we would expect trait findings to extend to clinical groups.

Alongside female remating we should expect traits to evolve that permit female discrimination of sperm-limited or sperm-depleted males (Luck & Joly, 2005).

Thus, one might expect traits that have been subject to consistent and strong directional selection (e.g., life history traits) to have lower heritabilities than traits subject to weaker or less consistent selection (e.g., morphological traits).
