In principle, male-skewed sex ratios could explain this effect, as they will reduce the effective population size of the X chromosome relative to autosomes, and thus reduce the expected level of segregating neutral polymorphism (Caballero 1995; Charlesworth 2001).
The authors identify different possibilities to explain this effect.
Here we describe a simple example to explain this effect.
More importantly, we explain this effect from the perspective of SDT.
We further explain this effect with results in Table 3 and interpret them as follows.
We have developed a dislocation-based model to help explain this effect.
However, there is no consensus on the mechanisms proposed in the literature to explain this effect.
In section "Challenges regarding the estimation of reduction potentials and costs" we explain this effect in more detail.
To explain this effect, two parameters are considered: the sample thickness and the value of applied electric field.
The mechanisms to explain this effect include rheological changes in the hyperkinetic blood flow in the lower limbs.
A handful of labs have recently been racing to find factors in young blood that may explain this effect.
