Biologically, SD could result from selection among gametes and/or zygotes, when an allele at a locus diminishes gametic or zygotic fitness, linked loci will deviate from the expected Mendelian segregation ratio (Alheit et al. [2011]).
Thus, it is possible that the observed GSL to fitness links are resulting from a complex web of biotic and abiotic effects.
For each mutation and for each of the P = 100 fitness linked phenotype (i = 1, 2,..., 100), the deviation between the mutant and wild type output N(g(i)) was recorded.
The likelihood that ecological and evolutionary factors will interact to produce unexpected results is high because fitness links these dynamics across the same temporal and spatial scales and because dispersal simultaneously changes gene flow and species colonization rates.
Andy with his ball-carrying and tackle count and Chris with his speed, fitness and link play.
The changes in organismal fitness were linked directly to incremental increases in enzyme stability and activity maxima and corresponded to the narrow temperature ranges where each mutant enjoyed success within the overall population.
Many past studies have found that relatively low aerobic fitness is linked with a significantly increased risk for heart disease and premature death and that being out of shape may, in fact, represent a greater risk for developing heart disease than if you have a poor cholesterol profile, Type 2 diabetes, a history of smoking or a high body mass index.
She blogs about the mounting evidence that fitness is linked to career success and transformational leadership.
Others have reported that WSSV replicative fitness is linked to genome size [8], [19].
Hence, the fitness advantage linked to the maternal PUFA-supply lies primarily on the side of the host.
