Sentence examples for heritable evolution from inspiring English sources

Typically, we associate it with either plasticity (nonheritable) or genetic (heritable) evolution.

When these differences in capacities are heritable, then evolution will (usually) ensue.

In the case of selection for increased opportunity, those genotypes that possess more plasticity, sensu a steeper slope of the reaction norm with increasing inorganic carbon availability, will profit more, and when the shape of the reaction norm is heritable, adaptive evolution will take place, here in the form of lineage sorting of preadapted genotypes (Schaum et al. 2013; Fig. 1B).

The affected traits must also be heritable for adaptive evolution to occur.

To the degree that immunocompetence and F0 remained heritable over human evolution, women's judgments of male vocal attractiveness may have evolved to recruit these qualities for their offspring.

The processes governing the maintenance and evolution of heritable polymorphisms are of great interest.

While genomic erosion is common among intracellular symbionts, patterns of genome evolution in heritable extracellular endosymbionts remain elusive.

Our results demonstrate the rapid de novo evolution of heritable variation in antibiotic sensitivity and resistance during E. coli biofilm development.

However, even if 'rate of evolution' is heritable, nodes separated by long periods of time may accumulate sufficient rate variation that autocorrelation in this trait will break down.
