Sentence examples for high selection intensity from inspiring English sources
It is shown that in this situation where a control line may seem superfluous, inclusion of a control line can result in minor gains in efficiency if a high selection intensity is practiced in the selected line.
This high gain for the yield with low predictability is mainly due to the high selection intensity of the crosses, represented by the considerably small proportion selected.
Given the low expected frequency of hyposensitive trees, substantial progress will depend on precise selection made by effectively screening and testing of a large number (thousands) of trees, because high selection intensity will otherwise result is an unacceptable low number of selected trees left to form the basis for future restoration programs.
The generalist maternal rabbit line named line LP was established between 2002 and 2003 by applying a very high selection intensity (i.e. two to five females in one thousand were selected) to obtain females with a long reproductive lifespan (i.e. at least 25 parturitions averaging a minimum of 7.5 kits born alive per parturition).
Short-term success is maximized by a high selection intensity choosing only the very best performing parental lines.
In large populations (10,000 candidates), excluding full sib matings was not worthwhile at all whereas in small populations with high selection intensity, it was a first useful way to manage genetic variability.
Evolutionary adaptation can be extremely fast, especially in response to high selection intensities.
It is clear that sufficiently high selection intensities can yield measurable selection responses in few generations in fishes.
Current pig breeding schemes are, however, already characterized by high selection intensities and very short generation intervals.
It is possible that the observed result was caused by a sampling effect generated by using the higher selection intensity chosen (∼0.5% selected in each tail out of 10,000 plants).
As a result, manipulating the lactation curve for improved persistency requires higher selection intensity than unrestricted selection based on 305-d estimated breeding value (EBV).
