Sentence examples for improves colony from inspiring English sources

Polyandry increases genetic diversity within a colony and thereby improves colony fitness and survival.

This improves colony performance.

We found that MCR improves colony growth of mgr1 mutants after mitochondrial DNA loss, although not quite as efficiently as alkaline-buffered medium (KPi, pH 7.6).

Interestingly, recent data have suggested that female offspring in the related species of Xyleborinus saxesenii sometimes remain in the natal gallery and appear to help raise further brood (i.e. their presence improves colony productivity: [ 34, 35, 37]).

These simulation results are intended to initiate an ongoing and adaptive monitoring program for improving colony productivity at the site.

Improved colony homeostasis could even be one of the reasons why insect sociality evolved.

First, it improved colony growth while maintaining the nymph/worker caste ratio, probably through effective division of labor and resistance to diseases.

An alternative hypothesis is that asocial individuals provide services for colonies by functioning as a behaviorally specialized caste (e.g., improving colony defense, prey capture) (Pruitt and Riechert 2010).

Improved colony performance and increased disease resistance due to high intra-colony genetic diversity are the two major explanations for the presence of multiple mating in several species of eusocial insects (Brown and Schmid-Hempel 2003).

Particularly, distinct black colonies with sharp edges are easily recognized by computer software, which facilitates improved automated colony picking.

Thus, the mutant colonies appearing under selection may reflect preexisting small-effect mutants that adapted and improved during colony growth.
