Sentence examples for les traits from inspiring English sources

To test whether similar patterns exist in other tropical lowland forests, we searched the literature for datasets from other moist tropical forest sites for which comparable data on LES traits as well as quantitative measures of juvenile shade tolerance have been published.

We found close inter-specific correlations between leaf economic traits, suggesting that there are strong genetic constraints limiting the independent evolution of LES traits.

The Brownian motion-type evolution means that LES traits present similar tempo of evolution during the long-term natural selection (Garland et al. 1992; Revell et al. 2008).

However, a thicker leaf with higher LMA and CC could be necessary for deciduous species to withstand physical stresses of climate and herbivory at high elevation (Coley et al. 1985; Matsuki and Koike 2006), resulting in the decoupling of LLS and the other LES traits.

The strong and consistent cross-species correlations of LES traits require explicit consideration of evolutionary history, because for any phylogenetically linked taxa, phenotypic similarity may reflect convergent evolution or limited evolutionary distance from a shared common ancestor (e.g. an internal node in a phylogeny), or both (Felsenstein 1985; Harvey and Pagel 1991).

Because PDG explicitly accounts for climate effects on the water and carbon exchanges of individual trees as a selective pressure, it provides a useful complement to existing evolutionary models of tree population life history traits (Le Corre and Kremer 2003; Kuparinen et al. 2010).

Here we identify regions highlighted in multiple investigations of the genetic basis of smoltification-related traits (Le Bras et al. 2011; Nichols et al. 2008) and other adaptive life-history tactics (Miller et al. 2012; Nichols et al. 2007; O'Malley et al. 2003; Robison et al. 2001; Wringe et al. 2010) within O. mykiss.

Issac is a medical student living in Paris, Bale plays an visiting American journalist, while Le Bon's publicised character traits include "beauty" and "sophistication".

Fullwiley D. Contingences de la maladie: les politiques culturelles de la souffrance en regard du trait drépanocytaire AS au Senegal.

Three growth related traits were evaluated: body weight (We), length (Le) and Fulton's condition factor (FK). Fulton's condition factor, developed by Fulton [ 28], is a measure of a fish fatness and can be computed as 100 * We/Le, where We is the body weight of the fish in grams and Le is the length of the fish in centimeters.

Future extensions of the RF approach may include the search for interpopulation allelic covariance that some theoretical and empirical work suggests may be responsible for high population differentiation in adaptive traits found in many tree species (Latta 1998; Le Corre and Kremer 2003; Ma et al. 2010; Kremer and Le Corre 2011; Le Corre and Kremer 2012).
