Sentence examples for limit fitness from inspiring English sources

But a focus on the nonflaky can limit fitness professionals' time for the sportier parts of their jobs.

We see the potential for conflict in genetic management recommendations leading to three key decision making steps in captive breeding programs to limit fitness losses.

Over multiple generations, a history of ongoing pathogen exposure theoretically should select for more resistant immunogenotypes that limit fitness impacts by responding effectively upon initial exposure (innate immunity) or re-exposure (adaptive immunity).

Studies of plant-pathogen and animal-pathogen interactions show that resistance (ability to limit pathogen burden) and tolerance (ability to limit fitness loss at a given pathogen load) can have distinct genetic bases, and that genetic variation exists for both [ 77, 78].

Thus, the inhibition of Spiroplasma proliferation in flies that are maintained under nutrient-limiting conditions could explain why Spiroplasma has limited fitness costs under these conditions.

Past success in purging genetic load through inbreeding has helped to demonstrate the role that genetic load can play in limiting fitness and sexual reproduction.

For instance, the most dosage-sensitive genes are those involved in macromolecular complexes, transcription regulation, and signal transduction pathways, whereas over- or under-expression of "other classes" of genes may have limited fitness effects (Birchler 2012).

In the MSRO- Spiroplasma system, this decline in proliferation does not appear to limit Spiroplasma-induced mortality, however, other Drosophila Spiroplasma strains appear to reach maximal titers at earlier time points and therefore this is an aspect of the endosymbiont's biology could play a more important role in limiting fitness costs in other systems.

Under LMC, unmated females that produce several sons will have limited fitness because they are unable to produce the favoured female-biased sex ratio (e.g. Hardy and Godfray 1990; Godfray and Hardy 1993; and reviewed in: Hardy et al. 1998).

The elite strategy was found to be superior to a Boltzmann random selection strategy (unpublished results) with faster convergence to similar limiting fitnesses.

Such applications could be employed to cure genetic disease in humans or to limit the fitness of disease-carrying organisms but the intricacies of genetic interaction mean those uses could also have unintended consequences, perhaps triggering other diseases.
