Sentence examples for may maintain high from inspiring English sources

Sperm competition may maintain high mutation rates for two different reasons.

Tropical tree PIP genes may generally undergo balancing selection, which may maintain high levels of genetic diversity at these loci.

It is also possible to imagine source-sink dynamics [ 60] where a few high quality patches may maintain high, stable levels of spore production.

In vivo, breast tumours may maintain high local levels of oestrogen independent on the overall circulating concentration suggesting that added exogenous oestrogen has very little effect on the local tumour environment (Blankenstein et al, 1992).

Thus, while the natural prevalence of V. culicis (like of most microsporidians of mosquitoes) is low (6.6% of the larvae in a West African population of A. gambiae (Andreadis 2007)), a combination of continually distributing the spores to larval sites, infecting the adults through sugar baits (Gu et al. 2011) and auto-dispersal during oviposition, may maintain high prevalence.

Because invasive species have very rapid growth rates, they may maintain higher diversity than one would expect based on their likely invasion histories alone (Dlugosch and Parker 2008) because a population with a rapid growth rate is likely to retain allelic diversity, even after experiencing a bottleneck (Nei et al. 1975).

Biochemical results showed that although 4-HNE treatment may decrease p70S6K and 4EBP1 phosphorylations, Pim-2 overexpression may constitutively maintain high phosphorylations of p70S6K and 4EBP1 under both basal and 4-HNE conditions and 3(b)).
