Our results are generally compatible with the selection hypothesis, that migration may select individuals with differing fertility profiles.
Thus, recruiting in farther away locations may select individuals with a greater frustration tolerance for travel to the study centre, perhaps due to a greater interest in participating in health-oriented studies and thus different health-related behaviour.
Furthermore, community-led selection may also help select individuals whose demographic profile (i.e. age, gender, marriage status and education) will most likely lead to longevity in that community and on the job (Bhattacharyya et al. 2001).
Taken together, in a general population opportunistic screening situation, these findings may help to select individuals for an FH DNA test using the TC measurement.
In a predator-prey interaction, for example, the emergence of faster prey may select against individuals in the predatory species who are unable to keep pace.
Patchy food resources may select for individuals to aggregate close to food resources and cooperate because of the costs involved with dispersal and burrowing.
Because examination of CRP and leptin levels was by choice, this may select for individuals concerned about weight and/or metabolic problems.
In the future, diagnostic tests may be used to select individuals who are likely to benefit from treatment or those who demonstrate an objective indication of treatment efficacy.
There are three primary genetic considerations when choosing animals for a reintroduction, which may not always be synergistic: To select individuals with low levels of inbreeding and high combined genetic diversity.
Thus, even though we may have selected individuals that did not provide the most accurate representation of ecological fitness under metal stress, the molecular endpoints will be more closely related to specific copper-induced mechanisms.
In particular, given an overall 30% vaccine coverage, adolescent girls who did receive the vaccine may be selected individuals and could be at differential risk of certain outcomes or be more or less likely to consult healthcare for health problems.
