Sentence examples for minimum size threshold from inspiring English sources

Based on these results, we recommend that conservation planners use MinPatch whenever they want each PA in a network to meet a minimum size threshold.

Occupancy did not show a linear relationship with patch size but neither species was found in the smallest open patches (<3 ha), perhaps indicating a minimum size threshold, although further study is needed.

During the last decade a number of Large Marine Protected Areas (LMPAs) – marine protected areas that exceed a minimum size threshold and are often in offshore or open ocean waters – have been designated in an effort to meet marine conservation objectives.

Our aim was to assess whether a minimum size threshold would reduce overdiagnosis.

There is a final optional filtering step to remove calls below a minimum size threshold.

Second, we require that a break be flanked by anchoring syntenic blocks with a minimum size threshold.

One means of increasing the probability of surviving to older ages would be to establish maximum (and minimum) size thresholds above which fishing would be prevented (Conover and Munch 2002).

In all data sets, HRD score was elevated in HR-deficient samples, which stood in contrast to measures of whole chromosomal LOH and LOH of regions of less than 15 Mbp in length, suggesting that the maximum and minimum size thresholds employed were able to filter out aberrations because of numerical chromosomal instability and short non-HRD-related aberrations, respectively.

This is slightly lower than previously published high-resolution studies that estimate CNVs affect up to 40 Mb of genomic DNA [ 10, 25], and may be due to a combination of our higher minimum size thresholds (2.5 kb vs 500 bp used in other studies) and the strict specificity criteria we employed, which eliminated all singletons.

Thus, while the bush rat appears resilient to substantial population size perturbation, once a critical minimum population size threshold has been reached, this species may be susceptible to local extinction.

Consequently, even a small increase of the minimum sample size threshold implies the exclusion of many samples representing these two modes of subsistence, thereby removing the main interest of the analysis.
