Sentence examples for model species we from inspiring English sources

As a model species, we selected Adinandra griffithii an endangered endemic tree of the region (World Conservation Monitoring Centre 1998; Nayar and Sastry 1987; Haridasan and Rao 1985).

Using the freeze-tolerant earthworm Dendrobaena octaedra as model species, we exposed worms to freezing and exposure to sublethal copper in a factorial design and investigated the transcription of candidate genes for metal and cold stress.

Using the stone marten (Martes foina, Erxleben, 1777) as a model species, we developed an individual-based, spatially explicit simulation model to develop predictions concerning the relative performance of fencing and passage construction under different rates of road mortality.

Using humans as a particularly tractable model species, we conducted treadmill experiments to test the validity of tri-axial accelerometry loggers, designed for use with animals in the field, to estimate rate of oxygen consumption (˙VO2: an indirect measure of metabolic rate) and speed during locomotion.

With sheep as a model species, we identified how the behaviors of conspecifics affect the individual decisions to switch activity.

As a model species we chose the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus Ball (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), a major pest of grapevine, that transmits the phytoplasma responsible of the grapevine yellow disease "Flavescence dorée" in Europe [28].

Using an exhaustive computational screen including non-model species, we show that a single akirin proto-orthologue is highly conserved across invertebrate metazoans in terms of genomic organisation and coding features and identify orthologues in several more basal eukaryotes.

In the northwest, a slightly higher level of diversity was observed using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) typing, while sequencing revealed variation in Class I allelic numbers in different individuals [ 19], but due to the inherent difficulties in studying the MHC in non-model species, we were not able to rule out null alleles or experimental artefacts.

Since our focus in this study was upon the utility of de novo RNA-Seq for quantifying whole gene expression in non-model species, we assessed the accuracy and efficiency of drawing together sequencing reads that are from the same gene to calculate an expression value for that gene.

As most AFLP studies are used on non-model species, we finally asked to what extent knowledge of the profiles obtained in silico for model species can help to predict the quality of the profiles obtained empirically on non-model related species.

Using gDNA from five model angiosperm species, we apply a similar approach to identify whether MBD2 can fractionate plant gDNA into methyl-CpG-depleted vs. enriched methyl-CpG elements.
