Sentence examples for modest population size from inspiring English sources

For a modest population size (150) this generally took less than 200 generations.

This was accomplished using a modest population size of BC1S3 plants (n = 286) and the interval could be narrowed down further through genotyping at a higher number of loci and increasing the population size [ 56].

While we recognized our power was limited because of only modest population sizes (Table 1), we believed, based on the moderate to high H, the trait data from individual cycles was of high-enough quality to detect marker-trait associations.

This is particularly true, given the modest population sizes of spawning adults (only the Chilliwack River typically has a relatively stable population size of more than 2000 wild adults) and the downward trends in estimated wild spawner abundance over much of the time period included in our study, especially for the Capilano and Seymour rivers (Ahrens 2004).

Conversely, drift is strong in species with small population sizes and modest variation in population size may be an important determinant of variation in TE abundance.

These are not small population sizes.

It is worth noting that our modest mapping population size of 87 F1 offspring likely often prevented the ordering algorithm from finding the correct order for SNPs that were closer than ∼2 5 cM.

Even fairly modest increases in population size can create artifactual evidence of adaptive evolution [ 33].

In organisms with very large population sizes, drift is weak and modest variation in population size may play little role in determining variation in TE abundance.

Thus, while adaptive amino-acid evolution is common in the genus Drosophila, modest changes in population size appear to have little influence on protein adaptation.

Thus, modest variation in population size among species across the genus Drosophila may not be an important factor contributing to variation in TE abundance.
