Sentence examples for multiple selective pressures from inspiring English sources

The genetic variability analyses suggest that a high strain diversity is associated with multiple selective pressures in the study area, while phylogeographic traits suggest a high genetic similarity between Mexican and South American strains.

The adaptive significance of observed shifts is complicated by the existence of multiple selective pressures acting on multiple life stages.

This illustrates that the simple architecture encapsulated in the threshold model cannot cope optimally with multiple selective pressures.

Given the multiple selective pressures favoring synchronized molting over uncoordinated molting, it would follow that synchronized molting should be the rule among arthropods, but it is not.

The pattern of evidence for recent or recurrent positive selection that we observe and the diverse functions and expression patterns of these genes suggest that there are likely multiple selective pressures driving the adaptive evolution in genes important in GSC regulation.

A coupling of cannibalism prevention to reproduction would be plausible in these predatory species; if molting is coupled to reproduction, there should be multiple selective pressures at play to reduce predation on the new young and the molting parents simultaneously, one part of it being the reduction of cannibalism.

The SUMA Tat region was also was the only region studied that contained overlapping epitopes, recognized by 3 distinct early CD8+ T-lymphocyte responses focused in this region [4]; thus the more complex pattern of early escape in SUMA Tat might have been a consequence of multiple distinct selective pressures from distinct T-lymphocyte responses.

When natives are responding to a single new selective agent and exotics are responding to multiple, strong, new selective pressures, natives may have the upper hand in an escalating evolutionary trajectory (Connell 1980; Vermeij 1994).

Gene distribution in these genomes results from multiple (often conflicting) selective pressures, so we should not expect 1) that all the genes for a given set of genomes share an identical taxonomic distribution or 2) that they evolved along identical evolutionary histories (tree topologies) (fig. 1).

Examples of convergent evolution, the independent acquisition of the same trait in different populations or species, may be highly informative with regard to questions of evolutionary predictability and constraint because these likely represent multiple solutions to similar selective pressures (see, e.g., Conway Morris, 2003; Christin et al., 2010; Losos, 2011).

Results may be understood considering the interaction between the reproductive system, colonization history, genetic drift, selective pressures and multiple introductions.
