Sentence examples for observed fitness from inspiring English sources
When we observed fitness differences in our test organisms, we presented several possible explanations for their appearance, including whether they were caused by potential nutritional differences.
The failure also inspires attempts to understand the basis of the discrepancy between predicted and observed fitness.
In situations like these, the adaptive landscapes of level 5 are needed as a separate level (observed fitness correlates in the space of predicted fitness correlates; see above).
PL measures the proportional reduction in fitness of the average individual in a isolate given the thermal preference distribution of that isolate relative to the maximum observed fitness.
Second, we were also able to recover the observed fitness of the ancestral trioecious population, estimated from the competition assays, when explicitly simulating it with the sudden ML estimate of outcross-fitness (see Additional file 1: Figures S7).
The purpose of this level is to test the Linear Fitness Correlate Hypothesis (LFCH) and to make heuristic quantitative adjustments, if computed and observed fitness correlate differences do not match.
Third, until recently, it was technically very difficult to locate the molecular basis of new mutations in genomes, and many empirical studies inferred the occurrence of new mutations through their phenotypic effects instead of exhibiting the actual molecular variants underlying observed fitness-associated changes.
The exchange had only a small effect on fitness and only slight compensatory evolution was observed (fitnesses were 28.9, 27.5, and 28.2 before the exchange, immediately after the exchange, and after the recovery, respectively).
In contrast, direct observations, such as those obtained using the System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time (SOFIT), have the advantage of evaluating contextual information, including physical activity patterns and types, with the disadvantage of potentially misclassifying sedentary, light, and moderate intensity physical activities [ 18].
SOFIT = System for Observing Fitness Instruction time.
We adapted the refactored phage for rapid growth in two conditions, observing fitness and sequence evolution.
