Sentence examples for persistent selection from inspiring English sources

Our analyses represent the first geochemical source identifications of obsidian artifacts from the Eburran industry and indicate the persistent selection over time for high-quality obsidian from Mt. Eburru, ~20 km distant, despite changes in site occupation intensity that apparently correlate with changes in the local environment.

The persistent selection of the last-updated item in WM shows that the selection mechanisms for visual stimuli and for items in WM operate independently.

They are also more susceptible to substance abuse (2), potentially reflecting altered sensitivity of reward mechanisms and persistent selection of options with short-term benefits despite negative long-term consequences.

However, as selection coefficients can vary by year, it would take persistent selection for crop alleles to see this affect something a single year of study cannot completely elucidate.

Since the lineage starts with small shells, the observed trend toward a larger shell size conforms to the traditional gradualist and adaptive interpretation that large-scale evolutionary trends result from persistent selection within long-ranging lineages.

Indeed, the evolutionary importance of β-catenin is reflected by phylogenetic analyses, which suggest a widespread and persistent stabilizing selection on each of the Armadillo (Arm) repeat sequences from Cnidarian to mouse β-catenin [3], and virtually no change in β-catenin over the ∼400 million year course of vertebrate evolution [3].

However, in the L. rigidum population analysed here, the persistent herbicide selection to produce resistant progeny likely prevented random loss of resistance alleles and resulted in high-level phenotypic resistance to diclofop-methyl (Neve and Powles 2005).
