Sentence examples for population provenance from inspiring English sources

This study presents the first effort to generate a population genomic dataset for wild-born orangutans with known population provenance.

Indeed, common-garden and reciprocal transplant studies are generally performed in a temporal/spatial context of invasion (population provenance) and frequently consider fitness traits (plant development and reproduction) and environmental conditions (e.g. watering treatments, herbivory, etc).

By contrast, genomic studies often rely on zoo animals with unknown population provenance (if wild-born) or apply a limited sampling schema (e.g. [ 48]), and thus there are likely inherent sampling biases.

We generated SNP datasets for 31 wild-born orangutans from two populations representing the first effort of large-scale SNP discovery and genotyping of orangutans with known population provenance.

They included 550 open-pollinated families from 120 different populations (provenances).

Within each regional population, a number of sub-regional populations (Table 7) and local populations (provenances) are also identified, e.g. through international and local provenance testing programmes.

A 'large control population' was also assembled with 71 trees belonging to 34 of the 38 natural populations (provenances) from which the first set of 71 trees was assembled (Table 1), but collected in open-pollinated families that had not been subjected to any selection (null selection intensity and genetic gain).

Strengths of this study include its population-based provenance, the longitudinal design and the integration of clinical data with validated HMD.

Loss of local adaptation (Box 1) has long been considered a risk to the success of translocations, and the focus has been on using local source populations (or provenances) when making decisions about which germplasm to source for restoration and reintroduction programmes (Callaham 1964; Keller et al. 2000; McKay et al. 2005; O'Brien et al. 2007).

The fitness of a given population in its provenance is assessed by comparing its actual performance with the phenotypic optimum for its provenance climate as predicted by the transfer model, as illustrated in Fig. 3A.

We show that the form of these relationships is robust across models that assume very different patterns of variance covariance among oak provenances, from identity models assuming total independence to models that estimate covariance based on population genetic and provenance origin data.
