Especially, Galton posited that the ever-present individual variation that Darwin relied on could not be the source for evolution, because under blending inheritance which is due to sex the individual makeup could not persist; and thus a special, sudden mutation was needed, whose character would not be lost in the passage from one generation to the next [ 246, 247].
This avoided use of the ever-present individual variation that Darwin relied on, on account that selection on it could not have a strong heritable effect, and instead relied on rare, big changes a concept that was later mirrored in Goldschmidt's "hopeful monsters" [ 262] and that was ultimately rejected.
Thus, in the present model, individual variation in spectral sensitivity was assumed to be controlled by absorption spectra of three opsin genes (short, medium and long wave sensitive opsin genes, SWS, MWS and LWS) and the relative amount of expression of these genes.
In the present study, large individual variations were found for some patients (differing by up to 93% from the first treatment cycle), indicating and in some patients demonstrating a trend of increased, or decreased, kidney uptake and retention with number of treatment cycles (Figure 3).
Table 2 presents the stability of individual variations in attention disengagement (the probabilities of fixation responses) from 12 to 36 months.
In the present study, this individual variation allowed the investigation of the relationship between clinical outcome and skin test size at the level of the individual animal.
The present study also identified effects of individual variations in trait anxiety and WM performance on brain activity in response to anxiety-inducing distraction.
T cells are frequently present in the muscle tissue in all subsets of myositis but with large individual variations.
Large individual variations were seen in the occupants' assessment of glare in the present study.
Of course, there are individual variations.
It's not clear what accounts for individual variations.
