Sentence examples for pressures on size from inspiring English sources

Strong directional pressures on size due to selective harvesting have been shown to directly drive an evolutionary decrease in body size in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis).

However, the effect of inlet pressure on size parameter was found higher than the stand-off distance.

Operating net fisheries are often seen as size selective and their potential to introduce directional selection pressure on size at maturity or growth rate is attested (Conover and Munch 2002; Ernande et al. 2004; Swain et al. 2007) and now widely accepted.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the rotor speed, the amount of water sprayed and the atomizing air pressure on the size, size distribution and shape of the pellets produced in a fluid bed rotor granulator, using microcrystalline cellulose and α-lactose monohydrate as starting materials.

The inability to make simple, clear predictions about body size changes in response to climate change further emphasizes that the adaptive nature of a size change cannot be inferred from patterns only (conformity or not to Bergmann's rule), and that estimating selection pressures acting on size is key to understand these trends.

Through field sampling and simulation modeling of a natural population we determine that the simple mechanical model, which ignores most of the other hypothetical counter-balancing selection pressures on body size, is sufficient to account for size-assortative mating pattern as well as species-specific sexual dimorphism in body size of G. gracilicornis.

The effect of various arc currents and pressures on the size and phase purity of the Cu Zn alloy was studied.

The authors attribute this to selection pressures on internode size in stoloniferous species growing in severely disturbed habitats.

This indicates that there may be contrasting selection pressures on internode size in stoloniferous species growing in severely disturbed habitats.

These unexpected results indicate that there may be contrasting selection pressures on internode size in stoloniferous species growing in severely disturbed habitats.

The metamorphic polymerase domain reduces the need for additional coding sequences in the HIV gene, consistent with evolutionary pressures on the size of the RNA viral genome (Belshaw et al., 2007), while requiring a more complex structural maturation process.
