Sentence examples for primary selective advantage from inspiring English sources

It has been postulated that the primary selective advantage of the broadly occurring high-frequency sensitivity in mammalia is that it enables the use of binaural spectral-difference cues to localize sound [5], [30].

My second comment relates to the primary selective advantage attributed to the acquisition of PAL from bacteria, which might have been the production of antimicrobial or pigmented metabolites that would allow the successful competition of land plants/fungi in soils or protection against UV light.

Using ecological principles from migratory animal populations, modeling studies have shown how migratory ability, by increasing the ability of a cancer clone to sample different environments with variable resources in the primary tumor, can provide a selective advantage within the primary tumor by allowing the cancer cell clone to experience more favorable environments (Chen et al. 2011).
