Sentence examples for replicated selection from inspiring English sources

We reared individuals in each generation in identical environmental (Supporting Information S1) and density conditions in three replicated selection treatments similar to Conover and Munch's (2002) landmark study.

This is, in part, owing to the fact that selection studies are rarely replicated either temporally or spatially [ 41] and when studies are replicated, selection estimates tend to be highly variable among replicates [ 68].

If consistent shifts are seen in replicated selection environments, changes in gene frequency are likely due to evolution via natural selection rather than genetic drift.

We then compared the replicated selection lines to lines that evolved in an artificial outside-host environment (to control for the effect of growth medium that was used for oral infection), and to the ancestral bacteria.

Finally, phenotypic selection was also carried out as a control, and we replicated the selection strategies by considering the true QTL as markers and the simulated effects of the additive and dominance effects of the QTL as known.

Because we used control lineages and replicated each selection treatment three times, random effects are an unlikely cause.

Thirteen infection cycles were performed for each of 11 replicate selection lines in each treatment.

We have generated replicate selection lines of house mice evolving with and without sperm competition.

Hurd et al. [ 13] created three replicate selection experiments, referred to as the black, red and green groups.

Each replicate selection line provides one estimate of the realized heritability, allowing a mean and standard error to be directly estimated for each selection treatment.

We formed two replicate populations by a random division of flies in the IV population, then founded three treatments in each replicate: selection up, selection down, and a control.
