Sentence examples for shift in thermal from inspiring English sources

This shift in thermal activation corresponds well with the reduction in core body temperature (and, by extension, the skin temperature at the nociceptor terminal) that would be expected in this poikilothermic species.

There are very few reported examples that have demonstrated a genetic shift in thermal optima or thermal tolerance [ 43].

McLean et al. (2005) found evidence for both a shift in thermal performance measured as colony growth and counter-gradient variation in four fungal species.

A recently published study of another fungal leaf pathogen, Mycosphaerella graminicola, found thermal adaptation consistent with a shift in thermal performance for growth corresponding to the local temperature regime (Zhan and McDonald 2011).

Previous work also showed that D. subobscura flies carrying O chromosomes derived from replicated thermal lines [ 49, 50] that had evolved in the laboratory at warm temperatures (22°C) had a higher total net fitness than its cold-adapted (13°C) counterparts; that is, a significant shift in thermal optima was observed [ 51].

Ontogenetic shifts in microhabitat use are widespread among taxa and can result in drastic shifts in thermal habitat among age classes.

Our goal is to use these libraries to construct cDNA microarrays for use in profiling transcriptome changes that accompany habitat temperature shifts in the natural environment [18], as well as to develop mechanistic understanding of cellular events that occur during shifts in thermal physiology under laboratory conditions.

Moreover, evolutionary shifts in thermal preferences should drive compensatory shifts in the thermal sensitivity of fitness and vice versa [ 18, 21].

Interestingly, AMP consistently induced the largest shifts in thermal stability of M2-1, specificityspeciforithefor the adenine moiety.

As a point of calibration for the significance of such relatively small shifts in thermal stability, Δ Tm values of ≥2 °C can generally be regarded as significant, although there can be occasional exceptions to this empirically derived threshold.

One possible cause for the observed transition in aggregation behavior between low and intermediate salt concentrations could be a salt-induced transition in the structure of the lysozyme monomers or a salt-induced shift in the thermal stability of the monomers.
