Sentence examples for steep fitness from inspiring English sources

The steep fitness costs of these behaviors, Hagen says, would not be offset by "more uninterrupted time to think".

Aigner (2001, 2006) explored the effect of fitness trade-offs in the evolution of phenotypic specialization, pointing out that, in the absence of steep fitness trade-offs, phenotypic specialization can evolve without restricting the number of pollinator types (ecological generalization is maintained; see the discussion in the next section).

First, similar to many separate sex species and in accordance with Bateman's Principle [ 14], the male function is thought to show a steeper fitness gain with increasing mating success than the female function ([ 15, 16] but see [ 17]).

If so, they would be upregulated in males during loss from the neo-Y because they are dose sensitive, that is, we would predict that they are contained in short pathways affecting traits with steeper fitness functions.

The simulations show that both in the case of flat and steep static fitness landscapes, competition and assortativity do exert a synergistic effect on speciation.

The simulations show that both in the case of flat and steep static fitness landscapes, recombination provides a high velocity of movement in the phenotypic space thus allowing recombinants to colonize the highest fitness regions earlier than non-recombinants that are often driven to extinction.

Another source of the evolutionary stability of a trait is frequency-dependent selection, particularly the steep dependence of fitness on the frequency of a particular allele.

This procedure ensures a steep decrease in fitness for any deviations from gene expression states s ∞ n e w or s ∞ n a t i v e.

Another source of the evolutionary stability of a trait is frequency-dependent selection, particularly the steep dependence of fitness on the frequency of an allele.

The steep decline in fitness of BC1 families with a higher amount of crop genome indicates there might be a strong selection against and hence, a rapid elimination of crop genome in the first hybrid generations.

On the one hand, very strong selection (i.e., in a steep and narrow fitness landscape; small V s ) induces a high standing load, which reduces the realized growth rate and diminishes the ability of the population to tolerate environmental change.
