Sentence examples for the evolution of tolerance from inspiring English sources

However, this kind of variability is the basis for the evolution of tolerance and resistance evolution to disease.

Whether the evolution of tolerance of fungal competitors in saprophagous Drosophila larvae really exerts no selection pressure on the fungi remains to be investigated.

In response to environmental stressors such as road deicing salt, amphibians have traditionally been viewed as helpless players, and thus, the potential for local adaptation and the evolution of tolerance to the stressor has largely been ignored (Brady 2012).

Finally, if susceptibility to EDC exposure has a genetic basis, a skew in success toward less feminized individuals provides a mechanism for the evolution of tolerance to the feminizing effects of EDCs.

This interface represents a dynamic habitat where selection pressures may change quickly, creating a gradient of stress from lethal to survivable effects that contributes to adaptation and drives the evolution of tolerance and resistance traits.

On the one hand, a number of studies have demonstrated local adaptation and the evolution of tolerance to pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and soot (Macnair 1987; Taylor and Feyereisen 1996; Reznick and Ghalambor 2001; Ownby et al. 2002; Meyer and Di Giulio 2003; Williams and Oleksiak 2008).

Adaptation to cold is supposed to involve complex reorganizations of the genome and physiology [ 20], implying that the evolution of tolerances to temperate climates with highly seasonal conditions may pose particular problems [ 21, 22], especially for warm-adapted plant taxa confronted with cooling climate [ 19].

For instance, the evolution of salinity tolerance and cold tolerance in exotic copepods (Eurytemora affinis) in North America and Rhododendron in the British Isles, respectively, seems to be related to range expansion (Milne and Abbott 2000; Lee et al. 2003).

Next, we tested the potential role of GA in the evolution of pesticide tolerance by assessing whether patterns of tolerance were consistent with theoretical predictions.

For example, selection on standing genetic variance for osmotic tolerance appears to underlie the evolution of freshwater tolerance in the copepod E. affinis (Lee et al. 2007).

Additionally, patterns of inducible tolerance suggest that genetic assimilation may play a role in the evolution of constitutive tolerance in wild populations.
