Sentence examples for the evolution of variability from inspiring English sources

While the implications of modularity for the evolution of variability have been much discussed the evolutionary origins remain obscure.

The evolution of variability in the centre temperature of discrete solid products during a batch thermal process is investigated.

Thus, sexual selection may be driving the evolution of genetic variability, presumably through an increased mutation rate.

We have added a short section in the Results investigating the evolution of phenotypic variability during development (including a new Figure, Figure. 9), and addressed this question in the Discussion.

This finding suggests that sexual selection initially may be related to good genes effects, and that sexual selection subsequently may be driving the evolution of genetic variability through an increase in germline mutation rate, rather than vice versa.

For example, recently, there has been accumulating evidence that new lineage-specific genes can play a role in the development and evolution of morphological structures [ 19 21], meaning that both the co-option of old genes together with the emergence of new genes and regulatory modules might underlie the evolution of phenotypic variability.

The evolution of additive genetic variability was studied at two different levels of heritability (0.1; 0.5), two different population sizes (1000 or 5000 animals), 30 generations of selection and different combinations of number of sires/number of dams.

The balance involved in this trade-off impedes the evolution of high phenotypic variability.

Some demographic parameters, the genetic structure and the evolution of the genetic variability of six French meat sheep breeds were analysed in relation with their management.

Understanding the processes that drive the evolution of snake venom variability is a topic of intense research interest in molecular and evolutionary toxinology.

The significant fitness consequences of flowering time variation, demonstrated in annual [ 5, 6] and perennial plants [ 7], have most likely contributed to the evolution of the extensive variability in flowering time control.
