Sentence examples for to colouration from inspiring English sources

An additional and, as far as we know, unexplored association between colour polymorphism and individual attributes can arise when the characteristics of these attributes depend on the biochemical basis of colour production, and not on pleiotropic effects of the genes related to colouration [e.g. 10], [14].

Both types of nanoparticles contribute to colouration of the silicone glues.

The degradation of silicone glues used, for example, in the assembly of solar modules for use in space, has been investigated and possible mechanisms which lead to colouration and possible embrittlement are analysed.

These between-female differences could, for example, be related to colouration or behaviour (especially responsiveness), and provide an interesting avenue for future research.

Other studies use association mapping to identify genomic regions involved in phenotypic differences, or perform candidate gene associations, e.g. MC1R in relation to colouration differences (Nachman et al., 2003; Theron et al., 2001).

Therefore, it is evident that it is important to do careful fieldwork and to consider the variation of macroscopical and ecological features before they are used for taxonomic purposes, especially characters related to colouration.

In this environment, given the duration of each nymphal stage (about one week, albeit likely to be substantially longer in the field) nymphae may need to adjust colouration even within nymphal stages to be able to cope with climatic variability.

The inner surface was washed slowly with normal saline and was examined for the severity of ulceration according to the following scale: 0=normal grey coloured stomach, 0.5=pink to red colouration of stomach, 1=spot ulcer, 1.5=haemorrhagic ulcer, 2=ulcer<5, 3=ulcer>5, 4=ulcers with bleeding.

However, the analysis of digital photos has proved to be a useful tool to study colouration in animals in general (Bergman and Beehner 2008) and also for the study of carotenoid based colouration in birds (e.g. Fitze et al. 2003; Perez-Rodriguez 2008; Mougeot et al. 2009).

The dependence of blueness on temperature (Hettyey et al. 2009c), which should be linked to a general level of activity in ectotherms and the ability to change colouration, suggests that male blueness could be adjusted to the intensity of intrasexual competition.

Infuscans females have brownish to greenish colouration and differ from males in colour, although they have male-like melanin-patterning (Fig 1b).
