Sentence examples for trait of selection from inspiring English sources

A change in the selection gradient intensity of a trait when causal selective pressure intensities are altered indicates a relationship between the agent (selective pressure) and target (trait) of selection.

The target trait of selection is flowering time.

Because of the uncertainties of the measurements of the maximum growth rate in batch of the two clones (for AB1100h and for AB2800b), the possibility remains that other traits of selection might have been involved.

Body size as a trait of natural selection has already been demonstrated in the speciation event of some stickleback species in which this difference is thought to be an adaptation to alternative foraging habitats [ 39].

(2013) found that for many phenotypic traits, signatures of selection were evident only when loci were considered at the level of functional sets (i.e. across all loci associated with a particular trait).

Psychologists are interested in the contribution of genes to human psychological traits whereas evolutionary biologists use heritability measures to predict and measure the response of a trait to selection.

An important use of the G-matrix is to predict the response of a set of traits to selection (Lande 1979).

This has been made possible by combining stringent phenotypic selection with a major focus on agronomic and quality traits for selection of the plants and MAS for gene(s) of interest (Gopalakrishnan et al. 2008).

Since animals were first selected on their PrP genotype before being selected on the performance trait, the intensity of selection on performance was weaker under PrP selection (compared with no PrP selection).

Higher levels of homozygosity and LD are expected in genomic regions that have undergone intensive selection for a particular trait (a signature of selection, as in, e.g., [ 1, 48]).

A correlated response is the genetic change that occurs in a trait as a consequence of selection on another trait(s).
