Sentence examples for traits selection from inspiring English sources

In a continuous fitness landscape with a quadratic maximum, typical for quantitative traits, selection does restrict the extant species to have trait values close to optimal, but due to the continuous nature of the landscape, there are always many such species available, and so competition among them is effectively neutral.

This suggests that there could be variation in the size of networks underlying particular traits; selection for higher trait heritability should favor individuals whose networks are smaller.

Therefore, since body mass does not constrain as much the evolution of leg traits, selection can act on leg traits, such as stride frequency (leg diameter) and stride length (leg length).

With optimum traits, selection pressure shifts gradually from the mean to the variance when approaching the optimum.

Three key traits – selection for non-brittle rachis, six-rowed spike and naked caryopsis – were involved in barley domestication (Salamini et al., 2002).

For many traits, selection can act more strongly and more efficiently in larger populations, as has been demonstrated in several species of Drosophila (Andolfatto et al. 2011).

We attempted to identify the relative selection intensities placed on each selected trait via the imprints that multi-trait selection had left on the Angus genome.

Index weights were estimated from the multi-trait selection model.

We statistically analyze the effects of trial setting, trait selection and trait summarizing technique on GIST 2.0.

These SNPs might be used in genotyping, QTL mapping, or marker-assisted trait selection further in sweetpotato.

The graphs in Figures 1, 2 and 3 illustrate the dynamic process that gain is allocated to each trait under multi-trait selection.
