This is partly because mate preference has several often independent attributes such as responsiveness, selectivity and preferred trait value, and these may be difficult to disentangle [39].
We have constructed a spatially explicit individual based model, simulating even-aged stand development, and compared the behaviour of selected biodiversity indices (overyielding, selectivity and complementarity) with expectations based on life history traits of constituent species.
Data from both the core and rodent species specific gene datasets can now form the basis for investigating the differences in host cell selectivity and other pathophysiological traits such as sequestration observed between the different RMP.
The specificity and selectivity of this putative trait-marker has to be investigated in follow-up studies.
To carry out their activities, biological macromolecules balance different physical traits, such as stability, interaction affinity, and selectivity.
To overcome the limitations of naturally occurring enzymes, directed evolution has become the most important tool for improving critical traits of biocatalysts such as thermostability, activity, selectivity, and tolerance towards organic solvents for industrial applications.
The selectivity of fishing on many fitness traits in salmonids, coupled with the ample evidence of underlying genetic variation in these traits, indicates that rapid evolutionary responses to fishing are possible.
Lewin et al. (2006) summarized current knowledge on recreational angling patterns and found that locally high annual exploitation rates of up to 80% and pronounced selectivity for species, size, age, sex, and behavioral traits are common.
Due to general flexibility of the gear selectivity framework, also additional information about e.g., behavioural traits playing a role in gear selection (Biro and Post 2008; Uusi-Heikkilä et al. 2008) can be easily incorporated.
What are the vestigial structural and mechanistic traits that remain in biosynthetic enzymes during the diversification of substrate and product selectivity?
It is known that salt tolerance is a quantitative trait supported by genes affecting ion homeostasis, ion transport, ion compartmentalization and ion selectivity.
