Sentence examples for use traits from inspiring English sources

Decreased insect folivory will favor certain plant species, especially those with acquisitive resource use traits such as pioneer and exotic invasive, thereby affecting plant community composition in fragmented habitats.

Our approach examines the selective pressures attending the evolution of nitrogen use abilities in different regions of the ocean, by studying the fate of rare mutants with different nutrient use traits.

Parent material and drainage varies resulting in lower soil water availability and nutrient concentrations and greater light availability on sandstone soils [12], [32], which result in differential plant resource use traits between the two forest types [12].

Laboratory studies of eco-evolutionary dynamics have shown that, when prey species face an evolutionary trade-off between predator avoidance and competitive ability, release from predation can sharpen the resource use traits of prey, with implications for ecological interactions [21], [22], [55], [56].

An alternative to overcome these problems is to use traits that are indicators of the reproductive efficiency of the herd and are easier to measure, such as age at first calving.

Theoretical work suggests that under conditions where the most common phenotype depletes the most abundant resource, density-dependent disruptive selection on resource use traits can give rise to phenotypic variants adapted to the extremes of the resource spectrum [ 11, 12, 19, 20].

We compared functional richness and functional β-diversity based on resource-use traits of frogs between three land-use categories in a rainforest ecosystem in Madagascar.

Using traits like volume, pauses and speed, Cogito makes recommendations to agents in the form of gentle text nudges.

We used traits and ecological characteristics to determine factors limiting beetle colonisation, and also considered how food-web structure changed during restoration.

Selection to lessen competition between these species has led to divergence in resource-use traits, both between species [39] and between sympatric and allopatric populations within each species [31], [38].

Overall, by combining whole-genome sequencing and measurements of host-use traits, we generated a very large dataset that fostered subsequent tests of inferred genotype-phenotype associations.
