A unique feature of the sets that occur in his last string quartets and sonatas is the sense of cumulative growth, not merely from variation to variation but within each variation itself.
Although connecting segregating genomic variation to variation in phenotypes and fitness remains challenging, clinal genomics is poised to increase our understanding of local adaptation and the selective pressures that drive the extensive phenotypic diversity observed in nature.
Even more ambitiously, it is now possible to begin to assess the contribution of epigenetic variation to variation in fitness among individuals in natural populations (Visser 2008; Herrera and Bazaga 2011).
These findings highlight the need to account for the contribution of parasite genetic variation to variation in host susceptibility, otherwise the genetic architecture of disease susceptibility will be misrepresented.
We examined temperature-size relationships in isolines of D. pseudoobscura collected across a latitudinal transect to establish the relative contributions of phenotypic plasticity and genotypic variation to variation in body size across the species geographic range.
Metamodels of a dynamic model, which are statistical models mapping parametric variation to variation in the state variables throughout the entire relevant parameter space [ 2], will be helpful in meeting several of these challenges.
"The causes of albedo variations can range from surface topography variations to compositional variations.
This allowed us to assess the relative contributions of phenotypic variation and spurious variations to clustering of faces.
The compensator also adapts to local variations and variations over time due to wear.
