... by sexual preference of certain traits. In one study more female fruit flies preferred certain cuticular hydrocarboned males, causing more predominance of this trait in the novel populations (from a common ancestor). Diversifying selection is sympatric also, but seems to be caused more ...

A further design requirement for silk proteins is a strong predominance of hydrophobic amino acid residues to provide for the hydrophobic interactions, water exclusion, and betacrystallite formation required ...

... production. We have also observed that animals and humans infected with filarial nematodes mount a specific humoral response to WSP and that the predominance of IgG2 antibodies is indicative of a Th1-type, cell mediated response. Therefore the role of Wolbachia in the host response to filarial ...
