refimprove date September 2011 Sexual Bimaturism is an evolution ary idea that affects both sexes and how they develop. In humans, Sexual Bimaturism is evident in how males hit puberty about two years later then girls. This is because in nature polygyny , a marriage system that humans probably practiced in which many females were under one alpha male , has selected for late maturing males. If a young male were to hit puberty early and compete for females he most likely would have been killed by the bigger, stronger male who hit puberty later and waited before entering the sexual game. Types of marriages and how they were to develop Polygyny Many females under one male The typical Bimaturism that tends to develop from this is a slow development on the male part and fast, or normal, development for the female. Example, Humans Polyandry Many males under one females The typical results is usually a slow maturing female while a fast or normally maturing male. Example, Hyena s This is not to be confused with Sexual dimorphism Sexual Dimorphism in which SexualselectionSexualSelection directly effects natural selection and selects for males with desirable traits for females, who almost always selects the mate.

Other uses Negative selection disambiguation In natural selection , negative selection ref Loewe, L. 2008 . http www.nature.com scitable topicpage Negative Selection 1136 Negative selection . Nature Education 1 1 . ref or purifying selection is the selective removal of alleles that are Mutation Harmful mutations deleterious . This can result in stabilizing selection through the purging of deleterious variations that arise. Purging of deleterious alleles can be achieved on the population genetics level, with as little as a single point mutation being the unit of selection. In such a case, carriers of the harmful point mutation have fewer offspring each generation, reducing the frequency of the mutation in the gene pool. In the case of strong negative selection on a locus, the purging of deleterious variants will result in the occasional removal of genetic linkage linked variation, producing a decrease in the level of variation surrounding the locus under selection. The accidental purging of non deleterious alleles due to such spatial proximity to deleterious alleles is called background selection . ref Brian Charlesworth Charlesworth, B. , Morgan, M.

Tournament selection is a method of selecting an individual from a population of individuals in a genetic algorithm . Tournament selection involves running several tournaments among a few individuals chosen at random from the population. The winner of each tournament the one with the best fitness is selected for Crossover genetic algorithm crossover . Selection pressure is easily adjusted by changing the tournament size. If the tournament size is larger, weak individuals have a smaller chance to be selected. Tournament selection pseudo code choose k the tournament size individuals from the population at random choose the best individual from pool tournament with probability p choose the second best individual with probability p 1 p choose the third best individual with probability p 1 p 2 and so on... Deterministic tournament selection selects the best individual when p 1 in any tournament. A 1 way tournament k 1 selection is equivalent to random selection. The chosen individual can be removed from the population that the selection is made from if desired, otherwise individuals can be selected more than once for the next generation. Tournament selection has several benefits it is efficient to code, works on parallel architectures and allows the selection pressure to be easily adjusted.

Tandem selection is a method of artificial selection in which useful traits are selected for sequentially. For instance, one could select for both increased milk Crop yield yield and increased milk fat content in cow s via tandem selection by first selecting those with the best of one trait, say those that produce highest milk yield, and then when that trait is at a satisfactory level, by starting to select for those cows that produce milk with the greatest milk fat content instead. However, for cows to produce milk with greater fat content, yield may have to go down due to, perhaps, limits of the cows metabolism . So, while you are selecting for cows which have increased milk fat content, the yield of milk they are producing may also go down, thus reversing the selection process previously performed to increase it. Therefore, tandem selection has a major disadvantage to other major types of artificial selection for multiple traits, such as culling and index selection , as there is a tendency for the last trait to be lost as the next is being selected.

unreferenced date August 2010 Selection ratio refers to the ratio of the number job positions to the number of job applicants and is used in the context of selection and recruitment . It is typically assumed to be a number between 0 and 1 where a number closer to zero implies that there are many applicants for any one position. The selection ratio provides information about the value of assessment tools, such as interviews, work samples, and psychometric tests. When the selection ratio is close to one, most applicants will need to be hired in order to fill the available positions. As such knowing that one applicant is likely to perform better than another is of limited value. In contrast when the selection ratio is closer to zero, assessment tools have greater value in indicating which subset of job applicants are likely to perform best. Estimates of the selection ratio can form part of estimates of utility for a given selection and recruitment system.
