The reproductive performance as a whole thus tends to become stabilized at a level which is adequate for maintenance but still allows the retention of a great deal of variability and of wide differences in fitness between individuals ... characters become stabilized around means with distinct genetic and environmental tails on each side ... This is the result of what may be called 'stabilizing selection'. 2, record 1, English, - stabilizing%20selection

Genetic variation in seed yield and its components was investigated in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in two experiments established in a spaced plant design. The first experiment evaluated the among-population genetic variation in a set of 45 cultivated populations. It showed a significant population effect for all the characters evaluated with a different behavior among the Mediterranean and the Nordic materials while the population x year interaction was only significant for the seed yield per plant. 2, record 2, English, - seed%20yield

Variabilité génétique intra-et inter-population pour le rendement grainier et ses composantes chez la luzerne. Deux essais ont été implantés, en plante isolées, pour évaluer la variabilité génétique pour le rendement grainier et ses composantes chez la luzerne(Medicago sativa L.). Le premier essai a mis en évidence une variabilité génétique inter-population au sein d’un ensemble de 45 populations cultivées pour toutes les composantes évaluées avec un comportement différent des types nordiques et des types méditerranéens. L'interaction année x population n’ est significative que pour le rendement et le nombre de graines par plante [...]. 2, record 2, French, - rendement%20en%20grains

Many environmental variables have stability envelopes within which they commonly fluctuate, and if such variables are forced beyond the limits of the envelope, they may assume quite different or unknown trajectories in time. In these cases, variables which are predicted to move outside their normal stability limits might be considered as significant impacts, while small shifts within the envelopes might be considered insignificant. Use of this approach is limited to our knowledge of stability envelopes as supported by empirical evidence. 1, record 3, English, - stability%20envelope

De nombreuses variables environnementales ont des limites "d’équilibre" de variabilité naturelles au-delà desquelles leur comportement en fonction du temps risque d’être très différent ou imprévisible. Dans ces cas, les variables que l'on prévoit sortir des limites de leur comportement normal peuvent être considérées comme des incidences importantes, alors que des petites modifications dans le cadre des limites peuvent être tenues pour négligeables. Cette approche n’ est applicable que dans la mesure où nos connaissances des limites d’équilibre sont basées sur des preuves empiriques. 1, record 3, French, - limite%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9quilibre%20de%20variabilit%C3%A9%20naturelle
