Definition of cline in English:

cline

noun klʌɪnklaɪn

1A continuum with an infinite number of gradations from one extreme to the other.
渐变群
a point along a cline of activity
活度渐变群中的一点。
Example sentencesExamples
- Is there evidence of broad or narrow clines in vocal characters?
- In sober fact, just for those moments, the cline between two weathers must I suppose have been only a couple of hundred yards wide and it just happened to coincide with the track.
1. 1.1Biology A gradation in one or more characteristics within a species or other taxon, especially between different populations.
  〔生〕梯度变异，变异群。参见ECOCLINE
  Example sentencesExamples
  There are numerous examples of population differentiation in body size and development time along latitudinal and elevational clines.
  Even within a subspecies, vocalizations vary between sample points in a manner consistent with points along a cline.
  Both genetic and morphological clines along the Virginia transect were steeper than along the West Virginia transect.
  In that study, the deflexus characters were reported to change to inflexus, and to coincide with a reduction in flower size along the geographical cline.
  Here, when there is cooperativity and the repressive activities of u and v are balanced the null clines, being sigmoids, intersect three times.

Derivatives

clinal

adjective

In contrast to the weak clinal pattern in wet weight, wing area showed strong negative slopes with T cline at all rearing temperatures.
Example sentencesExamples
- The null clinal pattern would be supported by a negative relationship between T cline, and wing loading, as we have observed for T cline, and size.
- Clinal patterns were determined by linear regression of the trait means on clinal temperature (T cline ).
- There was no significant allele frequency variation and the mean frequencies are not clinal.
- Scatterplots show that those variables are related differently in the three putative species and appear not to vary in a clinal fashion.

Origin

1930s: from Greek klinein 'to slope'.
