It can be used when discussing trends, distributions, or arrangements related to geography or spatial data.
Example: "The study revealed a geographical pattern of urban development that correlated with population growth."
Alternatives: "a spatial arrangement of" or "a geographic trend of".
Of several potential mechanisms which could lead to such a geographical pattern of variation, we argue that a combination of range shifts due to climatic fluctuations, and genetic drift are most likely.
In addition, the cyclic variability in the soil's grain-size distribution and geochemical characteristics is compared with that of the loess palaeosol sequences at two other sites in China, indicating a geographical pattern of cyclic variation of the sequences.
Importantly, we found no evidence for a geographical pattern, regardless of data analysis.
Due to the inexistence of a variable for measuring the accessibility, one way to incorporate this could be through the investigation of a geographical pattern in the frailty of hospitals [ 42, 43].
The analysis of genotyping data for Italian goats revealed: (i) high levels of genetic polymorphism, (ii) a limited amount of inbreeding, (iii) a geographical pattern that underlies the distribution of genomic diversity, and (iv) a moderate and weak population structure in the Northern and Central-Southern breeds, respectively.
Whereas Utilization Ratios showed a similar geographical pattern of variation in both genders, BYM found a high fraction of variation attributable to spatial correlation in both men (71%, CI95%: 50 to 94) and women (62%, CI95%: 45 to 77).
However, each disease has a distinct geographical pattern of variation.
Our study illustrates how a striking geographical pattern of neutral diversity can emerge from past indirect hitchhiking selection in a structured population.
Selectively neutral nuclear genes would be expected to show a comparable geographical pattern of introgression compared to mitochondrial DNA when asymmetrical mitochondrial DNA introgression was caused by species displacement [ 4].
The phylogenetic hypothesis for the aloes reveals a distinctive geographical pattern of major clades of Aloe with four biogeographical centres of diversity: Southern Africa (~170 species), Madagascar (~120 species), East Africa/Zambezian region (~100 species), and the Horn of Africa/Ethiopian-Somalian Africa/Ethiopian-Somalian
When the STRUCTURE results were plotted on a map of Northern Norway as pie charts representing the affiliation of single populations to the four STRUCTURE groups (Fig. 2a), a geographical pattern was seen with two of the groups ('purple' and 'orange') dominating in Troms, and the other two groups ('blue' and 'green') dominating in Lofoten.
