Sentence examples for a pattern of divergence from inspiring English sources

The threespine stickleback in small lakes of coastal British Columbia exhibit a pattern of divergence much like that seen in the Darwin's finches (Fig. 2).

Our observation that BESs retain phylogenetic signals, i.e. a pattern of divergence, demonstrates that substitutions affecting ESAG sequences are not entirely homogenised by recombination.

The main genetic features that distinguished the Cronobacter strains were putative prophages and several other gene clusters, a pattern of divergence typical among bacteria [52].

The second PCO axis shows a pattern of divergence in which several taxa possess caudal remigial papillae (crp) but not dorsal phalangeal fossae (dpf), and vice versa, which points to a trade-off between the prominence of 2° and distal 1° feather attachments, respectively.

Allopatric divergence is not expected to produce a pattern of discrete divergence islands within the genome.

First, there is a pattern of increasing divergence, or relaxed constraint, in the posterior HoxA genes in six teleost taxa, with divergence increasing from HoxA13 to HoxA9 (5′ to 3′, fig. 7) that is mirrored in the salmon and paddlefish posterior HoxA genes (albeit, not as precisely for the paddlefish paralogs that were duplicated most recently).

We have demonstrated a pattern of niche divergence among closely related species of Malagasy primates, as has been found in other taxa [12], [13], [25], [26].

Another possibility that has been much less explored is reproductive character displacement, also called reinforcement of reproductive barriers, a pattern of greater divergence of a trait between closely related taxa in areas of sympatry than in areas of recent contact following allopatric divergence [87].

Character displacement [ 56] describes a pattern of greater divergence of an isolating trait in areas of sympatry between closely related taxa than in areas of allopatry [ 57].

Upon closer examination, we observed a pattern of faster divergence for linked genes along an entire paralog cluster for both the HoxA and HoxD gene clusters in paddlefish.

Should this be the case, we would expect a pattern of rapid divergence in fru, especially in regions under positive selection.
