Sentence examples for adaptive diversification from inspiring English sources

Because markers developed from the transcriptome are associated with expressed genes, they may better reveal intra- and inter-populational functional variations and are therefore suitable for studies of adaptive diversification or local adaptation [ 4].

Repeated adaptation to novel niches is a pervasive form of parallel evolution, and abiotic adaptive diversification is one instance in which multiple evolutionary transitions can be used to identify patterns in either the traits and/or underlying genetic basis of adaptive phenotypic change.

Members of the genus Acacia have undergone similar adaptive diversification; the 700 species range from mulga and myall the dominant trees of vast arid areas to small leafless blades at ground level, the grass wattles.

"I've been studying adaptive diversification for years, and to get a surprise like this at such a late point is exciting".

We review how the first wave of genomic investigation across major archetypal adaptive radiations has started to shed light on the molecular basis of adaptive diversification.

Starting from a probabilistically constructed initial solution, BLS uses a Neighborhood Search NSS) procedure based on several specifically designed move operators for local optimization, and employs an adaptive diversification strategy to escape from local optima.

If this is true, tectonic processes and subsequent erosion have likely been important as stimuli for both adaptive and non-adaptive diversification in the Drakensberg.

In extreme cases processes such as non-adaptive diversification (speciation without divergent selection) could mask the existence of ancient lineages as divergent as ecologically and morphologically diverse radiations recognised as genera or even families in related groups.

Some authors propose that strains of lineage CC133 could have evolved and adapted to small ruminants derived from humans due to an adaptive genome diversification resulted from allelic variation, gene loss, and horizontal acquisition of mobile genetic elements containing virulence genes with attenuated or enhanced activity in ruminants.

Implicit in this definition is the idea that evolutionary phenomena such as speciation, adaptive radiation, diversification, as well as phenotypic evolution, can ultimately be reduced to gene frequency change.

High frequency of phenotype switching is often the result of adaptive genetic diversification resulting in increased chances of bacterial survival in their niche [8] [13].
