The phrase "adjacent localities" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to refer to areas or places that are next to each other or in close proximity.
Example: "The study focused on the environmental impact of pollution in adjacent localities, comparing their responses to similar challenges."
Alternatives: "neighboring areas" or "contiguous regions".
Thus, most sharing of haplotypes between adjacent localities is probably caused by historical association rather than to ongoing gene flow.
At the time of historic contact the Puebloan peoples were restricted to the Rio Grande Valley and adjacent localities and to scattered settlements in west central New Mexico and on the Hopi mesas of Arizona.
Looking closely at the results, the popularity of these lists (as well as the neighborhoods it cites) correlate with nationwide trends, which can be generally characterized as a gentrification of Halloween: a new normal in the trick-or-treat tradition wherein masked visitors patronize only the most moneyed neighborhoods while adjacent localities fall to the wayside.
Sample sizes were divergent 146 from Central Africa versus 8 from West Africa (two adjacent localities in south-central Nigeria were excluded from this analysis, as viral specimens were unavailable for genetic analysis, and so could not be characterized as belonging to either West or Central African clades of monkeypox virus [15].
Logistic regression was then carried out using R [ 79], using the logistf add-on package, with the model: 'genetically disjunct' ~ 'maximum beach length between adjacent localities' + 'coastal distance between adjacent localities'.
The abrupt step-clines at six independent gene loci suggest that introgression has been limited to adjacent localities.
Together with the evidence for high pressure metamorphism from an adjacent locality, our results correlate with models that predict paired metamorphism at the Archean Proterozoic transition with the onset of modern style plate tectonics.
Adjacent locality pairs were first classified binomially as either genetically disjunct (D ≥1.0) or not (D < 1.0).
The only adjacent locality pair separated by a beach > 20 km long that did not show a genetic disjunction was Lebu/Tirua (locality pair J in Fig. 5), separated by 62 km of uninterrupted beach.
These high rates of uplift, and the corresponding rates of subsidence of the sea-floor in adjacent offshore localities, are explained as consequences of coupling between erosion and sedimentation by induced flow in the lower continental crust, this coupling being particularly strong due to the narrowness of the southern part of the Italian peninsula.
As above, these putative hybrids were either sympatric with individuals of the potential donor species, or adjacent to localities where they were found.
