We included sequences for these species from each of the defined families and subfamilies in order to fully represent the broad-scale diversity of NRs.
These attributes were then used to produce maps of the Pacific at a broad scale to establish the spatial diversity of the geologic and geomorphic attributes of the islands.
Community structure was mainly driven by the altitudinal gradient and spring flow variation at broad scales, with functional diversity gradually decreasing with elevation and being maximized at intermediate levels of flow variability.
This shows that although variable repetitions of trills and buzzes contribute to song diversity, bats also vary broad scale patterns from one rendition to the next.
It should, however, provide a basis for robust inferences concerning the general levels of genetic diversity in the species and broad scale, deep phylogenetic structuring.
On a broad scale across all islands mitochondrial as well as nuclear diversity indices did not correlate with island size (i.e. island perimeter; (see Figure S4 [see Additional file 10]).
We used patterns of microsatellite diversity to uncover the presence of a broad scale genetic structure in M. truncatula.
The infant gut microbiome has been found to undergo a smooth increase in phylogenetic diversity over the first few years, while broad scale taxonomic patterns are characterized by abrupt events, eventually conforming to a mature profile [ 46].
Taxonomic diversity, however, is not evenly distributed within the continent; on a broad scale, the Amazon rain forest is home to completely different species to those from the mountain tops of the Andes, and areas differ on a finer scale in their species richness and endemism [ 4].
This study was aimed at determining how agricultural landscape composition drives community diversity and composition of farmland birds in the characteristic bocage landscape in Brittany (NW France) on a broad scale.
This study shows that on a broad scale, P. nobilis populations (sampled along the Western Mediterranean and combined with previously published data of the entire Mediterranean) have high diversity and low inter-population differentiation.
