Sentence examples for causing divergence from inspiring English sources

Ecological character displacement occurs when competition imposes divergent selection on interacting species, causing divergence in traits associated with resource use (Martin and Pfennig 2011).

The PhC molecule reversibly detaches from the original binding site of PDC109/a between 240 ns and 334 ns, causing divergence of the distances (left panels in Fig. 3).

Formation of a land bridge divides the proto-Gulf into two separate basins (north and south), each with its respective southern end closed, causing divergence of the Gulf North and Gulf South Clades.

These results suggest that there is an interaction between selection and genetic drift causing divergence even at a phenotypic level in these small, subdivided populations.

Both methods suggested divergence times ca. 600 800 years bp, providing strong evidence for establishment of dams in the Medieval as the factor causing divergence.

Apparent competition [ 38], driven by shared nest predators, has also been shown to be a strong selective force causing divergence in nest-site use in birds [ 27],[ 28].

Judging by single molecular markers, early events (about 100,000 years BP) during the last ice ages caused divergence of mitochondrial clades8 and up to four P. chalcographus glacial refugia were hypothesized, consistent with those of Norway spruce7,8.

Equivalently speaking, it remained unclear for those adaptive filters of general asymmetric structure whether worst-case sequences exist that could cause divergence no matter what the step-size (μ k >0) is.

The SVD method, on the other hand, allows to derive the worst-case sequence u k so that divergence can be guaranteed [52] and indeed for (mu _{k}>2/|{mathbf {u}_{k}}|_{2}^{2}) divergence can be ensured that is, sequences that cause divergence can always be found.

A recent study speculated that contrasting parasite-mediated selection regimes in pelagic and littoral habitats of lakes could cause divergence in the MHC alleles between limnetic and benthic sticklebacks [12].

The glacial history of the region, especially at the Pleistocene, is another candidate for having caused divergence of populations.
