Sentence examples for communities convergence from inspiring English sources

The ecological structure in the cheirogaleid assemblage arises from two general niche-based processes that determine the structure of many communities: convergence of coexisting species due to environmental filtering (trait‐based assembly rules [ 86]) and divergence resulting from interspecific interactions (niche-based assembly rules [ 77]).

(B ) We explored conditions for community ratio convergence ('Requirements for steady-state ratios in the six types of communities' in 'Materials and methods') by looking for the existence of stable steady states in which the two partners in an interaction neighborhood would reach identical fitness r ^ G − r ^ R = 0 (solid circles).

In another plant community change study, Fukami and colleagues [32] compared compositional and plant trait changes over eight years and found that communities showed trait convergence but not compositional convergence [32].

The institute aims to become a regional hub for the bio-info-nano convergence community by bringing together interested biologists, chemists, physicists, and engineers.

In the future various versions may arise, exposing the data in different ontologies, supporting current community needs, however, convergence is expected after a period of experimenting with ontologies that may not prove to be practically useful.

The strengthening of informal networks in the learning process, through the convergence of communities that hold the knowledge, will allow relation to one another through common interests (Davenport & Prusak, 1998).

At all sites, the re-structuring provoked a convergence of introduced communities towards local resident communities.

The neutral model was used to identify whether the community structure shows divergence, convergence or neutrality.

Convergent evolution, the phenomenon in which distantly related species living in the same environment adapt by evolving the same features, has been known from the time of Darwin, but convergence of entire communities is a different matter, and anoles are arguably the best-documented example of this phenomenon.

A convergence of both communities is desirable since this can lead to powerful optimizations.

Through information sharing, the utility and the communities update their decisions until convergence is reached.
