Sentence examples for conserved niche from inspiring English sources

This study supports the notion that disturbed plots are more clustered than expected, rather than 'undisturbed' plots being more overdispersed, suggesting that disturbed plant communities are being more strongly influenced by environmental filtering of conserved niche traits.

Perhaps the slow rate of molecular evolution in Cichla [ 66, 67], or a tight correlation between morphology and a conserved niche, limits opportunities for divergence.

This implicates loss-of-function of a few genes in early restriction to the human host (ancestral pseudogenes including sopD2) and some in subsequent convergent adaptation to the new niche (conserved and in particular shared conserved pseudogenes including shdA, ratB, sivH).

Phylogenetic studies showed that SMU.440 is related to a particular ecological niche and conserved specifically in some oral pathogens, due to lateral gene transfer.

Fifth, given the recency of the introduction in evolutionary terms and the expected ongoing geneflow, we can expect the climate niche of the species to be conserved; that is, a climate niche model of the invasion area should comprise the native range and vice versa.

According to the concept of niche conservatism (Wiens 2004; Wiens and Donoghue 2004), lineages tend to conserve their ecological niche through time, the set of environmental conditions in which lineages can reproduce and maintain viable populations.

Furthermore, the niche of a species is usually conserved [54] [57], suggesting adaptation to new niche space is unlikely, particularly under the short time scales analyzed.

This observation suggests that elements of the SSC niche are probably conserved across vertebrates.

Because the simple experimental approach presented in this study uses such small pieces of tissue for individual samples, it allows for replicate measurement of treatment effects on normal and malignant adult human germ cells maintained within their somatic niche, so that conserved and distinguishing responses can be monitored from different areas of the sample tumour sample.

This would happen if ecological traits related to niche partitioning were phylogenetically conserved, and that the stronger competition in undisturbed plots led to stronger niche differentiation.

Analyses indicated that species conserved the parameters of their ecological niche to a high degree during the pre-invasion interval (Malizia and Stigall 2011; Walls and Stigall 2011).
