It should be noted, however, that the females in Figure 5A and B, which show the most divergence in PI-MEC contribution, are littermates who shared nearly identical histories.
While observational evidence suggests that variable predator and flow regimes can drive adaptive trait divergence in fishes, the relative contribution of genetic divergence and phenotypic plasticity to morphological variation of fishes in the field has largely been overlooked (Langerhans 2008).
The remaining populations differed in contribution due to diversity or divergence of haplotypes, as well as nucleotide and θS diversity.
Note that such a scenario is perfectly consistent with finding that genetic variation makes a major contribution to among-lineage divergence in trophic morphology (Albertson & Kocher, 2006).
Despite the identification of a plausible mechanism for divergence in sympatry, it is impossible to rule out any contribution of historical allopatry to genetic divergence.
Thus, while we find support for the recombination suppression hypothesis, the contribution of this inversion to life history divergence in this group is likely complex.
Several years have passed since the outburst of the financial crisis, and there is growing attention to the potential contribution of labour mobility to counteract the divergence in growth and unemployment among EU countries and particularly within the euro area.
We have attempted to use polymorphism and divergence data to distinguish the contributions of adaptive and slightly deleterious mutations to nonsynonymous divergence in the pseudoobscura clade (Fay et al. 2002).
Because ACh projections to the hippocampus provide major contributions to visuospatial memory performance, we clearly expect to see significant divergence in behavioral outcomes for the three different OPs.
The objectives were to investigate the observational performances of geomagnetic induction from internal induced currents of the Earth and the possible divergence of their contributions to Dst variations with different intensities to improve the accuracy in Dst prediction.
