And Divergent is dangerous.
Looking at Additional file 1: Table S2, it can be seen that the eight smallest plates have been formed in divergent environments.
They include not only different nations on different continents and Oceania but also cultures with widely divergent environments, economies (from foraging and pastoralism to industrialism), and residence patterns (from nomadic to sedentary; Heinrich et al. 2006; Hermann et al. 2008).
We've found that the best customer experiences are necessarily borne from diverse and divergent environments.
The model has ecologically divergent environments on a microscale level (Figure 1A), imposing divergent selective pressures on the surviving organisms.
The model has ecologically divergent environments at a microscale level, conferring divergent selective pressures on the surviving organisms.
By raising individuals from different environments in a common laboratory environment (common garden) we can differentiate between adaptive and plastic responses to divergent environments.
"Evolution Canyon" (EC) in Israel mirrors a microcosmic evolutionary system across life and is ideal to study natural selection and local adaptation under sharply, microclimatically divergent environments.
Renewed interest in speciation mechanisms has revealed that divergent natural selection can be a powerful promoter of mating isolation, such that stronger pre-zygotic barriers to gene flow evolve between populations from more divergent environments, i.e. "ecological speciation" [1], [2].
B. burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, has a complex life cycle in which the microbe resides in widely divergent environments that include the midgut of the Ixodes tick, tick salivary glands, and in its pathogenic state within the mammalian reservoir when passed to the inadvertent human host [1].
