We combined these analyses to examine if patterns of Heroine diversification were consistent with rapid lineage accumulation coincident with their invasion of Central America.
Be consistent with the rules.
The importance of host breadth as a determinant of diversification rate is consistent with the assumed importance of host-switching in speciation of phytophagous and parasitic lineages [ 46, 50].
CEACAM1 N domain regions corresponding to the CFG face (codons 41-72 and 99-111; Figure 4C and Additional File 1) are the least conserved and probably represent regions selected for diversification, which is consistent with the CFG face being responsible for (bacterial and viral) ligand binding [ 30, 35].
Although its underlying cause remains unclear, CrtI diversification in myxobacteria is consistent with the large genome size and abundance of gene duplications reported for these organisms [98].
Third, we test whether the timing of diversification within G. elliotii is consistent with climatic shifts induced by Pleistocene glacial cycles.
Sequence divergences amongst gall-thrips specialising on Plurinerves suggest this group has been subject to a rapid and relatively recent diversification episode and this is consistent with processes of climatic cycling during the Quaternary period.
The pattern of diversification within the Prochlorococcus lineage is consistent with an evolutionary progression from LL ancestors restricted to the deep euphotic zone, towards HL strains able to exploit the high light niche in the surface mixed layer.
Indeed, the intrinsic nature of cellular diversification in the developing retina is consistent with a large and growing literature on various of transcription factors (TFs), often working together within hierarchies, that are involved in specifying cell fates [ 16,17].
This is consistent with the diversification of all vascular plants from a common ancestor which is thought to have lived about 400 Ma [ 42].
Together, this evidence is consistent with constant diversification rates and suggests that the Neotropical Troidini are able to colonize all areas containing Aristolochia[ 34].
