Sentence examples for estimate of diversification from inspiring English sources

Although we are not able to link diversification events to individual climatic events (i.e. a particular glacial-interglacial cycle) with any confidence, these dates provide a coarse-resolution estimate of diversification timing.

The authors are aware that estimates of diversification times using a molecular clock can be subject to considerable levels of error.

We highlight that our estimates coincide with estimates of diversification from other bird lineages.

Estimates of diversification rates vary depending on the model of diversification used in BDL on the maximum clade credibility tree from BEAST (Table 2).

These dated trees have permitted the study of character evolution via the reconstruction of ancestral traits [ 11], inference of biogeographical history [ 7], as well as estimates of diversification rates [ 2, 8, 10].

Substitution rates for each locus are described in Lawson (2010) [ 26]: ND2 0.00957/lineage/my [ 61]; C-myc 0.0006334/lineage/my [ 26]; POMC 0.000721/lineage/my [ 26]; and Rag-1 0.00042/lineage/my [ 62], and used for approximate estimates of diversification events.

To further evaluate the hypothesis of an explosive radiation of megabats and determine the potential processes involved will require a number of additional analyses including estimates of divergence times, estimates of diversification rates, and comparisons with other mammalian families with similar divergence times.

We first reconstructed the phylogeny of CA Heroines and subsequently used likelihood reconstruction to determine the basal node from which to estimate patterns of diversification.

Using our current phylogeny as a stepping stone, increased genomic and taxonomic sampling of Atlantic corals should allow us to take advantage of several promising new approaches to estimate rates of diversification and evaluate models of adaptive radiation [ 52, 53].

We included a modification of the birth-death process that accounts for incomplete taxon sampling based on Yang and Rannala [ 33] and Stadler [ 34] in which the fraction of the sampled species out of the total diversity is used to correct the estimate of the diversification parameters.

Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo methods offer a promising framework to incorporate phylogenetic uncertainty when estimating rates of diversification.
