Sentence examples for evolutionary differentiation from inspiring English sources

Instead, they may originate from a property shared by all invertebrate iridoviruses that would have been strongly differentiated during the evolutionary differentiation of ascoviruses from iridoviruses.

In collaboration with W.L. Brown, he developed the concept of "character displacement," a process in which populations of two closely related species, after first coming into contact with each other, undergo rapid evolutionary differentiation in order to minimize the chances of both competition and hybridization between them.

This research was particularly relevant because it considered how species' differentiation across geographic space became translated into evolutionary differentiation through time.

An understanding of the evolutionary differentiation of resistance genes is therefore important for exploring additional diversity in the rice gene pool.

Evolutionary differentiation from the Schu S4 genome is occurring, but slowly and with little effect upon the resulting amino-acid sequences.

The two species are difficult to distinguish from each other [18], [38], [52], [71], but their evolutionary differentiation has been confirmed using allozymes [18], [19], DNA (present study) and recent morphological work (WFH and Dr Danny Tang).

Thus, it is likely that the NR6 subfamily homolog in the Pacific oyster could have been lost due to a gene loss event either during the separation of ecdyzoans and lophotrochozoans or during one of the evolutionary differentiations to the Pacific oyster.

As the phenotypic differences in neonate size do not necessarily imply micro-evolutionary differentiation, the genetic basis of offspring size was further analysed in the laboratory using paternal half sib analyses.

Natural selection is an important evolutionary process affecting differentiation between populations.

Variance in reproductive success among individuals in a population results from both selection and random events and is a prerequisite for evolutionary change, population differentiation, and finally speciation.

Gene gains and losses are important processes contributing to evolutionary innovation and differentiation [ 64, 65], perhaps especially so in teleosts because of the teleost-specific whole genome duplication event [ 66].
