Sentence examples for evolutionary fragmentation from inspiring English sources

Unlike the high identity of rrnS among three Crassostrea (including the duplicated one in C. gigas), there is low identity between rrnL3 and rrnL5 (36.4%) in C. gigas, perhaps a consequence of rrnL's modest evolutionary fragmentation, rather than duplication [ 31].

At evolutionary time-scales, fragmentation of habitats can also favor speciation (e.g., [ 12, 13]).

This means that the evolutionary outcomes of fragmentation will depend upon the traits that characterize species.

This is particularly important since many guidelines were developed in the 1990s, and our understanding of the demographic and genetic effects associated with landscape fragmentation, evolutionary and population genetic patterns, small population theory and effects, and gene flow have increased significantly.

We further show that understanding species interactions is vital to predicting evolutionary responses to habitat fragmentation.

Such a time frame allows evolutionary changes to habitat fragmentation in flying insects [ 30].

Though several models have been developed, the evolutionary pathways responsible for fragmentation of mitochondrial ribosomal genes remain unknown.

Quantifying the relative importance of these selective agents will help to predict the evolutionary consequences of habitat fragmentation on disease prevalence.

However, the main message of our paper is that changes in dispersal according to habitat fragmentation have evolutionary consequences exceeding by far such selection of dispersal related traits.

Most evolutionary work on habitat fragmentation has focused on effects of reduced population sizes, reduced genetic diversity, and reduced gene flow among populations (Fahrig 2003; Ewers and Didham 2006; Blanchet et al. 2010).

These are the two largest tropical continental masses, and both share similar climatic zonations and have a large number of mammal species despite of their very different evolutionary history after the fragmentation of Gondwanaland.
