The phrase "experienced divergent" is not correct as it lacks clarity and context.
It could be used in a context discussing varied experiences or outcomes, but it needs additional information to be meaningful.
Example: "The team experienced divergent opinions during the meeting, leading to a rich discussion."
Alternatives: "faced differing" or "encountered varied".
To detect if the 13 protein-coding genes of neobatrachian species experienced divergent patterns of selection compared to non-neobatrachian species and other amphibians, we applied a two-ratio model test to the each-gene and all-gene datasets.
We hypothesize that this situation also reflects substantial heterogeneity of evolutionary rates, with taxa that experienced divergent morphological evolution being nested within larger groups that exhibit much greater morphological stasis.
We find little evidence to suggest that these loci experienced divergent selective pressures in different clades, which may suggest conservation in function and imply a common phenotypic relevance for this wide spread positive selection.
Still, it seems likely that a locus showing elevated between-population differentiation today compared to the genome-wide average has experienced divergent selection at least during some of its evolutionary history.
The reasons for trends in the spontaneous preterm birth rate are poorly understood, and countries with similar populations have experienced divergent trends, as in Denmark and Finland, for instance.
Taken together, our observations of 1) elevated SNP densities, 2) a bias toward high MAFs, and 3) the pattern of genetic differentiation among lineages for high-MAF SNPs suggest that select miRNA binding sites have experienced divergent selection during the evolution of the Lake Malawi species flock.
Our observation of clustering among outliers is consistent with the hypothesis that mutations contributing to divergence should accumulate in the regions of genome already experiencing divergent selection (Navarro and Barton 2003; Kirkpatrick and Barton 2006; Nosil et al. 2009) or experiencing low recombination rates (McGaugh and Noor 2012; Nachman and Payseur 2012).
In a similar vein, Aguilera et al. (2007) argue that 'because business organisations are embedded in different national systems, they will experience divergent degrees of internal and external pressures to engage in social responsibility initiatives' (p.836).
First, different populations or ecotypes should experience divergent infection levels.
In their analyses, population pairs experienced identical selection conditions and thus did not experience divergent selection.
The first prerequisite is that different populations experience divergent infection levels.
