Sentence examples for fish radiation from inspiring English sources

Overall, our findings illuminate the significance of gravel beaches as previously unappreciated theaters of marine fish radiation.

The putative PTH1R/PTH3R gene precursor and PTH2R gene are suggested to have emerged earlier, prior to or at the origin of vertebrates (1R), and PTH1R and PTH3R genes diverged subsequently prior to the Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish) radiation (2R).

WGD at the base of the teleost fish radiation (teleost-specific whole-genome duplication [TSGD]) was estimated at 450 320 Ma 3RR) (Kuraku and Meyer 2009; Sato and Nishida 2010).

If CA Heroines are in fact only 16 million years old, diversification in this group of over 100 species has been rapid compared to many fish radiations [ 65, 66].

In fish radiations the evolution of locomotor phenotypes may represent an important dimension of ecomorphological diversification given the implications of locomotion for feeding and habitat use.
