Sentence examples for geographical mode from inspiring English sources

It has also been suggested that the driving force underlying the geographical mode of speciation (adaptive evolution, vicariance) can be inferred from phylogeny (Avise and Walker 1998; Losos and Glor 2003).

The geographical mode of speciation (e.g. allopatric versus sympatric) of both ancestral and extant species can be deduced by examining the current distribution patterns of sister taxa using interspecific phylogeny approaches (Losos and Glor 2003).

Even though Tricyrtis produces septicidal capsule-type fruits throughout the whole genus, long-distance dispersal may not be the major factor explaining the geographical mode of speciation at infraspecific level.

Therefore, in this study, divergence time and rate data were calculated and used to infer the geographical mode of speciation, and to interpret the roles of biotic factors (interactions with endemic insects) and abiotic factors (break-up of tectonic plates) in the formation of current areas of endemism of Tricyrtis.

Such absence of age-range overlap correlation can either be caused by post-speciation range shifts, or by a mix of different geographical modes of speciation [ 1].

Nevertheless, apomixis might be facultative in these species, and there is no information on the geographical distribution of modes of reproduction.

However, there are only few cases in which the prevalence of these three main speciation modes (geographical isolation, sexual selection, ecological segregation) has been assessed in a comparative framework, rather than testing their individual effect on a target group (but see e.g., [ 13, 14]).

The official air quality rankings of the 74 cities are discussed from the aspects of geographical location, economic development mode and regional air quality management.

Even though all subjects have been phenotyped for similar traits (e.g. verbal memory and general cognition), they are different in the geographical origin, age, or mode of recruitment, as well as in the specific tests used to assess cognitive phenotypes.
