Sharp genetic divergence (large D) over very short geographic distances against small genetic divergence (small D) between large geographically distances were observed in wild emmer populations (see Additional file 2).
"Our seaside area also has a high proportion of elderly residents many of whom are geographically distanced from their family members who might otherwise care for them, so the default when they are unwell, or even just vulnerable, is a hospital admission.
We're geographically distanced from everyone else and we don't realize how wildly different other countries are.
Focus groups and interviews were conducted via telephone after business hours, for the convenience of participants and to facilitate interaction in the focus groups between geographically distanced pharmacists.
Studies of "distributed" research groups show that the success of collaborative research undertaken by geographically distanced teams depends on regular face-to-face meetings [ 26] in environments that encourage researchers to treat each other as equals [ 27].
The greatest Dest values were observed between the E405 and N101 populations that are geographically separated by two major freeways and the greatest geographical distance.
We detected such a pattern of genetic isolation by geographic distance in the CSE European outbreak of WCR, indicating greater gene flow between geographically close than between geographically distant locations, and thus that the dispersal of WCR is spatially limited.
Thus, there was no clear clustering pattern of geographically closer accessions in the present study indicating that the association between genetic similarity and geographical distance was less significant.
The relationship between SNP genetic distance and geographical distance was investigated, and it was found that the estimates of genetic distance (D) were geographically independent.
The relationship between SNPs' genetic distance and geographical distance was investigated, and it was found that the estimates of genetic distance (D) were geographically independent, as was previously found for allozymes, RAPD loci, and microsatellite analyses [ 1, 37, 38].
