Sentence examples for higher elevation populations from inspiring English sources

Newly discovered higher elevation populations experience more precipitation and are buffered from drought.

For example, [26], [27] show that range size and genetic differentiation of southern Appalachian Desmognathus species is related to temperature-dependent resting metabolic rate, with many high elevation populations existing near their thermal maxima and significantly limited in their ability to disperse through warmer, low-elevation environments.

The two high elevation populations did not differ significantly from each other.

The mid-elevation population at mid-COO differed significantly from the mid-elevation population at mid-WAI, as well as from the high elevation populations.

Populations at low elevation exhibit levels of allelic diversity and heterozygosity that do not differ significantly from those of high elevation populations.

From malarial challenge experiments [ 8], we know that today only approximately 35% of amakihi from high elevation populations survive infection under optimal conditions in the aviary.

Conversely, high elevation populations may not be protected by distance from regions in which conditions are favorable for infection, due to movement of individuals in and out of the low and especially mid elevational habitats.

Corridors connecting southern to northern (or low to high elevation) populations will likely play a more important role in facilitating migration of individuals and adapted genes in the face of warming climates than east west corridors.

Haplotype B at locus nad1 intron B/C was observed mostly in the Iberian Peninsula in some high elevation populations of the Zaragoza/Valencia regions where it was fixed or nearly fixed.

For example, in the case of mountain species, low-elevation populations may possess unique genetic variation associated with adaptation to higher temperature; if present, such adaptations might provide insight into the ability of high elevation populations to adapt in response to climate change.

This protracted bottleneck would result in low elevation populations that are genetically similar to high elevation populations, but that have reduced allelic diversity and possibly an excess of heterozygosity, since the rare alleles that are lost affect the predicted heterozygosity values but not the observed values [ 21].
