Sentence examples for higher level relationships from inspiring English sources

The aims of this paper are firstly to test the current phylogenetic hypotheses surrounding the higher level relationships among rodent families.

To date, a single publication [ 8] has addressed higher level relationships across major components of the Characiformes based on morphological data.

Many higher level relationships were supported by a few characters and were of poor quality leading to the labile topology among major clades.

It is remarkable that the phylogeny of Charadriiformes is so consistently and congruently recovered from a variety of loci, when in general, higher level relationships among Aves are notoriously difficult to resolve [ 35].

Thus, despite the fact that most species are separated by well supported branches with non-zero lengths (exceptions will be discussed below), higher level relationships among species remain unclear.

Note that the genes in a pathway in MSigDB do not necessarily interact physically with each other; thus the interactions identified here are not to be confused with physical interactions and they should be considered as higher level "relationships".

This result indicates that the frequency of gene rearrangements might still be too high to be useful for assessing higher-level relationships.

The analysis reveals that major disparities are rather common among the hypotheses regarding the higher-level relationships of platyrrhines.

She undertook the first family-level cladistic analysis of the palms, the first study to use molecular data to study higher-level relationships in the palms.

These results are not biased by the inclusion of characters that have little or no fossilization potential, such as embryonic development, behaviour, gene order and gene expression; higher-level relationships remained stable when only morphological characters were included (DS-VI, which deactivated those characters).

Conclusion: Taken together, the data presented provide a working hypothesis as to the phylogenetic placement of Anomalurus, underline the utility of mitochondrial sequences in the resolution of even relatively deep divergences and go some way to explaining the difficulty of conclusively resolving higher-level relationships within Glires with available data and methodologies.
