Our phylogenetic analyses did not allow us to establish whether such HT events occurred in the dothideomycete phylogeny, but multiple cases of patchy distribution of TE families do not contradict this hypothesis.
Tinea capitis should be suspected in any case of patchy hair loss when evidence of scalp inflammation exists, particularly in children.
Many cases of patchy distribution probably reflect combined effects of duplication, gene loss, HGT and other processes 80, 112, 113.
We show that the corridor tends to slow down the spread: it takes the alien population an extra time to penetrate through the corridor, and this delay time can be significant in the case of patchy spread.
In the case of patchy release, when the release area is either 1/16 or 1/4 of the total area, the release thresholds decrease as the migration probability increases (Fig. 3; gray lines).
Besides, ionospheric effects in InSAR usually have spatial scale of more than a hundred of kilometers (Kinoshita et al. 2013) and around 20 km with a patchy shape in cases of sporadic-E events (Maeda et al. 2016).
Tracer uptake pattern was considered patchy in case of distinct spots with high uptake in muscles.
In case of DIP, the diffuse or patchy areas of ground-glass opacity have lower lobe predominance and the scattered "lucencies" may or may not have true walls, either representing "true cysts" or else emphysema or traction bronchiectasis.
13– 15 This is further complicated by the strong expression of p16 (diffuse in 2 cases and patchy in 1 case).
