Sentence examples for insular distribution from inspiring English sources

The catalogue was primarily based on literature, but I have no Geograpsus in the QM from northern Australia..My impression of Geograpsus is that it has a mostly insular distribution avoiding the continental land masses, rather like the many gecarcinids and Birgus.

Trochoidea geyeri (Soós 1926) is a land snail restricted to a patchy, insular distribution in Germany and France.

In the Eastern Atlantic species of the genus Chromis with insular distribution have shown a pronounced divergence from a number of areas of the African coast.

The species diversity in the subgenus Orcula was likely promoted by Miocene to Pliocene palaeogeographic events and the insular distribution of preferred limestone areas.

Although population genetic structure and geographic differentiation have been reported for many bird species with insular distributions, high vagility typically results in high levels of gene flow and thus little local differentiation among continental populations.

Moreover, many species have particular habitat requirements, which result in a patchy, insular habitat distribution [ 3].

Our results suggest that Argentine ants may reach their potential distribution in insular urban reserves rapidly, perhaps within 10 years, and that reserve size determines whether the reserve is likely to become fully invaded.

We examined the anatomical distribution of insular connections in humans by means of in vivo probabilistic tractography in order to compare the results with the evidence from tracer-injection studies in macaques.

To evaluate the topographic distribution of insular connectivity in relation to the results of LE, we considered all the target voxels where 50 or more tractography samples (calculated on the connectivity maps of each seed voxel for each subject separately) had been recorded in at least half of the participants.

Among the currently mapped regions, some are particularly relevant to the study of insular connectivity, because the topographical distribution of their projections in the insula is known from animal studies, and because they span a wide spectrum of cortical types.

In this work, we used in vivo probabilistic tractography [Behrens et al., 2003, 2007] on diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance images to investigate the connectivity distribution of the insular cortex, where we define "connectivity distribution" as the output of probabilistic fibre tracking (see Methods, section Probabilistic Tractography for further details).
