Sentence examples for islands harbour from inspiring English sources

Moreover, with increasing age, islands harbour more species-rich and complex plant communities.

Consequently, while it is acknowledged that oceanic islands harbour a disproportionally large fraction of the most critically endangered plant species in the world, we know next to nothing about how one of the most widely studied ecological patterns affects the regeneration and longer-term survival of these plants.

Islands harbour a disproportionate part of the worlds' biological diversity and are particularly rich in endemic and threatened species (Sax and Gaines 2008).

The Mascarene islands harbour stick insects from four traditional subfamilies and one taxon incertae sedis [ 22, 23], suggesting repeated transoceanic colonisations of the archipelago by unrelated phasmatodean lineages.

The Chagos islands harbour no endemic terrestrial flora, but perhaps three endemic subspecies of butterfly and one endemic species of moth (Barnett and Emms 1999: 243), and have also become an important haven for native fauna.

It contains the following detailed information: (i) Dnd phenotype; (ii) dnd gene clusters; (iii) genomic islands harbouring dnd genes; (iv) Dnd proteins and conserved domains.

The interplay between such processes result in these islands harbouring high endemism; 96 species of vertebrates in the Eastern Arc [4], over 200 species in the New Guinean montane habitats [5] and 22 100% of various taxa in the Mexican sky islands [6].

Co-transfers may also be responsible for the existence of "genomic islands" harbouring strain-specific genes [ 12]; however, these clusters may also correspond to regions in which horizontally transferred genes are integrated preferentially [ 8].

Due to the great diversity of the islands harbouring dnd operons, three representative islands from E. coli strains B7A, 55989 and KOEGE 118 belonging to different groups were selected for further investigation to determine the evolutionary forces driving the great variation between the dnd-encoding GIs.
