Sentence examples for less gene flow from inspiring English sources
A larger FST value suggests the populations are more divergent from each other, which could reflect the effects of genetic drift or less gene flow among the populations.
The results of NRY and mtDNA haplogroup analyses complement the autosomal analyses by suggesting less gene flow from the agriculturalist expansion from Taiwan than has been previously claimed for ISEA populations [17].
Because of poor communication and transportation in past, Chaoshan and Fujian areas may have become a relatively closed society, with less gene flow with other populations, and because the EC high-risk HTMP is located in central China, this population may have had more opportunity to communicate with other Chinese Hans.
Less gene flow along the rainforest-savanna gradient in West than in Central Africa is opposite to what would be expected if the spatial proximity of forest and ecotone sites in West Africa was responsible for the observed morphological homogeneity there.
Here, we demonstrated that the late-flowering part of the weedy population was receiving less gene flow.
This study also supplied evidence that the Guatemalan Mayan groups appeared less genetically variable than their Yucatan counterparts, which supports the thesis that the Guatemalan Maya have experienced less gene flow than the Maya from the Mexican Peninsula [ 38].
One of the vital factors related with population differentiation is the geographical isolation; the greater the geographical distance between populations, the less chance of gene flow; thus, there should be more differentiation between them (Zhang and Kang 2005).
First, we measured actual selection, rather than simply phenotypic divergence, and the former might be less affected by gene flow [84].
Less commonly, increased gene flow has been considered in efforts to enhance the adaptive potential of populations facing environmental change.
Thus boundaries between older species pairs, which have accumulated more genetic differences, will likely exhibit greater genetic incompatibility and be less permeable to gene flow.
As a second hypothesis, we posit that lineages exhibiting MEP will be less dispersal-prone and therefore will be less able to maintain gene flow among populations (due to small body size equaling low dispersal capabilities), leading to increased rates of speciation.
