Sentence examples for may become genetically from inspiring English sources

Populations of polyphagous insects that feed on distinctive host plants may become genetically isolated (Martel et al. 2003; Machado et al. 2008), in a process leading to increased reproductive isolation (Dres and Mallet 2002).

Thus, captive and wild populations may become genetically divergent over time, and individuals raised in captivity for supplementation purposes may be less effective in contributing to the population's long-term viability than their wild-born counterparts (Fraser 2008; Jule et al. 2008; Laikre et al. 2010).

But the data also suggest that this population may have become genetically quite diverse during thousands of years of Beringian occupation.

However, traits that are highly plastic are unlikely to be subject to divergent selection and may not become genetically divergent from the source [36].

We further hypothesize that this enhancement of the α-adrenergic tone may have become genetically determined such that it will persist even in episodes of acute hypoxia in animals born and raised at sea level for several generations.

Nevo says that given enough time, the basalt mole rats may become so genetically distinct that they are no longer able to breed with chalk mole rats at all in other words, he thinks his results show sympatric speciation in action.

This fits with previous hypotheses (Willems et al. 2012; McNally et al. 2013) that novel, highly successful, clinical strains may arise through gene acquisition, but become genetically isolated and less prone to recombination once they have adopted their new life-style.

This may point to genetic and/or ecological isolation of E. faecium hospital isolates and fits with the previously proposed hypothesis that novel, highly invasive, E. faecium strains may arise through horizontal gene transfer, but once they have adopted their new lifestyle, they become genetically isolated from other bacteria and become less prone to recombination (Willems et al. 2012).

Populations that become genetically less and less alike (as a consequence, for example, of adaptation to different environments) may eventually be unable to interbreed because their gene pools are disharmonious.

By the mid-1800s, the scientists say, the two groups of flies had become genetically different.

The insects are unlikely to become genetically selected or physiologically resistance [42, 43].   2.
