Sentence examples for minimum gene flow from inspiring English sources
If this is indeed the case, our results reflect the minimum gene flow network.
Ecological and physical conditions that occur with depth have been invoked as isolating mechanisms leading to speciation in marine invertebrates such as amphipods [35] and the dynamics of fluctuating oxygen-minimum zones may also act as barriers to gene flow in the deep-sea resulting both in genetic divergence and ultimately speciation [36].
Therefore, the extent and patterns of gene flow detected here likely represent a minimum estimate and additional work is needed incorporating extensive sampling of individuals with known geographic provenance.
The pattern of gene flow was best described by negative exponential models, and the minimum isolation distance for a 0.01% gene flow threshold was predicted to be 69 m and 109 m away from the pollen source at the two sites.
In order to verify these results we used the approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) approach [38] to test whether a closed single-population-bottleneck model (no gene flow), an open population-bottleneck model (gene flow following the period of minimum population size) or a constant-population-size model provided the best fit for our data.
"This shows that corridors, yes, do maintain some gene flow".
The forces of natural selection, mutations, genetic drift and gene flow can change the relative frequencies of genes over time.
So there is interbreeding and gene flow among the populations and, thus, some overlap of loci.
Dr. Ellstrand, an expert on gene flow in plants, said that foreign genes put into crops had escaped into the wild in other cases abroad.
References for gene flow and transgenic crops.
