Sentence examples for mixed breeding systems from inspiring English sources

Thus, organisms with mixed breeding systems such as cyclic parthenogens (cladocerans, rotifers, aphids etc).

Mixed breeding systems with extended clonal phases and weak sexual recruitment are widespread in nature but often thought to impede the formation of discrete evolutionary clusters.

Our study and the recent evidence from other systems challenge the proposals that organisms with mixed breeding systems suffer a reduced speciation potential.

Finally, experimental results indicate that animals with mixed breeding systems suffer a reduced rate of adaptation compared to those with obligate outcrossing [7].

In these mixed breeding systems recombination might be sufficient to prevent clonal selective sweeps but insufficient to homogenize populations by gene flow [2], [6].

Mixed breeding systems might also promote the formation (sexual phase) and stabilization (clonal phase) of hybrid products, further blurring the boundaries of evolutionary clusters.

Despite their young age and mixed breeding system, D. parvula and D. retrocurva exhibit significant ecological and genetic divergence that is coincident with the formation of deep temperate glacial lakes.

We analysed a diploid population model with a mixed breeding system that includes panmixia and apomixis.

Our results support postglacial genetic divergence between D. parvula and D. retrocurva despite a mixed breeding system and high dispersal.

The present study suggests a role for predation in facilitating habitat isolation in young sister species with a mixed breeding system.

Both species typically have a mixed breeding system with relatively infrequent sex [ 42, 44, 45, 47] and illustrate strong dispersal capabilities [ 47, 64, 73].
