Sentence examples for mode of species from inspiring English sources

If punctuated equilibrium were established conclusively to represent the exclusive mode of species formation in a clade and an accurate and complete phylogenetic tree were available for that clade that included all living and extinct species, then one could reasonably interpret the internal nodes as the points at which most morphological divergence took place among species.

There has been considerable debate about the origin of New Caledonia's tremendous biodiversity [ 9, 10] and molecular phylogenies of extant taxa have provided a useful window into the tempo and mode of species diversification [ 11, 12].

Clearly, further studies are required to better understand the genetic causes for diverse ecologically important trait changes in the context of the tempo and mode of species range expansion.

We used a diverse array of diversification statistics implemented in the programming language R (http://www.R-project.org, R Development Core Team 2012) to analyse the tempo and mode of species diversification in genus Cheirolophus.

Indeed, a better understanding of the tempo and mode of species responses to the Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles will likely aid predicting and managing ecosystem responses to present-day and future climate change [ 6].

Traditionally biogeographers and of these mainly zoogeographers such as William Diller Matthew, George Gaylord Simpson, and Philip J. Darlington, Jr. accepted a number of explanations for the modes of species distribution and differentiation that generally fell into a dispersalist view.

Herein we demonstrate the use of surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy for detection of characteristic vibration modes of species being grafted to the material either via radical (Meerwein arylation) or nucleophilic substitution pathway on copper foil.

Despite these examples, the high proportion of allopatric pairs of sister species in the Mantellidae as apparent from our analysis suggests that allopatric modes of species formation probably have played a predominant role in the diversification of these frogs.

There is a certain controversy on the phylogeography and speciation modes of species-groups with an Eastern Atlantic-Western Indian Ocean distribution, with previous studies suggesting that older events (Miocene) and/or more recent (Pleistocene) oceanographic processes could have influenced the phylogeny of marine taxa.

The phenolic OH bending mode of phenol species occurs at 1398 cm−1 (Coates 2000).

We also used a functional index (accounting for body mass, trophic level, and metabolic mode of the species sampled) to compare hedges.
