Sentence examples for more distant populations from inspiring English sources

Morphologically more distant populations compete less than more similar forms (experiment 1).

(Ecologists have found that island populations close to continents are more easily replenished, while more distant populations more easily go extinct).

However, we did not find evidence for local adaptation: both within and between regions, growth of plants in their 'home soil' was not significantly larger relative to that in soil from other, more distant, populations.

It is conceivable that the more distant populations show a higher degree of differentiation [43], especially as the two regions are located in an area well known for its high rate of diversification and speciation along mountain ranges [44] [45].

Also, geographically more distant populations clustered together such as Tunisia, Morocco, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and Egypt as well as Ethiopia and Kenya, but also Senegal and Mauritania.

Lowland and upland ecotypes were found to be less similar, even from nearby populations, than were more distant populations with similar growth environments.

Isolation by distance (IBD, [ 54]) has been assessed by plotting the genetic distance among population pairs as a function of the geographic distance between those pairs to check whether more distant population pairs are more different genetically, providing information on the genetic structure of the populations and [ 55].

Here, we present long-term results for a free-living population of barn swallows, Hirundo rustica, demonstrating the presence of 11 morphological abnormalities in populations around Chernobyl, but much less frequently in an uncontaminated Ukrainian control population and three more distant control populations.

All indications therefore point to at least some gene flow between M and S sufficient to allow for adaptive gene flow and for neutral alleles to be more similar in frequency between local M and S populations than more geographically distant populations.
