Sentence examples for more recent divergence from inspiring English sources
Observed patterns of polymorphism support the more recent divergence time estimated by ABC: SH either diverged from indica concurrent with its establishment in the U.S. (maximum of 400 ybp), or within 1000 ybp (Table 5).
A phylogeny based on isozyme electrophoresis of 55 loci of the Australian Rattus species, together with R. norvegicus and R. rattus as outgroups, [ 14] showed similarities with the phenogram of Taylor et al. [ 13] with R. lutreolus diverging early, followed by R. tunneyi and lastly a more recent divergence of a clade containing R. sordidus, Rattus colletti and R. villosissimus.
More recent divergence implies closer relationship: we are more closely related to chimps than to lemurs.
Rubin's team calculated that the most recent common ancestor of the two human species lived about 700,000 years ago, whereas Green's analysis of 1 million bases found a more recent divergence time, about 465,000 to 569,000 years ago.
Yet new calibration methods may reconcile the discrepancies between the molecular clock and the fossil record, favoring more recent divergence dates.
The more recent divergence of the A and B branch from a common ancestor occurred approximately 8,746 to 17,493 ybp.
In contrast, genetic divergence among O. suteri populations was extremely limited and indicative of more recent divergences during the Pleistocene.
In contrast, some of the most successful examples of phylogenetic footprinting involve more recent divergences (e.g. Drosophila spp. [73], Saccharomyces spp. [74] [75], grasses [76], and primates [77]).
First, only the relationship between three species is considered; however, as more and more recent divergences become resolved, many phylogenetic problems of central interest increasingly reduce to resolution of the relationship between three or a small number of deeply divergent groups.
Plastome sequences also provide valuable nucleotide data that can be used in studies of ancient and more recent divergences.
In comparison with the mitochondrial tree, the tree based on nuclear data resolved the more recent divergences poorly.
