Sentence examples for morphological divergence during from inspiring English sources

By combining traditional and new comparative approaches we have demonstrated how apparently non-convergent patterns of morphological diversity may mask parallel patterns of morphological divergence during adaptive radiation.

This model predicts a minimum of morphological divergence during intermediate embryonic stages.

Therefore, Hufford et al. [ 46] hypothesize that genes targeted by selection are more likely to be expressed in tissues that experienced high levels of morphological divergence during crop improvement.

In this context, the evidence for positive selection in the branch that represents the divergence of Poales DEF-like genes from the rest of the monocot genes suggests that during the morphological divergence of grasses a series of nonsynonymous substitutions took place before the emergence of the characteristic grass floret.

The development of chelicerae during ontogenesis revealed strong sex-specific morphological divergence: female chelicerae showed isometric increase with body size, while in contrast, male chelicerae showed significant allometric decrease.

Morphological divergence often increases with phylogenetic distance, thus making morphology taxonomically informative.

Our molecular data on P. caudatus reveal a conserved ecdysozoan gut-patterning program and demonstrates that extreme morphological divergence has not been accompanied by major molecular innovations in transcriptional regulators during digestive system evolution in the Ecdysozoa.

This not only suggests that the mechanisms of organ identity determination for second whorl organs were established early during the evolution of the angiosperms, but also that the subsequent morphological divergence in the grasses is probably associated with the lineage-specific substitutions in the K-domain that we detected.

Of course, morphological divergence isn't the same as speciation.

In explaining this separation of species, Rasmussen points to morphological divergence and significant differences in vocalization.

Adaptive divergence between populations in the face of strong selection on key traits can lead to morphological divergence between populations without concomitant divergence in neutral DNA.
