Sentence examples for morphological diversity we from inspiring English sources

To provide an independent test of gradient flattening and loss of morphological diversity, we measured museum specimens of A. virens from the late 1800's and early 1900's, before large-scale deforestation of the region following World War II [32].

To investigate the influence of the terrestrial-aquatic transition on morphological diversity, we tested evolutionary models on the carnivoran phylogeny.

We did, however, observe a positive correlation between FST and PST in our study and, overall, average FST and PST values were very similar (0.37 vs 0.39, respectively) which suggests a potential role of drift in driving some of the morphological diversity we have documented.

To evaluate the morphological diversity in yeast, we focused on two aspects: the standard deviation in each parameter and the population expansion in the orthogonal phenotypic space that was degenerated in dimension from high-dimensional morphological traits.

If balancing selection is also acting on sperm morphology, we might see high morphological diversity within populations (as shown here).

We assessed morphological diversity by means of variance.

By sampling much of the known range of morphological diversity within these two genera, we have included many of the lineages within the Thalassiosirales phylogeny where one might predict T. pseudonana to fall.

Thus, we can postulate that our quantitative measurements are representative of the morphological diversity of each clade and that we do not miss important variation because of the species lacking morphological data.

Conflicting selection may maintain genetic and morphological diversity in species [ 7], and we suggest that it may also drive the evolution of morphological and functional diversity within a clade.

We then analyzed the morphological diversity of each assemblage independently and compared their axes of diversification in the unconstrained global morphospace.

We then analyze patterns of morphological diversity for each assemblage independently and find that the assemblages are diversifying along common axes through the global morphospace.
