Sentence examples for patchy species from inspiring English sources

Since range maps are known to overestimate range size by over interpolating patchy species distributions [38], range map derived diversity should provide an upper-bound on diversity estimates.

Overall, the pattern of patchy species distribution described in this section coupled with up to 99% sequence identity between MJ1 elements in Aedes and Anopheles mosquito species strongly suggests a recent horizontal transfer event.

Phoenix pusilla ameliorated abiotic stresses present in open ground to create a patchy species-rich mosaic.

Under the one model (the "soft vicariance" model), speciations in peripheral archipelagoes result from a large widespread patchy ancestral species range connected by long distance gene flow that is eventually interrupted by oceanographic changes in temperature, sea level and/or currents [ 10- 12] which leads to peripheral isolation and endemism.

In a patchy landscape, specialist species that are limited to particular elements are expected to show low gene diversity, low connectivity and high differentiation among patches.

Second, there is no clear ecological reason why nociception should be present in a patchy pattern across species.

These include patchy distributions of species within and between classes, especially for rare, locally endemic, and threatened taxa; the frequent absence of large compositional changes at mapped boundaries, and lack of information on important areas such as drought refugia and breeding sites that occur at finer spatial scales [16], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25].

Our results showed that they were patchy distributions in species (fig. 5).

The patchy distribution among species and strains suggest extensive divergence and/or loss of elements homologous to TvMULEs among Trichomonads.

High similarities between protein sequences in distantly related species, patchy distribution or phylogenetic incongruence indicate potential horizontal transmission of a gene [ 34].

While habitat quality can be patchy throughout a species range, in general it is thought to decline towards range limits (Sexton et al., 2009).
