Sentence examples for promoted divergence from inspiring English sources

In our experiment, at least, predation promoted divergence via competition.

To test if positive selection promoted divergence between genes, the codon substitution models that allow positive selection (M2a and M8) and that assumed nearly neutral selection (M1a and M7) were compared (M2a vs. M1a and M8 vs. M7; Table 1).

To test whether positive selection promoted divergence between genes, the codon substitution models that allow positive selection (M2a and M8) and that hypothesize nearly neutral selection (M1a and M7) were compared (M2a vs. M1a and M8 vs. M7; Table  4).

Although divergent natural selection promotes divergence, it does not always result in strong differentiation.

If this effect is powerful, integration may promote divergence rather than convergence: investment will move all the faster to areas that already have lots of capital.

The inability to make such a prediction is due in part to an inability to evaluate the relative roles of chance and necessity [5] in promoting divergence [6].

Contingency can promote divergence if a fitness landscape is complex, with multiple peaks and flat areas where chance can lead to sustained divergence among populations, since subsequent adaptation is contingent on the location of each population on the landscape.

In this scenario, although females with restricted migration would promote divergence of the mitochondrial genome, male-biased migration could facilitate the transport of nuclear genes across the barrier while simultaneously impeding phenotypic differentiation.

As stated above, the other HNWD genes are likely additional incompatibility genes whose interacting partners are unknown, so that incompatible interactions with het-c may not be the only interactions that promote divergence of the repeats.

These observations point towards a role for population isolation in promoting divergence, either by way of genetic drift, local ecological adaptation or other selection pressures such as sexual conflicts [7], [11], [12].

As a result, spatial variation in the nature of antagonistic coevolutionary interactions between hosts and parasites [26] could promote divergence in hosts' strategies of energy allocation toward adaptive and innate immune defenses [16] and lead to divergence in hosts' MHC genotypes [12].
