Sentence examples for promotes divergence from inspiring English sources

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

The existence of such groups promotes divergence and, ultimately, the origin of evolutionary novelties.

The idea that character displacement, due to the foraging strategies of pollinators, promotes divergence in corolla-tube depth is related to two of the previously proposed hypotheses: that deep corollas evolve to promote flower constancy [20] and that they contribute to exclude unwanted visitors [13] [14].

I. Fluctuating environments promote divergence of replicate populations.

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.

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

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].
