Sentence examples for range of extinction from inspiring English sources

To ensure that our inferences were robust over a range of extinction rates, analyses were repeated under two values for the ratio of the extinction rate to the speciation rate: 0 (no extinction) and 0.95 (very high extinction rates).

Overall, positive selection for the removal of redundant sexual traits in newly established asexual lineages is likely to reduce standing genetic variation, which may make the population more susceptible to a range of extinction risks associated with fluctuating biotic and abiotic environments.

Parameter d is the rate of "dispersal" or range expansion, e is the rate of "extinction" or range contraction, and j is the relative weight of jump dispersal.

Based on the results of the extinction-speciation analysis we chose six area extinction rates (0.001, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 Myr-1) spanning the range of lineage extinction rates to explore the effect of different rates on biogeographic reconstructions.

While more narrowly ranging species have higher rates of extinction than widely ranging species, they also often exhibit higher rates of speciation.

Small mammal fauna changes occurred mostly due to shifts in species ranges, while large mammal fauna changes occurred as a result of both range shifts and of extinctions.

More than 160 species of sharks are categorized as at risk of extinction, ranging from near threatened to critically endangered.

As knowledge of the geographical ranges and relative risks of extinction in other freshwater taxa becomes available – notably freshwater molluscs, plants and odonates – it is feasible that this broad-scale pattern may change.

The bandgap information of samples 25 (2/2 nm) and 50 (1/1 nm) is not revealed in Fig. 7, because the linear part of the absorption edge exceeds the spectral range evolved from the spectra of extinction coefficient, which could lead to inaccurate results.
