Sentence examples for recent divergences from inspiring English sources

In contrast, genetic divergence among O. suteri populations was extremely limited and indicative of more recent divergences during the Pleistocene.

Lastly, with much of the attention on species-tree analyses focused on the discord among loci arising from the coalescent, this work also highlights a previously overlooked key determinant of species-tree accuracy for recent divergences – the level of genetic variation at a locus, which has important implications for improving species-tree estimates in practice.

The method we proposed aims to obtain phylogenetic markers for the resolution of recent divergences, between cryptic species in complexes or within genera.

In contrast, some of the most successful examples of phylogenetic footprinting involve more recent divergences (e.g. Drosophila spp. [73], Saccharomyces spp. [74] [75], grasses [76], and primates [77]).

The identification of such "mutation hot-spot" regions was thus an attractive approach to get the maximum information for resolution in the case of recent divergences as those observed in species complexes.

Studies of recent divergences are particularly attractive because the signatures of such events have not been fully erased by time, and it can be more straightforward to infer process from patterns in genetic data [2].

Clearly this problem with modern tree ring data raises questions about older tree ring data – at least until the recent divergence from real temperatures is nailed down.

"The conservative finding is that solenodons, traditionally thought to be a recent divergence of a lineage of insectivores, are actually much more distantly related to that group than we expected," Dr. O'Brien said.

Dr. Braconi and other economists have been puzzling over the recent divergence in the results of the two surveys the Labor Department conducts each month.

More recent divergence implies closer relationship: we are more closely related to chimps than to lemurs.

In 2001, a study involving mitochondrial DNA suggested a very recent divergence between it and the Coquerel's sifaka, then considered a subspecies of the P. verreauxi group.
