Sentence examples for shape diversification from inspiring English sources

Here, we show a similar pattern at the interspecific level, and describe how an intricate selective regime can shape diversification of a complex behaviour across species.

From the other analyses performed in this study, it is clear that evolutionary allometry is a significant but minor influence in mandibular shape diversification.

Here we investigated body shape diversification among six populations of P. vivipara along a predation gradient and its relationship with allometric trajectories within and among populations.

To our knowledge, very little quantitative data exists on adaptive allometry and on the ontogeny of shape diversification within zoological groups in general and fish clades especially [but see [ 1, 16, 17]].

Here we investigate body shape diversification among populations of P. vivipara which differ substantially in body size and inhabit lagoons varying in the presence of piscivorous fishes and salinity [ 27].

Furthermore, molecular evolutionary rates have also been correlated with diversification [ 5- 7], but given the multiple factors that shape diversification patterns, the generalization of this correlation is elusive, and therefore, the cause-effect between rates of genome evolution and cladogenesis remain largely unknown [ 2].

Annual fishes inhabit savannah pools and may be influenced by the same abiotic factors that shaped diversification of savannah tetrapods.

Thus, phylogeographic study of A. lugubris can provide insight into the processes that have shaped diversification of salamanders in the southern regions of California.

However, little is known about the evolutionary processes that shaped diversification in LCR Mastacembelus, their biogeographic origins, or when colonization of the LCR occurred.

Fluctuations in climate and increasing aridity over the past few million years are thought to have played an important role in shaping diversification of many African taxa [ 21, 32, 48].

Such a phylogeographic approach will help us to better understand the relative influence of oscillating sea-levels in shaping diversification across these islands, and also should provide a valuable framework upon which the ecological determinants of diversification within this group can be further explored.
