Sentence examples for spatial relatedness from inspiring English sources

Stratification of global parasites has revealed spatial relatedness of parasite genotypes on different continents.

Multivariate analyses acknowledge spatial relatedness in whole-brain imaging datasets, offering greater sensitivity than conventional mass-univariate methods to detect spatially distributed effects [Norman et al., 2006].

A low level of dispersing immature lizards is also demonstrated by the spatial distribution of relatedness.

The impact of spatial structure and relatedness on the evolution of social interactions can be studied in microbial experimental systems [ 11- 14].

Further study is needed to explore this prediction in detail, since our model did not explicitly account for different lineages, and as such we do not know how spatial heterogeneities in relatedness might influence our results [ 100].

Evidence of significant skew in paternal contribution and the finding of a significant correlation between genetic similarity and reproductive success suggest that some form of post-copulatory sexual selection may occur in P. elegans (though spatial structure in relatedness combined with differential sperm transfer of more proximal neighbors could also produce the observed paternity bias).

The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is particularly well suited to test the effect of spatial structure and relatedness on the evolution of cooperation, because it has a complex asexual life cycle composed of a unicellular stage and a multicellular stage with clear altruism [ 15- 17].

These tests examine spatial patterns of genetic relatedness, and compare different models of distance.

No evidence for significant loss of genetic diversity was found, but results suggested fragmentation increased the spatial scale of movements, relatedness, genetic structure, and potentially affected sex-biased dispersal.

Dispersal patterns were inferred by examining the geographical structuring of relatedness using spatial autocorrelation analysis.

Previous attempts to control for phylogenetic relatedness and spatial autocorrelation have been problematic given a lack of targeted statistical development; however, the mixed-effects linear modelling approach offers some advantages here.
