Sentence examples for speciation potential from inspiring English sources

Gene flow estimation is essential for characterizing local adaptation, speciation potential and connectivity among threatened populations.

The late Ernst Mayr, a famous Harvard University evolutionary biologist, was the first to notice the speciation potential of flycatcher birds in the South Pacific's Solomon Islands.

Our study and the recent evidence from other systems challenge the proposals that organisms with mixed breeding systems suffer a reduced speciation potential.

The lack of major radiation of the herring of Tanganyika may be due to intrinsic differences between herring and cichlid fishes which influence their speciation potential [33] or may be related to the different habitats inhabited by these species.

If mixed breeding systems lead to weak speciation potentials, then macroevolutionary processes would likely replace such lineages with strictly sexual lineages [65].

Given the emphasis on wing color pattern in Heliconius speciation, a potential case of cryptic speciation would be of considerable interest.

The tendency to consider potential speciation mechanisms in isolation is perhaps understandable, but neither the assumptions nor the results of 'single factor' speciation models should be considered representative for the origin of species in the real world.

Using phylogenetic data to study speciation requires that potential limitations be kept in mind.

Such loci might act as drivers of population divergence and could be important for the potential speciation process.
