In this case heterochrony leads to spurious signal of star scenarios such as population expansion possibly after a strong bottleneck, the recent spread of a tightly linked advantageous mutation, or complex population structure schemes (e.g. a collection of small samples from a substantial number of isolated populations).
Again, heterochrony leads to an excess of rare variants providing spurious support for star scenarios (Fig. 5; negative Tajima's D and Fu and Li's D*, a deficit of linkage disequilibrium), with virtually no effect on tree symmetry (HFW) or the Pearson recombination test.
"Just as importantly as what the magazine will do, there are some important things it will never do: it will never publish unflattering paparazzi shots of celebrities looking their worst, never invent spurious stories about stars' relationships and never cynically exploit women's body anxieties".
BOGUS: counterfeit, spurious, sham.
For readers, these experts offer the promise, however spurious, of hidden truths that the stars would not normally impart.
The English actress Sheila Gish became a particularly aggrieved enemy in 1983, when Maria, acting with an authority that was spurious, tried to stop her from starring in a production of "Streetcar" at the Greenwich Theatre, in London.
This star pattern is a typical (spurious) signal of for instance population expansion, possibly after a strong bottleneck.
If this seems spurious, then consider that a modest two-star hotel in a major European city can run around 95 to 120 Euros.
Like most astronomers of his day, Galileo did not recognise that the apparent sizes of stars that he measured were spurious, caused by diffraction and atmospheric distortion (see seeing disk or Airy disk), and did not represent the true sizes of stars.
Over the past week, three government ministers have resigned following the arrests of their sons in a large scale corruption case, dozens of high-ranking police officers have been removed from their posts in spurious circumstances and a sex tape allegedly starring Numan Kurtulmuş – Erdogan's deputy – has been leaked on YouTube.
