Sentence examples for subtle divergence from inspiring English sources

Rather than imagining that speciation means turning lions into tigers, or bears into cows, or fish into humans, they will see that speciation involves a subtle divergence in the evolutionary trajectories taken by populations.

The mostly parallel pattern of Ds localization at or shortly after 24 hAPF generally correlates with both the MTs and core PCP polarity, although subtle divergence in the posterior suggests the possibility of other inputs that organize the MTs.

One may conclude that several common genes act in parallel to predispose to both disorders, but that there is subtle divergence in the molecular pathways leading to one or other disease, notably at the level of APOE.

We then genetically map craniofacial traits within the context of sex and locate several regions of the genome that contribute to variation in craniofacial shape that is relevant to sexual dimorphism within species and subtle divergence between closely related species, and possibly to craniofacial divergence in the Malawi radiation as a whole.

Visitors today remark on how unlike one town is from the next, on the marked differences in cuisine and dialect, and on the many subtle divergences that make Italy seem less a single nation than a collection of culturally related points in an uncommonly pleasing setting.

The relatively recent gene duplication and fixation events of these master genes suggest that the mechanisms of epigenetic regulation in reproduction may have subtle divergences among different vertebrates.

Moreover, a subtle upstream divergence of strath profiles may have been a consequence of an increase in uplift rate toward the head of the valley.

The high overlap in isotopic niches between fish spawning at different depths suggests that the subtle phenotypic divergence need not necessarily be reflected in a clear niche separation, at least if niche metrics integrate feeding behavior over several years and if isotopic separation of prey items between habitats remains unknown.

Differences in survival rates appear to be much stronger than the relatively subtle phenotypic divergence among Marianne River populations in shape (Hendry et al. 2006) and color (Millar et al. 2006; Weese et al. 2010) thought to reflect adaptation to divergent predation regimes.

To examine more subtle regulatory level divergence over several tissues, we analyzed expression data for gene pairs via a GLM in petal, leaf, and seed of G. raimondii (table 2 and fig. 5 A).

Since Branch models make the unrealistic assumption of among-site homogeneity, they often lack power to detect subtle patterns of divergence across phylogenies, and we conducted post-hoc Branch model analysis simply to help demonstrate our Clade model partitioning schemes (described below).
