My best friend and I had often joked about the conflicting patterns of our personalities, as though the differences between us excused the friendship from the trivial spats that other friends routinely endured.
First, we introduced differential interocular delays between the presentations of the conflicting patterns.
A plausible explanation for the conflicting patterns of spatial structure is due to the distinct resolution capabilities associated with difference in per-locus sequence length.
The conflicting patterns between the nuclear and mitochondrial gene trees support Kim et al.'s hypothesis [ 16] that there were historical mitochondrial introgressions between P. nigromaculatus and P. plancyi.
Differences in the study populations, length of follow-up, sample sizes, frequency of events, study end points, and statistical adjustment for confounding may all have contributed to the conflicting patterns of association seen in earlier studies.
In the judgment-based choice task, on the other hand, increased proportion selecting difference was associated with an increase in the unidimensional difference (estimated using cumulative prospect theory), implying that the conflict pattern in the judgment-based choice was induced by the use of a compensatory process of trading off probability against payoff.
In the preferential choice task, increased proportion selecting difference was associated with a decrease in the difference in the payoff dimension, implying that the conflict pattern (in terms of the proportion selecting difference) in the preferential choice resulted from using a non-compensatory process without trading off probability against payoff.
Although long-distance over-water dispersal cannot be completely ruled out as the cause of these conflicting patterns, the life history, exceptional degree of allopatric divergences, and the non-random phylogeographic pattern of Ligia, argue against this kind of dispersal as the cause of this discordance.
However, by taking account of fluid dynamic interactions it is possible to reconcile these conflicting patterns, which should allow future work in this area to progress rapidly.
There is a clear indication of a repetitive conflicting pattern of tempos for making diagnosis.
