How To Use Allopatric In A Sentence
-
In a previous series of laboratory trials, we examined the strength of premating and postmating barriers in an allopatric species pair of the endangered Sonoran topminnow, Poeciliopsis occidentalis and P. sonoriensis.
-
Some zoogeographic species consist of two or more related populations that are allopatric in distribution (geographically separate) and are inferred to be reproductively isolated from each other.
-
Patterns of diversity of beech in Europe are not complicated by the existence of interfertile species, except for the presence of an allopatric related beech species in Asia minor.
-
The two species have a largely allopatric altitudinal distribution on Hokkaido Island, Japan, proposed to be the result of temperature-mediated competition.
-
If most speciation is allopatric, what would we expect to see in terms of the fossil record?
-
Paul used this phenomenon known as allopatric speciation to explain the evolution of Hershey Kisses and Snow Caps, both with a similar shape but the latter with a sugar-covered top.
Boing Boing
-
This 'making' of new species is known as allopatric speciation and similar patterns are seen with cichlids in the great lakes of Africa.
Practical Fishkeeping
-
Thus, whereas the initial evolution of potential radial folds may have been allopatric, in this case there must have been substantial phyletic evolution following speciation that affected the global population.
-
Relatively large genetic distances between populations suggest long periods of isolation and allopatric speciation.
-
The process that von Buch described now goes by the label allopatric speciation.
The Song of The Dodo
-
For example, have allopatric populations of a parasitic species independently evolved egg or nestling mimicry of the same host species?

I have no competence to debate his scientific ideas - if speciation is mostly allopatric, or if it is sympatric, or something else, that is not a philosophical matter.
-
But the far more vital part of evolutionary theory (or "Darwinism", as the evangelicals call it, if any creationists are still reading) is the idea of allopatric speciation.
David Horton: Keep Evolution Out of Schools
-
If such isolated (termed allopatric) populations accumulate mutations over time, this might lead to the divergence of such populations from each other, and reproductive isolation might arise as a simple byproduct of these separate evolutionary histories.
Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium - Recent changes [en]
-
For example, have allopatric populations of a parasitic species independently evolved egg or nestling mimicry of the same host species?
-
Consequently, there is no need to invoke allopatric conditions to explain the patterns of variation seen in both the gall inducer and its inquiline beetle.
-
In the classic case of allopatric speciation, gene flow is eliminated completely because of a geographic barrier.
-
Biological species status is more complex, and application of the biological species concept to allopatric populations is problematic.
-
We assigned geographic areas using the distributions of allopatric and sympatric species as a guide: North America, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Greater Antilles.
-
Such barriers are some kind of geographic feature which isolates parts of populations, and leads to allopatric speciation.
