How To Use speciation In A Sentence

  • The lasting contribution of the book is in its summary of avian distributions and natural history, not in the phylogenetic interpretation of speciation and biogeography.
  • 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
  • In particular, Muller anticipated that the antagonistic relationship between selection and recombination would be critical in models of sympatric speciation.
  • On average, nodes preceding gene duplications occur earlier in the phylogenetic trees than speciation nodes.
  • 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.
  • Analyses of the age distribution of duplicate genes in diverse flowering plants indicate that essentially all may be paleopolyploids, but this should not be equated with the polyploid speciation rate.
  • We are the product of a process of speciation, competition, and ecological change.
  • Relatively large genetic distances between populations suggest long periods of isolation and allopatric speciation.
  • The minimal definition of macroevolution is “evolution above the species level”, but it has become a catchall term encompassing everything from speciation to lineage-diversification and extinction dynamics to “evolution of ‘higher taxa’” ack! go read “down with phyla!” to vaguely defined “large” amounts of change to evo-devo changes in development. "Intraspecific macroevolution" within domestic dog breeds - The Panda's Thumb
  • These patterns are expected if multiple gene lineages persist in both species since the time of speciation.
