Ecological speciation occurs when ecologically based, divergentselection causes the evolution of reproductive isolation.
2
The LH F2 resource population originated from noninbred lines of mice that had undergone divergentselection for heat loss.
3
Ecological character displacement occurs when competition imposes divergentselection on interacting species, causing divergence in traits associated with resource use.
4
Genetic drift and divergentselection are predicted to be strong on islands and both could drive population divergence and speciation.
5
In trial 2, divergentselection on the basis of Pharaoh quail BW decrease altered IMC crosslinking, leading to variability in meat tenderness of Pharaoh quail.
6
Nonetheless, outlier tests identified 3.6-6.6% of loci as high FST outliers, suggesting that despite strong genetic drift, divergentselection contributes to population divergence.
