Example sentences for: speciation

How can you use “speciation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Gavrilets provides an exhaustive analysis of the many models of sympatric speciation, and identifies some key issues that have been underemphasized.

  • To appreciate the landmark status of these books, consider what has happened in speciation studies since Mayr and Grant published theirs.

  • Gavrilets also identifies the cost of female choosiness as a critical issue: many models of sympatric speciation depend on the assumption that females always succeed in mating even if the male type they prefer is rare, so their choosiness has no cost.

  • These integrated studies are essential to the correct placement of reinforcement within the bigger context of speciation processes.

  • An additional problem with focusing on mtDNA (or any other molecular) divergence as a primary criterion for recognizing species is that it will lead us to overlook new or rapidly diverged species, such as might arise through divergent selection or polyploidy, and thus to conclude that speciation requires long-term isolation.
