Examples of sympatry
sympatry
Partial sympatry in these whales is not, therefore, not the result of speciation.
From the en.wikipedia.org
In areas of recent sympatry, magpies rejected comparatively fewer cuckoo eggs.
From the en.wikipedia.org
An alternative explanation for species discrimination in sympatry is differential fusion.
From the en.wikipedia.org
European-steppe polecat hybrids are very rare, despite their sympatry in several areas.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Sympatry has been increasingly evidenced in current research.
From the en.wikipedia.org
However, the duration of their sympatry varies with location.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Therefore it is affected more by food availability than by niche partitioning where sympatry occurs.
From the en.wikipedia.org
As such, researchers have long debated the conditions under which sympatry truly applies, especially with respect to parasitism.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Yet despite separation by geographical barriers or by niche differentiation in sympatry, occasionally hybridization can occur.
From the en.wikipedia.org
- The occurrence of organisms in overlapping geographical areas, but without interbreeding
- (sympatric) (of biological species or speciation) occurring in the same or overlapping geographical areas
- In evolutionary biology and biogeography, sympatric and sympatry are terms referring to organisms whose ranges overlap or are even identical, so that they occur together at least in some places. If these organisms are closely related (e.g. ...
- (sympatric) closely related species which occur within the same geographic area; overlapping in distribution
- (sympatric) sim-PAT-rick/ Of two populations: Occupying overlapping geographic regions.
- (SYMPATRIC) Taxa (most commonly species) occurring in the same region or area. In the case of related species (as in this case, Cattleya species) varied degrees of hybridizing can be usually found.
- (Sympatric) Sharing the same range.
- (Sympatric) Two or more groups, species, etc., that have overlapping ranges and occupy the same geographic location.
- (Sympatric) literally, "same country"; refers to distribution areas of different species that overlap.
