Interbreeding Intergeneric crosses of columbids in captivity are common, but in nature there is little evidence that even interspecific crosses occur.
Structural adaptations in thrashers (Mimidae: genus Toxostoma) with comments oninterspecific relationships.
Possibly this disparity in numbers is a result of interspecific competition.
Examination of a number of auditory ossicles of Baiomys reveals constant interspecific differences in the malleus and incus.
This correlation between size and number of teeth does not exist as an interspecific trend within the genus; for example, the smallest species in the genus, S.
Interspecific Relationships In attempting to understand the relationships of the species of Smilisca we have emphasized osteological characters.
In summarizing this discussion of the breeding calls of Smilisca we want to point out what seem to be important differences in the calls that may prevent interspecific hybridization in sympatric species of Smilisca.
Interspecific matings under laboratory conditions are not uncommon and several verbal reports of such matings under natural conditions have reached me.
Freedom from competition, especially interspecific strife, is an important factor in differentiation; this is especially true in the early period of colonization.
Interspecific competition may prevent considerable intermingling of breeding populations in Micronesia, or it may be that each species requires different ecologic conditions.
Interspecific Relationships Ptychohyla schmidtorum is thought to resemble more closely the parental stock of the genus than does any other species of Ptychohyla now extant.
The continual humid conditions and abundance of insect food throughout the year in the cloud forest are perhaps indicative of little interspecific competition among adults of Ptychohyla and other sympatric hylids.
Interspecific Competition At localities where two species of Ptychohyla occur sympatrically (P.
Consequently, interspecific competition among the various species of hylids whose tadpoles live in the torrential streams probably is highest during the larval stage.
San Marcos, Guatemala) effort was made to determine what, if any, ecological interspecific relationships existed.
As I have mentioned previously, ecological segregation and interspecific competition probably is highly developed in the tadpoles of Ptychohyla.
The interspecific relationships of the species in the Hyla microcephala group are not clear.
Furthermore, we have included ecological and distributional data in our synthesis ofinterspecific relationships.
The second author worked on the interspecific relationships and isolating mechanisms in Panama (Fouquette, 1960b) and later studied the species in southern Mexico.
This placement would further obviate interspecific conflict with the white-eye since its nests are placed centrally in the denser portions of a thicket.
The occurrence of these same displays as intrinsic behavioral elements of interspecifichostility suggests a common derivation.
This would seem to be the case in eastern Kansas, presuming that interspecific competition exists.
Interspecific Relationships A number of meetings between Bell Vireos and other species were observed in the course of the study (Table 4).
Interspecific and intraspecific competition may also be involved (Cox 1968).
Interfamilial Differences As shown above, there is a high degree of individual variation in the vessels being considered, while at the same time, fewinterspecific differences were noted within the families.
It is hazardous to define individual variation (and also interspecific differences, as discussed later) in the origin of one vessel by relating its location to other vessels, because these may likewise vary in origin.
In most of the vessels studied there is a high degree of individual variation, but few interspecific differences were noticed within either family.
If these three vessels are accepted as reference points, individual variants, as well as interspecific differences, can easily be described in the thoracic and coracoid arteries and in their various branches.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "interspecific" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
