Lastly, some loci reflect selection in response to environmental gradients.

"The basic soil types, the environmental gradients, are still there, but the vegetation is not paying any attention to it."

A recent study found that the density of these respective glands can be correlated to environmental gradients.

These results suggest that the amount of investment in carnivorous features is an adaptation to the environmental gradients.

Measuring diffuse competition along an environmental gradient: Results from a shoreline plant community.

This environmental gradient ultimately results in genetically distinct sister species.

Like other homeotherms, man maintains a high and constant body temperature against the environmental gradient.

An environmental gradient is a gradual change in abiotic factors through space (or time).

Species abundances usually change along environmental gradients in a more or less predictive way.

At an ecotone, species abundances change relatively quickly compared to the environmental gradient.
