In collaboration with Robert R . Sokal, he pioneered the statistical comparison of patterns of genetic and linguistic variation, showing that language differences may contribute to reproductive isolation, and hence promote genetic divergence between populations.

The genetic divergence between olinguitos and other olingos makes olinguitos a sister lineage to the rest of the genus, and is equivalent to differences between species which have been assigned to separate subgenera or genera.
43.
Similar genetic divergences between the sea lion clades as well as between the major Arctocephalus fur seal clades, suggest that these groups underwent periods of rapid radiation at about the time they diverged from each other.

Hershler & Liu ( 2011 ) also analyzed previously published molecular data to evaluate the genetic divergence and phylogenetic relationships of " Marstonia comalensis ", whose geographic range is broadly disjunct relative to other members of the genus.
45.
A 1987 analysis of genetic divergence amongst the scads and horse mackerels using isozyme electrophoresis indicated the species was most closely related to " Selar ", forming a monophyletic clade with " Trachurus ", but being more distant from " Decapterus ".
46.
Due to the recently discovered genetic divergence of both " E . p . olivina " and " E . p . davidwillardi " from the nominate subspecies, some authorities now consider them to be a separate species, the "'tepui elaenia " '.
47.
"Because of the larger genetic divergence from other Sumatran rhinoceroses, " they said, " the ideal situation would be to maintain this lineage as a separate management unit " rather than crossing the Bornean animals with those from the Malay peninsula and Sumatra.
48.
However, a genomic study published during 2015 found that all African taxa previously assigned to " C . aureus " are more closely related to the grey wolf than they are to the other golden jackal subspecies, with a genetic divergence of around 6.7 %.
49.
It would be difficult indeed to account for it, and we merely accept the facts as they are . " In 2004, a research study compared the DNA sequences of both populations and used a combination of molecular phylogenetics and molecular clock calculations to estimate the extent of genetic divergence.
50.
The research was able to create phylogenetic trees tracking the genetic divergence of " Cicer " species, and the data indicate the rapid species differentiation of Monocicer including adaptation to the disturbed environment, showing much distance between annual species ( " Monocicer " ) and perennial species of " Cicer ".
