speciation - use in sentences

Converse of object

  • drive: My research focuses on how host specificity can drive speciation in Orobanche species native to the UK.
  • trace: In contrast, relatively little is known about the influence of phytoplankton on trace metal speciation in coastal waters.
  • investigate: We have previously investigated the speciation of concentrated Hg in sulfidic solutions at high pH at Daresbury Laboratory station 16.5.

Adjective modifier
