Examples of colonization

• Juan de Oñate initiated the Spanish colonization of New Mexico in 1598.

• Asante was unable to prevent European colonization.

• Russian conquest and colonization of Siberia gathered force by the middle of the eighteenth century.

• Two contrasting dispersal models, one purely diffusive and one stratified, were then chosen to simulate colonization for the two contrasting initial genetic structures.

• Diversity may have been influenced by radiation subsequent to colonization, or by secondary radiations in contemporary host taxa.

• The influence of this mycorrhizal colonization observed under the semi-controlled environment here might be substantially modified in natural conditions.

• Estimating rates of local species extinction, colonization, and turnover in animal communities.

• This variation could be attributed to the extent of initial colonization of the dispersed population, followed by local differentiation.
