The phrase "a certain evolutionary" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a specific type or aspect of evolution in a general or abstract sense.
Example: "In the study of biology, a certain evolutionary process can lead to significant changes in species over time."
Alternatives: "a particular evolutionary" or "a specific evolutionary".
This belief in contagious magic may sound illogical, but it makes a certain evolutionary sense, Dr. Lastovicka said.
Cai and coworkers deduced that orphan genes evolve rapidly through accelerated base substitution rate; similarity to other genes cannot be traced after a certain evolutionary distance [3].
Many orphan genes demonstrate a higher evolving rate than non-orphan genes, changing so quickly that sequence similarity cannot be traced beyond a certain evolutionary distance.
[Author's Response] At a certain evolutionary stage.
Furthermore, the more genomes that are known in a certain evolutionary branch, the more is known of the branch characteristics.
Then the homology based identification approach (BLAST analysis against miRBase) provided further support that they were true miRNAs belonging to a certain evolutionary conserved miRNA family.
Nonetheless, an association between molecular interactions and regulatory modules obeys an certain evolutionary logic in avoiding potentially damaging mismatches in abundance between proteins that work together.
Constraints that bias a lineage towards certain evolutionary trajectories look like productive probabilistic causes, and avoid certain conceptual entanglements that face boundaries or limitations.
Such biases count as probabilistic causal influences since they change the probability of a lineage taking certain evolutionary trajectories (Hitchcock 2008).
These data suggest a universal role for the presence of the FERM domain during evolution and further imply an existence of certain evolutionary constraints on the changes of their amino acid residues.
Edelman argued that '… degeneracy implies a certain relaxation of constraint during development, opening certain evolutionary possibilities in a given set of phenotypes' and provides 'the necessary leeway for evolutionary changes that would otherwise lead to blind ends or lethality' [ 89].
