The phrase "a putative example" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to an example that is generally accepted or supposed to be true, but not necessarily proven.
Example: "In the study, the researchers presented a putative example of how climate change affects migration patterns."
Alternatives: "a presumed example" or "an alleged example".
This eye optically functions in a manner similar to the vertebrate eye, making the cephalopod eye a putative example of convergent evolution (Packard 1972).
Arguably, you can see that there is no dot in the empty one; this is a putative example of seeing that a dot is absent from the empty circle, once one is primed to see the absence by seeing the dotted circle next to the empty one.
The duplication of autosomal genes onto the Y chromosome may be an important element in the evolution of sexual dimorphism.A previous cytological study reported on a putative example of such a duplication event in a dioecious tribe of Silene (Caryophyllaceae): it was inferred that the Y-linked MADS-box gene AP3Y originated from a duplication of the reportedly autosomal orthologAP3A.
A putative example of such antagonistic activities might be cell proliferation and "stemness".
As a putative example of this, we detected a TA-flanked IES that aligns with TT-flanked macronuclear DNA sequences, within and across P. aurelia species (fig. 5).
Human hip-width is a putative example of sexual conflict over trait values, with wider hips favoured in females to accommodate child birth, but disfavoured in males because of mobility costs [ 13].
Searches for tRNAs in Amphidinium revealed a single putative example, which is present in both species.
When the word cropped up on William Safire's radar in 2006, he offered a line from "King Lear" as a putative early example: Goneril tells her father to "make use of that good wisdom, whereof I know you are fraught".
On a macroevolutionary level examples are scarce, but water striders (Gerridae) [18] and hermaphroditic snails [19] provide the only putative example of correlated characters involved in a sexual arms race.
Another putative example comes from Taylor (1952), which contains a diagram consisting of two circles, one with a dot in it, the other empty.
The only other putative example of island dwarfing in humans is that of the hobbits, dated from 18,000 to 95,000 years ago.
