The phrase "adaptation in the origin of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions related to evolutionary biology, ecology, or any context where the adaptation process is linked to the beginnings or development of a particular species or trait.
Example: "The study explores the role of adaptation in the origin of new species in isolated ecosystems."
Alternatives: "evolutionary changes in the emergence of" or "modifications in the development of".
This considerably strengthens the thesis that the large differences in DNA-handling enzymes of neomura, compared with eubacteria, were caused by rapid coevolutionary adaptation to the origin of histones in the neomuran cenancestor [ 1].
The results indicate that the accessions in each population are adapted, at least to some extent, to their environment, but do not reveal whether this adaptation was a factor in the origin of individual populations, or merely reflects the more recent evolution of landraces to the environments in which they are being grown.
Therefore, the polymorphism observed is due to a strong, divergent natural selection acting across the environmental gradient [ 14, 16, 17], making a perfect system to study the genes involved in the origin of adaptation and speciation processes.
Tandem repeat sequences could be in the origin of the phenotypic flexibility of pathogens, thus leading to better host adaptation [52].
He highlighted in the Origin of Species that the fit of a flower's nectar spur with the mouthparts of the pollinating insect could only have arisen through a series of coevolutionary adaptations and counter-adaptations (Darwin 1859).
Natural hybridization is ubiquitous in plants and has several evolutionary consequences including the origin and/or transfer of genetic adaptations, the origin of new ecotypes or species, and the reinforcement or break-down of reproductive barriers [ 1– 5].
This contrasts against the modern understanding of ecological theory where varieties are viewed as the real phenomena of interest and having a role in the origins of adaptations by means of natural selection.
The intercalation theory provides no adaptation-based scenario for the origin of the planktotrophic larvae.
He is interested in the origins of major adaptations, or how "great ideas" in evolution get started.
He suggests that high intellectual skills are a genetic adaptation that occurred only after the origin of settled societies in places such as Europe.
