Sentence examples for adaptive interpretation from inspiring English sources

In another showcase, some naturalized specimens described by Darwin (a Rhynchops nigra, an armadillo, and an iguana) were displayed along with panels reporting the original Darwinian explanation, to exemplify his adaptive interpretation.

This makes the adaptive interpretation of any changes in helping behaviour difficult (see [34]).

However, a caveat to an adaptive interpretation is that protein repeats frequently evolve concertedly via unequal crossing over (e.g. [34], [35], [36]), resulting in repeat homogenization within proteins and divergence among proteins that can be due to drift alone.

I would say that their results are consistent with such an adaptive interpretation but they do not prove it.

The authors should be careful with their phrasing, especially with regard to any putative adaptive interpretation of their findings.

Another is the fact that the selection leads to a single phenotype with a clear adaptive interpretation; many studies of experimental evolution have described the DNA bases of favored changes yet fail to connect them to a clear beneficial phenotype.

Our study complements these previous adaptive interpretations by revealing that height variation is low within populations.

Because the NT-MAT correlation is fundamental for both univariate and multivariate paleotemperature inference as widely practiced, this result impacts most paleotemperature proxies using leaf physiognomy, as well as prevailing adaptive interpretations of leaf-teeth with temperature [7,8,10,12, S1 S351].

We compared model parameters and fits of trait-MAT relationships between non-phylogenetic and phylogenetic generalized least squares (GLS and pGLS; [42]) to determine the effects of evolutionary history on the prevailing adaptive interpretations of leaf physiognomy MAT relationships.

Further, to determine the effects of evolutionary history on adaptive interpretations of leaf physiognomy temperature relationships, we compared non-phylogenetic and phylogenetic model parameters and fits of trait-temperature relationships.

Contrasting the results for these genes with analyses of neutral loci to detect demographic events will also be fundamental to disentangle demographic versus adaptive interpretations of tests for departure from the standard neutral equilibrium model.
