Sentence examples for adaptive progress from inspiring English sources

Without genetic variation, there can be no evolution, so a nonzero mutation rate is essential for adaptive progress in the face of a changing environment.

Consistent with previous studies (Bartl et al., 1994; Laird et al., 2000; Dishaw and Litman, 2009; Guo et al., 2009; Flajnik and Kasahara, 2010; Bajoghli et al., 2011; Hirano et al., 2011) this analysis indicates that the evolution of adaptive immunity progressed rapidly beginning with jawless vertebrates, with much of the genetic repertoire in place by the emergence of jawed vertebrates.
