The phrase "and evolutionary variation in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing biological concepts, genetics, or changes in species over time.
Example: "The study focused on the role of natural selection and evolutionary variation in the adaptation of species to their environments."
Alternatives: "and genetic diversity in" or "and adaptive changes in".
On the other hand, the DAZ family genes exhibit a salient evolutionary variation in sex- and stage-specific expression.
Evolutionary variation in separate brain region sizes is high and this variation has been linked to ecology and mating behaviour (e.g. Barton and Harvey 2000; Devoogd et al. 1993; Gonzalez-Voyer and Kolm 2010; Iwaniuk and Nelson 2001; Kotrschal et al. 1998).
Phenoscape focuses on the ichthyological systematics literature to link evolutionary variation in fish morphology to the rich store of phenotype data from genetic studies in zebrafish [6].
Size-corrected measurements from the proximal half of the style (including style width in the transverse plane) were conserved across species, perhaps reflecting a general lack of evolutionary variation in tailshaker muscle attachment sites.
Comparative genomics offers a unique scientific approach that enables student exploration of the relationship between evolutionary variations in genomes and epidemiological outcomes.
Lemos et al. [ 4, 5] studied the effect of protein-protein interactions and protein length on evolutionary variation (variation among strains in a species).
These results provide fundamental insights needed for future studies of the genetics, biochemistry and evolutionary ecology of variation in Hsp expression and thermotolerance in natural populations.
Evolutionary variation of genes involved in plant metabolic pathways also has been reported.
We use these markers in our study but use the simple term nuclear orthologs because all low copy nuclear orthologous genes are similar, requiring about the same level of care concerning technical issues (e.g. PCR recombination) and are subjected to the same set of lineage-specific and hence variable evolutionary properties (variation in rates, degree of gene conversion, gene amplification or loss).
Establishing whether a species is closed- or open-ended is important to be able to interpret functional and evolutionary consequences of variation in repertoire size.
