The phrase "applies to the evolution" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing how a certain concept, rule, or principle is relevant or pertinent to the process of evolution.
Example: "The theory of natural selection applies to the evolution of various species over time."
Alternatives: "is relevant to the evolution" or "pertains to the evolution".
Importantly, the same invasion principle applies to the evolution of established parasites, whenever mutants arise that overcome host immunity/resistance.
This result applies to the evolution of any organized social structure that depends upon the collaboration of many lower level units, each capable of independent replication.
Specifically, the question 'Why evolving two costly systems for a single task?' applies to the evolution of suicide in the presence of immunity, especially because suicide can be interpreted as a defense system with an infinite individual fitness cost.
This is because robustness to fluctuations in external inputs enables carotenoid elaboration by extending time available for its evolution (Fig. 3a and b) and this equally applies to the evolution of metabolic pathways (as documented in this study, Fig. 9), their enzymatic efficiency (e.g., [ 44]), or the time required for the evolution of species-specific feather protein binding [ 45, 46].
This work will likely apply to the evolution of other cancers as well.
Similar predictions apply to the evolution of sex and sex chromosomes, which strongly resemble the ZAL2m system.
A dynamic change in the threshold method is applied to the evolution of complex network, based on which, the dynamic average degree (DAD) is designed to characterize the local structure information of measured variable.
Various protein engineering methods have been applied to the evolution of increased thermostability, including the use of combinatorial design where a diverse library of proteins is generated and screened for variants with increased stability.
A splitting method is then applied to the evolution equations: their propagative part is solved using a standard TVD scheme for hyperbolic equations, whereas their diffusive part is solved exactly.
There is now an extensive literature describing the ecologies that render a system resistant to the evolution of cheating [7], [8], and those concepts apply to the evolution of cooperative cross-feeding.
