Owen's argument, discussed above, that the form of vertebrate limb cannot be explained by adaptation alone, is a powerful argument against a divine designer, and is often used today for that purpose.
This observation can be explained by adaptation of the transcriptional network and of signaling pathways to cell culture conditions.
Finally, also using MCMC methods, we analyzed whether the observed diversity could be explained by adaptation to local conditions or to host species.
This difference is often suggested to be explained by adaptation, but this has not yet been investigated in patients.
The subsequent decline in the number of turns would then be explained by adaptation to the low (zero) odorant concentration.
Our analysis revealed additional structural features of tCWCH2 besides the conserved tryptophans, which may be explained by adaptation of its role in mediating the inter-ZF interaction.
This fact can be explained by adaptation of the contralateral muscle, after 26 days, despite a previous temporal study revealed that adaptation was not finished after 30 days, when analyzed in masseter muscle, using a splint in unilateral rat [ 30].
These data suggest that BC xenografts maintain the overall genetic profile of the original tumors, with additional changes that could be explained by adaptation of tumor cells to the new host.
The differentiation of the main human C. pneumoniae lineage from both the indigenous and animal lineages could be explained by adaptation of these strains to selective and antigenic pressure as a result of extensive antibiotic treatment regimes [ 52].
Another finding that cannot be explained by adaptation alone is that equivalent current dipole (ECD) modelling reveals that the temporal source underlying the MMN is located more anterior than the source underlying the N1 (Hari et al., 1992; Tiitinen et al., 1993).
