The scientists then used computers to search for an evolutionary tree that best accounted for their genetic data.
Much as he did in the bank's monthly committee meetings, he projected economic data on a screen and explained the narrative that he thought best accounted for what was happening in the British economy.
This evidence is best accounted for by supposing that the prolactin molecule has undergone evolutionary changes in its molecular structure and biological properties with respect to particular species and has also established specific adaptive relationships with target organs such as the crop and mammary glands.
Alterations in terrestrial life seem to be best accounted for by environmental factors, such as the consequences of seafloor spreading and continental drift, resulting in continental fragmentation, climatic deterioration, increased seasonality, and perhaps changes in the distributions and compositions of terrestrial communities.
Moreover, this reward-related topographical map was best accounted for by intracranial generators estimated in the posterior cingulate cortex.
Such anomalies are best accounted for to a great extent by the presence of igneous intrusive bodies of variable depth and occurring within the basement of sedimentary rocks.
The extent of terrestrial transport networks and the percentage of protected areas were the land-use variables that best accounted for the density of alien plants.
In successive analyses, one, two or three- factors models with Promin oblique rotation were carried out to identify which model best accounted for the scale.
It remains to be seen whether these are themselves best accounted for in a unified manner, or whether different theories must be offered for pure and impure indexicals.
At all temperatures, the isotherm data of the Fmoc-Trp enantiomers on the MIP were best accounted for by the Tri-Langmuir isotherm model, while the isotherm data of Fmoc-Trp on the NIP were best accounted for by the Bi-Langmuir isotherm model.
Creationists and intelligent design proponents in particular argue that the diversity of life on earth is best accounted for by the action of an intelligent force (See for example: Moreland 1994b).
