Sentence examples for character acquisition from inspiring English sources

Fossils can offer unique insights by exposing the sequence of character acquisition in ancient evolutionary radiations.

The following discussion focuses on how these fossils inform on the sequence of character acquisition in the arthropod head and trunk limbs.

The fossil record of chordate evolution communicates a similar message: only after the evolution of the phosphatic skeleton in the lineage leading to gnathostomes do the fossils provide a reliable account of character acquisition.

Fossils break up long branches and help to resolve the sequence of character acquisition at several critical nodes in the arthropod tree, notably in a suite of Cambrian lobopodians that may include the stem groups of each of the major panarthropod lineages.

Identifying fossils like the fuxianhuiids as stem group arthropods serves to break up the branch between the arthropod crown group and extant outgroups such as Onychophora or even lower stem group arthropods such as Cambrian lobopodians and anomalocaridids (Fig. 3), and illuminates the sequence of character acquisition at the base of the Arthropoda.

Runcaria sheds new light on the sequence of character acquisition leading to the seed, having all the qualities of seed plants except for a solid seed coat and a system to guide the pollen to the seed.

BLI reporter systems are especially suitable for biomedical research purposes due to the extremely low background signal, high signal to noise ratio, non-invasive character, short acquisition time (seconds to minutes) and the possibility to measure more animals at once (high throughput).

We also examined the fit of the state:step data to two alternative hypotheses about character-state acquisition: (i) a rarefaction model of character state saturation, expected if there was a ceiling in the number of character states; and (ii) a power function relating new states to steps, expected if only taxa possessing extreme morphology give rise to descendants with derived character states.

This profile is targeted to show the extent of a company's activity in sourcing companies; the size, industry and country of origin of target companies; the character of acquisitions.

Given this background, we hypothesized that stromal cell cancer cell interactions have an important role in acquisition of the aggressive character by pancreatic cancer, and we examined signalling molecules that may be associated with this mechanism.

The tones are varied: some notes sound full, like a church organ; others sound like pizzicato violins; and, occasionally, they sound like the kind of sparkling musical cue that might greet a video-game character upon its acquisition of a new treasure.
