A particular source of this instability is the presence of gene families, which exhibited remarkable plasticity in the copy number by continuous lineage specific birth, death, and divergence of individual members or the entire clusters at every phylogenetic node (Fig. 7).

For both structural and non-structural sequences, the Indian Ocean isolates represent a homogenous clade within the India isolates, and form a continuous lineage; from the Asian cluster, through the Indian Ocean cluster, to the African cluster.

The brontotheres ("thunder beasts") or titanotheres (Fig. 6) were long portrayed by the paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn (1929) as a continuous gradual lineage that got larger and eventually developed huge paired battering-ram horns on their noses.
