The results obtained for the timing of the xenarthran diversification by the relaxed molecular clock approach are recapitulated in Table 1.

Other relict groups are often inferred to have lost original niche space over time [ 108] or to have been hindered in further diversification by the radiation of more derived taxa [ 109].

Indeed, HGT gives a venue for bacterial diversification by the reassortment of existing capabilities [ 1] and this formidable sexual promiscuity has given bacteria a great advantage, providing an awesome mechanism for ongoing adaptive evolution, a sort of permanently and rapidly evolving communal genome [ 2].

I further investigated the sensitivity of the γ statistic to recent diversification by examining the consequences of failing to simulate the full time interval following the most recent cladogenic event.

An important feature of the proposed approach refers to the immigration strategy used to ensure diversification by which the level of evolution for the new immigrant individuals increases along with the evolution of the population.

A higher rate of molecular evolution may increase the rate of diversification by accelerating the formation of hybrid incompatibility, occurring through the accumulation of genetic incompatibilities between the genomes of the diverging populations [ 16].

In addition to the molecular phylogenetic analysis, we addressed the question of the timing of the ENC gene family diversification by investigating the conserved gene order between chicken genomic regions containing ENC1, -2, and -3.

The identification, in our ChIP-chip screen, of these genes as PARP3 targets therefore suggested that in zebrafish, Parp3 could participate in the specification of the neural plate border, neural crest formation and/or diversification by regulating the expression of these genes.

Finally, we explored the relationships between evolutionary patterns and functional diversification by combining the phylogenetic results with available literature for functions of plant Su var)3-9 SET genes; the results of our study would lay the foundation for the design of future experimental studies.

These modifications are thought to enable trophic diversification by allowing the pharyngeal jaws to take on enhanced functions in prey processing, freeing the oral jaws to become specialized for prey capture [ 15].
