Sentence examples for diversification of form from inspiring English sources
The subsequent diversification of form and function within and between the major groups waders, gulls, and auks—highlights the adaptive flexibility of the bird body.
During the Late Holocene, ground stone underwent a diversification of form and perhaps purpose.
We therefore hypothesize that developmental plasticity is required to cross a threshold of complexity that affords the degrees of freedom necessary for further diversification of form, and even after the assimilation of monomorphy this diversification can continue to be realized.
Thus, our analyses of evolutionary rates show that diversification of shape and form in Diplogastridae increased with the appearance of the mouth plasticity but were highest after its subsequent loss.
Diversification of floral form usually accompanies plant diversification by speciation.
More generally, phylogenies provide a unifying context across the life sciences for investigating the diversification of biological form and function from genotype to phenotype.
Interestingly, it appears that rapid pollen tube growth rate preceded the closed carpel and could have influenced diversification of carpel form and function (Williams 2008).
It has also been suggested that "enemy-free space" provided by novel host plants could promote host shifts by herbivores, and that parasitoids could similarly drive diversification of gall form in insects that induce galls on plants.
Because galler parasitoids have to penetrate a protective wall of modified plant tissue in order to gain access to their victims, Stone and Schönrogge [ 17] recently concluded that morphology-dependent parasitism remains the most plausible adaptive explanation for the diversification of gall form, but they also noted that the needed phylogenetic tests are lacking.
This structure suggests that the 48 bp was first duplicated two consecutive times, and then each of these units underwent some degree of diversification to form the 143 bp.
The Cenozoic witnessed a rapid diversification of life-forms in the ecological niches left vacant by this great terminal Cretaceous extinction (or K T extinction).
