Our study illustrates the importance of considering long distance dispersal as a viable explanation for clades with pantropical distributions diversifying subsequent to the Oligocene, and it highlights the formation of the Indo-Australian Archipelago and associated fast-moving equatorial surface currents, suggesting an under-appreciated evolutionary link among tropical centers of endemism.
Other gene families known to have diversified by gene duplication subsequent to the protostome-deuterostome divergence include the myosin light chain family [84], and the ST8Sia family of sialyltransferases [85].
This ensured that for the subsequent diversifying selection analysis only reliable and well-conserved multiple alignments were used.
Taken at face value, however, these data are consistent with the prediction of escape and radiate coevolution and suggest that ecological opportunity created by a newly diversified plant lineage may be driving subsequent speciation in insect lineages.
Subsequent generations of artists further diversified — into warrior prints, mythic parodies and other genres — and they sometimes collaborated.
As for the tandem duplicated clusters with two genes, their expression patterns diversified significantly, indicative of substantial neofunctionalization during subsequent evolution processes.
Evolving from a common GPCR ancestor through the subsequent mutation of neighboring AA residues, GPCR binding cavities have diversified and acquired the ability of selectively recognizing specific ligands.
Snake venom has been hypothesized to have originated and diversified through a process that involves duplication of genes encoding body proteins with subsequent recruitment of the copy to the venom gland, where natural selection acts to develop or increase toxicity.
We hypothesize that MYB-related proteins initially diversified through three major expansions and domain shuffling, but remained relatively conserved throughout the subsequent plant evolution.
Since sections Repandae and Suaveolentes have diversified to form several species following polyploidization, characters were reconstructed for these sections separately to examine colour evolution subsequent to their origin.
