Sentence examples for driver in the evolution of from inspiring English sources

This suggests that beam plasticity has been a key driver in the evolution of echolocation, beyond simple orientation, for improved foraging success.

A new paradigm that gene exchange between species being a driver in the evolution of adaptation in Heliconius butterflies, has increased excitement in the field [ 1].

Sexual conflict is a central driver in the evolution of parental care (Trivers 1972, Parker 1979, Gross and Sargent 1985, Gross 2005) and has led to various antagonistic or cooperative behaviors between the sexes (Chapman et al. 2003).

Despite independent evolution and different means of sound generation and transmission, whales and bats adaptively change their FOV, suggesting that beamwidth flexibility has been an important driver in the evolution of echolocation for prey tracking.

However, evidence for substantial secondary losses of certain factors, for example Rab4, was also obtained, implicating secondary loss as a driver in the evolution of taxon-specific trafficking features together with emergence of novel functions in specific lineages [ 27].

Venomous snakes and large constrictors have been significant sources of human mortality throughout history (Greene 1997; Isbell 2009; Headland & Greene 2011), and snake detection has been posited as a major driver in the evolution of keen binocular color vision in primates (Isbell 2009).

Recent results indicate that specialism can be one of the main drivers in the evolution of network modularity (Espinosa-Soto and Wagner 2010).

If even a portion of the various instances of salticid mimicry in the Diptera, Homoptera, and those proposed here for the Microlepidoptera prove to be valid, then jumping spiders can be regarded as important drivers in the evolution of diurnal insect phenotypes and behaviors.

Here I suggest that domain expansion through shuffling, duplication, and changes in protein expression level are critical drivers in the evolution of cellular machines.

In this paper, we extend the evolutionary model so as to take into account gene duplications and losses, which are viewed as major drivers in the evolution of regulatory networks.

Both temperature and composition of the microbial community are considered important drivers in the evolution of the vertebrate immune system 5, 20– 22. Temperature strongly influences metabolic rates in poikilothermic organisms and low temperatures modulate the immune system so that adaptive parameters become weaker and innate parameters become stronger 5, 23.
