When an explosive radiation is accompanied by ecological adaptation (adaptive radiation), it often involves the evolution of novel characters (key innovation) [ 63, 65, 66].
These inversions are associated with population structure, conferring ecological adaptation and altering mosquito adaptive fitness [ 27, 58].
Introgressive hybridization may hasten speciation and allow rapid ecological adaptation of taxa, hence be one of the driving forces for the adaptive radiation of lemurs in Madagascar.
There are two explanations of why real species are species (see my microbial paper, 2007): ecological adaptation and reproductive reach.
That means that other variables like ecological adaptation may do less to set metabolic rate than some scientists believe.
Closure of the stomata is regarded an ecological adaptation to protect plants against pollution damage (Ciamporova and Mistrik 1993).
This rodent has also shown ecological adaptation to cold environments.
Our goal is to understand the roles of miRNAs in regulation of the nematode's ecological adaptation.
Serpentine soil mosaics are a classic context for ecological adaptation [1], [2].
We explored the roles of miRNAs in ecological adaptation of the pinewood nematode.
Moreover, the pinewood nematode has a widespread ecological adaptation, and an extensive distribution range [20], [28].
