Overall, our results suggest one plausible ecological role for the symbiotic relationships of holobiont organisms such as sponges based on the metabolism of ammonia in different archaeal strains.
This plausible ecological interaction suggests that further studies are needed in order to unravel the microbial ecology of the Socompa lake.
While the extreme upper intertidal distribution and stress tolerance of Atlantic P. canaliculata, makes accelerated selective ecological divergence a plausible explanation, it is unnecessary to invoke it if earlier openings of the Bering Strait occurred [ 20].
One alternative, reproductive character displacement, that is, the increase of isolation between taxa that are already good species (as opposed to reinforcement), seems less likely, given that all distinctive traits have a plausible ecological background.
However, even though rapid diversification driven by ecological evolution is plausible explanation considering the diversity of Caribbean habitats, niche saturation and island size may have imposed diversification limits [ 38] which could have restricted the diversity and geographical distribution of Calisto.
In addition to the diverse lines of evidence that are compatible with the inside-out theory, it is worth highlighting that the inside-out model involves a simple series of steps, each of which draws upon plausible ecological and selective drivers.
In spite of its prejudice in favour of a "prokaryote-to-eukaryote" transition, Jekely's interesting model [ 112] also emphasizes the importance of phagocytosis and proposes a plausible ecological context for the emergence of this property before the onset of endosymbiosis.
However, geographic and ecological isolation provides a plausible explanation for the limited genetic exchange between strains from trees and pigeons because mopane and other native trees are found in rural areas, but pigeons inhabit urban centers.
From an ecological perspective, LGC is more plausible than the conventional time series analysis, because an LGC only needs longitudinal data with more than three periods rather than a time series analysis, which requires a larger time series/more observations (e.g., time series of economic or climatic changes).
Additionally, this scenario may be plausible from an ecological viewpoint.
