Also, previously observed massive gene losses during the rapid evolution and adaptation of urochordates to a specialized environment could be the reason for the missing C2H2 ZNF gene families in urochordates [ 21- 23].
These experimental results are concordant with our in silico analysis suggesting that transitin ATPase activity could have been lost during the rapid evolution of nestin C-terminal repeat domain in mammals.
For the mudstone floras at Westwater and Henrieville, the different floral composition may be due to rapid species evolution during the rise of angiosperms, the influence of climate in the mid-Cretaceous, the expression of high regional diversity of localities separated by 300 km, or a highly partitioned floodplain vegetation.
The long internal stems that separate them from the Nif proteins likewise reflect rapid quantum evolution during the origin of nitrogen fixation, and do not accurately indicate elapsed time; by the same argument as above, applying a simple clock to Nif half of the tree would give an absurd separation between Nifs and pigment reductases before the universe began.
Alternatively, the differences we observed in NiV P. vampyrus may be the result of rapid RNA virus evolution during the 7-year period between sampling of NiV P. vampyrus (2005) and sampling of the other isolates from Malaysia (1998 1999).
We thus hypothesize that rapid evolution of regulatory genes could have played an important role during the rapid adaptive diversification of bamboo from other grasses.
This present work applied the rapid quenching method to study microstructure evolution during the early stages in a rheocasting process.
When monitoring the activity of low light adapted cells under very HL conditions, we observed a rapid reduction of net oxygen evolution during the measurement, with no altered oxygen evolution rate in control light and comparable respiration rates.
Molecular adaptation in photosynthetic Rubisco enzyme represents the first known case of adaptation at the protein level during a recent adaptive radiation and reveals molecular bases of physiological and ecological evolution during rapid radiations in island endemics.
They have probably been important in the evolution of the extremely rapid wingbeat of some insects.
