In a way the program's evolution followed broader developments in Alarm's work.
This is consistent with the Xp11 and Xq28 regions being located near each other deep in evolution, followed by segmental duplication before divergence of amniotes and amphibians.
From this, it was surmised that an original sequence emerged at some point in evolution, followed by two duplication events to yield three such sequences.
Therefore, we suggest that, similarly to the ankle, pinniped skull morphology may have diverged out of a constrained region of morphospace occupied by fissipeds by diffusive evolution, followed by stronger selection in different directions within crown pinniped families.
The biology major is an interdepartmental major consisting of coursework in principles of biology, ecology, genetics, cell biology, and evolution, followed by upper-level courses in the students' areas of interest.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.06492.004 The restoration of phosphotriesterase activity in the reverse evolution followed a pattern similar to that observed for arylesterase activity in the forward evolution: increasing smoothly and gradually through the stepwise accumulation of mutations.
The criteria to define surgical site infection in patients' evolution followed the rules of the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention [2].
The theory of punctuated equilibrium states that evolutionary change is characterised by short periods of rapid evolution followed by longer periods of stasis in which no change occurs.
Background: This section consists of five lines praising the usefulness of metagenomics in studying virus evolution, followed by a few paragraphs, which resemble Results rather than the Introduction.
