Sentence examples for evolution in the wild from inspiring English sources

I usually like to add the phrase "in an economic context"—as most evolution in the wild concerns the anatomies and physiologies enabling organisms to obtain and utilize energy sources that in turn help them to stay alive and reproduce: things like the prehensile tails of South American monkeys, the fangs of tigers or the large thinking brains and opposable thumbs of human beings.

Very little is known about their ecology and evolution in the wild, but interest in this natural history is growing.

Despite their low statistical significance, the estimates presented in this and other quantitative genetic studies on lifetime fitness (Table 1) provide our best understanding of processes that are key to understanding evolution in the wild.

Experimental evolution in the wild provides another compelling option.

Moreover, attempts to predict evolution in the wild have frequently failed.

Together, these complex trait and locus interactions will determine the trajectory of and constraints on adaptive evolution in the wild.

Still, this evolution-in-the-wild study has fired the imaginations of other biologists.

For example, the ability of the wild host to disperse was fixed but the spatial scale of dispersal of both the host and the pathogen directly influence disease dynamics and plant pathogen co-evolution in the wild metapopulation.

Indeed, transposon-related polymorphisms are at the origin of an important fraction of variability relevant to plant genome evolution both in the wild and for breeding [ 6, 7], and have strongly affected human evolution [ 8].

There is little doubt that Darwin considered the process by which animals and plants are domesticated (artificial selection) as a useful analogy for the mechanism by which adaptive evolution occurs in the wild (natural selection).

Although the evolutionary population biology of C. intestinalis is still scarce, short generation time, strong genetics and genomics, mode of reproduction, closely related sub-populations with high rates of genetic variance, and ways of retaining frozen stocks of genetic lines make this species a model with a future in evolution studies in the wild.
