Sentence examples for evolution of the extant from inspiring English sources

A number of hypotheses have been proposed regarding the timing of evolution of the extant pigmented heterokonts.

However, as mentioned above, putative xanthophyte fossils dating from ∼1000 Ma [16], [19], [20], [21] would suggest that the present investigation underestimated the time of the evolution of the extant Xanthophyceae by more than half a billion years.

Genetic and functional analyses of SPC-P1 may facilitate the study of pathogenic evolution of the extant typhoid agents, providing particular help in elucidating the pathogenic determinants of the typhoid agents.

The recent sequencing of the Brachypodium genome [ 6] revealed a whole-genome paleo-duplication in Brachypodium chromosomes, whilst comparisons of the Brachypodium, rice and sorghum genome sequences revealed orthologous relationships that were consistent with the evolution of the extant Brachypodium genome from an ancestral genome containing five chromosomes.

Together with other SIRH genes, PEG10, PEG11/RTL1 and SIRH3-11, is is probable that the sushi-ichi-like retrotransposons were once active and retrotransposed around the time of the divergence between marsupials and eutherians, contributing to the evolution of both the extant eutherian and marsupial mammals.

Another corollary of the anagenesis-cladogenesis association predicted by the punctualistic models of evolution is that the extant representatives of ancient phylogenetic tree branches that have sustained a lower number of speciation events should bear more plesiomorphic characters than representatives of apical branches of the phylogenetic tree.

Rather than exploring the evolution of an extant fashion house, this means Unlaced can be a true retrospective.

Meanwhile, the newly described fossil species contributes to our understanding of the evolution of extant Buxus.

Physicist Emory Bunn (2009) shows that the evolution of extant complex life is compatible with the second law of thermodynamics as long as the time required for life to evolve on Earth is at least ∼107 s or 116 days.

Contrary to the dramatic niche shift early in the evolution of Hypericum most extant species occur in temperate climates including high elevations in the tropics.

The ubiquitous loss of these important genes in the phospholipid pathway prior to the evolution of extant eubartonellae certainly suggests that bartonellae had an early intracellular beginning.
