Generation and maintenance of such complexity require a diversity of evolutionary pressures (combination of mutation, selection, and drift).
In addition, his views of chance variations that arose during embryonic development, which produced what he called "hopeful monsters," suggested that new evolutionary genetic combinations could arise prior to their actual utility in a given environment.
The phenotypic characterization of the evolved lineages allowed us to identify a pattern of higher infectivity and virulence on host(s) present during experimental evolution, which indicates the existence of local adaptation in the majority of the host × evolutionary history combinations [ 24].

Using an evolutionary model in combination with a tree that correctly represents the phylogenetic distances between the used sequences is indeed advantageous when adding closely related sequences.
Previous studies of gene networks [ 24, 25] and RNA folding [ 29] have illustrated the prevalence in biological systems of evolutionary plasticity in combination with phenotypic neutrality [ 30].
For instance, evolutionary history, in combination with ecological heterogeneity, should shape taxonomic diversity of hosts and thus modulate the opportunity for parasites to exploit a wide or narrow breadth of hosts.
It is interesting that although the structure related features are actually derived from the evolutionary information, the combination of all these three classes of features could reach 0.66 Q3 accuracy.
Herein, using evolutionary data in combination with structural information of COX, we show that failing to discern the effects of interaction from other structural and functional effects can lead to deceptive conclusions such as the "optimizing hypothesis".
