The phrase 'evolutionary curve' is correct and usable in written English.
It is a useful phrase to describe a gradual process of change over time, often with a graph or chart. For example, you could say: "The evolutionary curve of the company's revenue shows steady growth over the past ten years."
Fond of blending genres (once, unforgettably and perhaps unforgivably, engineering a marriage between heavy metal and bossa nova), he was often just far enough ahead of pop music's evolutionary curve to have missed the big payoff.
One part of the solution lies in lessons from micro lending, which is further up the evolutionary curve, say development experts.
"It turns out that this gene is present in all species, but somewhere along the evolutionary curve it became silent in old-world primates and humans," says Elliot Leibowitz, chief executive of BioTransplant.
Interestingly, the changes for other two parameters (C4 and K sC) also do not significantly affect the system, and the observed evolutionary curves with different parameter values are almost totally overlapped with each other.
The other was highly conserved in humans and specific species where the evolutionary conservation curve exhibited a sigmoid pattern (see motifs B and C in Additional file 3A).
So I sat beside her, cross-legged with a sei whale rib arcing my lap, too, a piece of evolutionary work curved and honed, with a slight kink to it, and a club-like thickness at the end.
One was highly conserved in all species and its evolutionary conservation curves exhibited a relatively linear pattern.
Authors find that while the intraprotein domain-to-domain variability of evolutionary rates (black curve in Figure 5) is dramatically reduced compared to that of the same domains in different proteins (red curve in Figure 5), it still remains considerably broader than in the null-model (green curve in Figure 5).
The light curve and evolutionary status of the carbon star V Hya.
According to evolutionary psychology people prefer curved objects.
Results roughly fall along the same theoretical curve, which relates evolutionary rate to expression level.
