The decay scheme in which rhenium-187 is transformed to osmium-187 shows promise as a means of studying mantle crust evolution and the evolution of ore deposits.
Introduction to comparative vertebrate brain anatomy, neural development, and sensory-motor functions that are relevant to the study of human brain evolution and the evolution of uniquely human mental and behavioral capacities.
It's the age of Christopher Nolan, not to mention the two "Godfather" films, so it shouldn't take a Ph.D. in Alain Resnais to make sense of a series in flashback, especially because the series superimposes two time frames on each other — the characters' evolution, and the evolution of the series itself.
Virus metagenomics is a young research filed but it has already transformed our understanding of virus diversity and evolution, and illuminated at a new level the connections between virus evolution and the evolution and ecology of the hosts.
During his career, Spinrad set numerous galactic distance records as he used telescopes at UC's Lick Observatory in California, Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona and the Keck Observatory operated by UC and Caltech in Hawaii to peer farther and farther into space in search of galaxies that could offer clues to their evolution and the evolution of the universe.
Freedman has received many honors for her studies of galactic evolution and the evolution of stellar populations of galaxies, as well as for her leadership in bringing observational cosmology into the 21st century.
As Laubichler (2007) points out, "any future synthesis of evo devo will be conceptual rather than simply data driven…[and allow] the integration of developmental mechanisms into evolutionary explanations at a higher level of resolution than the current ideas about regulatory evolution and the evolution of the genetic toolkit suggest" (pp. 343, 359).
Working in other fields, de Camp wrote biographies of H.P. Lovecraft; a well-regarded study of the historic Scopes trial over the teaching of evolution; and "The Evolution of Naval Weapons," a textbook published by the U.S. government.
These views have historically hindered the understanding of mammalian evolution and the evolution of strepsirrhine traits, such as their reliance on smell (olfaction), characteristics of their skeletal anatomy, and their brain size, which is relatively small.
