In spite of their evolutionary success measured in numbers of species, lobelioids are ecologically vulnerable.
In spite of this evolutionary conservation and the high degree of relatedness, the present findings reveal differences in Mfd between the organisms.
In spite of no evolutionary history, the same type of association (mediated by semiochemicals) seems to be occurring in China with the exotic D. valens and the native H. parallelus in P. tabuliformis.
The results show that in spite of the evolutionary process of speciation, distantly related species may exhibit functional conservation owing to conservative pathways.
It is orthologous to the human polymerase γ, and in spite of the evolutionary distance, its domain structure and amino acid sequence are essentially conserved (Foury 1989; Ropp and Copeland 1996).
In spite of this, evolutionary biologists have to date largely treated the testis as a black box with a certain size, a matching resource demand and a resulting sperm output.
In spite of many applications of evolutionary algorithms in optimisation, theoretical results on the computation time and time complexity of evolutionary algorithms on different optimisation problems are relatively few.
In spite of the large evolutionary distance between insects and mammals, many aspects of Drosophila neurogenetics have been shown to be relevant to humans.
In spite of the short evolutionary distance between modern fruit trees and their wild progenitors, fundamental changes in the reproductive biology of trees can be discerned.
In spite of the high evolutionary conservation of several miRNAs, the role of miRNAs in lower taxa of vertebrates has not been studied with regard to metabolism.
