Surprisingly, we found no distinctive clade-specific features or large scale trends, with the exception of the rather straightforward observation that the larger metazoan genomes typically tend to harbour large numbers of tDNAs.
Large-scale trends of peptide dissociation from different fragmentation methods have also been reported.
Large scale trends are important geological features that should be accounted for in geostatistical characterization of uncertainty.
> While not the primary result of this study, the extraction output can be used to support analysis of some large-scale trends in PubMed.
In one study of teachers' practices, Marcelos and Nagem (2011) investigated whether or not 63 Brazilian teachers used Darwin's 'tree of life' analogy to teach the concepts of speciation and large-scale trends in evolution.
Macroevolution - tracking large-scale trends in species over a relatively long period of time (for example, millions of years).
Moreover, it would be helpful for teachers to understand how large-scale trends in evolution (macroevolution) represent the culmination of evolutionary processes (microevolution) over time.
American mathematicians, led by the chair of Dartmouth College mathematics department Professor Daniel Rockmore, set out to investigate "large-scale" trends in literary style.
The third is that large-scale trends may often consist of both driven and passive components, in some cases depending on the taxonomic and/or historical scale at which they are being observed (Fig. 7; McShea 1994, 2001; Trammer and Kaim 1999; Carroll 2001; Wang 2001; Hone and Benton 2005).
Whereas some authors contend that large-scale trends are the end result of directional natural selection operating within species, others argue that differential speciation or extinction perhaps even constituting a form of "species selection"—are more important.
In other words, large-scale trends can be nonadaptive side effects of small-scale, adaptive processes.
