Denominations must confront crucial questions that enable leaders to clarify mission, vision and strategies and thus become willing to lead adaptive changes within institutions.
The "less-is-more" hypothesis of Olson [45] posits that loss of gene function during hominoid evolution may in some cases have conferred a fitness benefit and led to adaptive evolution that may help explain differences among primates [46].
The abundant miRNA seeds generated by seed shifting and point mutation in this family indicate that the emergence of novel miRNAs may have led to adaptive functional diversification.
Such a comparison would be required to determine whether evolutionary history might have led to adaptive differences between the clades that affect their ability to colonize novel environments.
Some parasites have nevertheless managed to colonize recently-evolved gall types, and this has apparently led to adaptive speciation in several enemy groups.
The possibility that the lack of SOD1 might have led to adaptive changes in the contents of other SOD enzymes was examined by analysis of gastrocnemius muscles.
However, whether the changes of gland size and composition of secretions led to adaptive regulation of feather bacteria require further experiments.
Nonetheless, backcrossing with both ecologically divergent parental species was not a rare event in the hybrid zones, and it may lead to adaptive introgression by transferring adaptive traits at species boundaries with environmental selection [ 12, 13, 15].
Local adaptation not only leads to adaptive divergence between populations, but may also drive the process of speciation, i.e., ecological speciation [ 2, 3].
Social learning can often lead to adaptive behaviors, but social cues are sometimes misleading (purposefully or not) which leads to non-adaptive behaviors (Boyd and Richerson 1985; Richerson and Boyd 2005).
These assessments are expected to lead to adaptive measures.
