The division of the major Scriptus and Sylvaticus groups (picture panel, Fig. 2) corresponded well with phenotype, showing marked (scriptus) and moderate (ornatus) white patterning in the phylogenetically basal haplogroups of both groups and a general loss of patterning in more derived forms.
The divergence of the Sylvaticus (2.7 Mya) and Scriptus (2.5 Mya) lineages coincides with this paeleoclimatic event, and the resulting loss of patterning in derived bushbuck haplogroups is indicative of the expansion and diversification of ancestral populations into more open habitats.
For example, loss of patterns involving TIL, C8, and VWD domains in nematodes correlate with fewer paralogs of VWF, MUC5A, and TECTA proteins, together with the absence or divergence of OTOG and MUC6 proteins in this lineage.
In particular, evolutionary geneticists would like to determine whether independent evolution of similar melanin patterns (or losses of patterns) involves genetic changes at the same gene or genes or whether a large menu of possible genetic avenues are available for pigment pattern evolution.
Old mice also exhibited a variable loss of normal HF triplet patterning relative to young controls (Fig. 1F).
In the case of infectious fasciitis, the PF is increased in volume with loss of fibrillar pattern and perifascial oedema and is hyperaemic on Doppler evaluation [40].
On ultrasound, plantar fasciitis presents with PF thickening (dashed line, 6.5 mm), a hypoechoic appearance and loss of fibrillar pattern (b).
Endoscopic activity of at least 2 (loss of vascular pattern and at least mucosal erosions) on the Mayo scale was also a necessary inclusion criterion.
A dose dependent significant delay in the loss of activity pattern was observed in the PD flies exposed to 25, 50, and 100 μM of curcumin and (b)).
A new dominant allele, leo tK3, leads to a complete loss of the pattern, suggesting a dominant negative impact on another component of gap junctions.
