Sentence examples for main evolutionary clades from inspiring English sources

Molecular analysis suggests that Liliaceae arose in Eurasia, around 68 million years ago during the late (Maastrichtian) Cretaceous to early (Paleocene) Paleogene eras with the development of two main evolutionary clades.

The three main evolutionary clades of the catalase (KatE) superfamily depicted in Fig. 1 were already defined in previous works [1,12,16] with Clade 2 comprising large subunit catalases (∼750 residues per subunit) and Clades 1 and 3 small subunit catalases (∼500 residues per subunit).

Comparing to the three known groups of crustacean chitinase, four of the seven members are located on new evolutionary clades thus enriched the chitinase family of Crustacea.

Phylogenetic analyses revealed two major evolutionary clades.

Two main evolutionary scenarios have been proposed.

In the study presented here, a thorough sampling of populations (including the Cretan lineage of wilkinsoni, as well as most sub-clades of pityocampa and the previously unknown ENA clade) and a Bayesian approach taking into account the gamma-distributed heterogeneity of rates, allowed us to obtain a different estimate for the age of the main evolutionary events.

Conversely, the concept that purifying selection is the main evolutionary mode of amino acid change in the C2-PLDs, along with the fact that the majority (12/13) of duplicated PLD genes belong to this clade, implies that C2-PLD gene duplication is unlikely to be associated with the formation of PLDs of either novel or divergent function.

This suggests that the previously identified T1, T3 and T4 clades do not correspond to robust evolutionary clades, and suggests that evolutionary inferences in cattle and aurochs based on mtDNA sub-clades frequencies should be avoided.

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the two species represent a single evolutionary clade.

Here, we selected Brassica as an evolutionary clade in which to analyze the evolutionary relationships of Brassica mitotypes by sequencing.

In particular, three rice isolates were found in the same evolutionary clade (Additional file 1).
