Sentence examples for morphological adaptation from inspiring English sources

The host organism is essentially unchanged by the interaction, whereas the commensal species may show great morphological adaptation.

BM homing and retention necessitates morphological adaptation towards migratory phenotype and are mainly promoted by MSCs releasing the chemokine SDF-142.

Wortinger, M. A., Quardokus, E. M. & Brun, Y. V. Morphological adaptation and inhibition of cell division during stationary phase in Caulobacter crescentus.

Using a combination of morphological, molecular, genetic and paleontological methods, a robust species-level phylogeny has been reconstructed, and is used to discuss speciation mechanisms, historical biogeography, and morphological adaptation in relation to habitat and diet.

The study of Ginkgo here complements previous work on Quercus that indicated that leaves throughout the crown are identical in size and venation at the time of bud break and that morphological adaptation to the local microenvironment takes place largely during the expansion phase after the determination of the vascular architecture is complete.

The expression of some known genes identified in other plants, such as those involved in root architecture, P metabolism and transport were found to be altered at least two folds, indicating that the mechanisms of molecular and morphological adaptation to P starvation are conserved in plants.

Robots have the potential to display a higher degree of lifetime morphological adaptation than natural organisms.

Given the strong and general association of ecology and head shape in teleost fishes [ 32- 36], our results indicate that eco-morphological adaptation and cognitive adaptation can interact through phenotypic integration of head morphology and brain size.

Under such modularity of the different parts of the head, we would not predict a strong association between eco-morphological adaptation and brain size evolution.

The cichlid fishes from Lake Tanganyika thus offer an interesting opportunity to test the hypothesis that phenotypic integration may link eco-morphological adaptation and brain size evolution.

Eco-morphological adaptation could be a critical source of brain diversification also in many other groups of vertebrates, such as carnivorous mammals [ 12, 16], and hominids [ 15].
