Sentence examples for morphological diversification and from inspiring English sources

Leaf shape is a key determinant of both function and structural diversity of plants, but relatively little is known about the tempo and mode of leaf morphological diversification and its correlation with tracheophyte diversity and abiotic changes during this remarkable macroevolutionary event, the greening of the continents.

This model can help reconcile the role of Hox genes in morphological diversification and innovation with their extreme sequence conservation.

Recent studies have examined the role of the pharyngeal jaws in shaping cichlid morphological diversification and cladogenesis [ 19- 22].

In relation to this, Zimmermann et al. reported that ANXA4 plays an important role in the morphological diversification and dissemination of renal cell carcinoma [ 38].

More specifically our results support the hypothesis that baculum diversity is driven by sexual selection, with broad implications for understanding patterns of morphological diversification and speciation [ 1, 2].

This "rewiring" strategy (i.e., coupling and decoupling) of the ground plan provides a new organizing principle for morphological diversification and might be applicable to complex wing patterns that have not yet been investigated.

Although the explanation remains uncertain, a long generation time in polygynous male birds-of-paradise and extensive hybridization may have constrained morphological diversifications and speciation.

As molecular phylogenies improve we will be able to clarify the temporal relationship between cladogenesis and morphological diversification [32] and explore in more detail the evolution of morphological covariance structure during adaptive radiation [33].

Lineage-specific rate heterogeneity in terms of morphological diversification [ 4] and molecular divergence [ 5- 7] is a trademark of the various orders and families of mammals, especially within the Eutheria, and this has complicated efforts to resolve phylogenetic relationships among the higher categories of mammals.

Several life-history changes seem correlated to, or perhaps are even causal of the morphological diversification of Cebus and Saimiri; such as delayed on-set of reproduction in Cebus, faster pre-natal growth rates and delayed weaning in Cebus, and accelerated weaning in Saimiri.

Given the extent of the morphological diversification within the group, and repeated connection and fragmentation of the islands during cyclic changes in sea level, during which the coastline shifted more than 100 km [ 7], contrasting scenarios might explain the complex distributions of the morphospecies.
