Sentence examples for morphological diversification is from inspiring English sources

This suggests that morphological diversification is driven by natural selection pushing morphologies toward more diverse and extreme forms (Mayr, 1984).

This morphological diversification is regulated by Hox genes.

Here, we show that morphological diversification is prevalent in Pseudoalteromonas species during biofilm formation.

While evidence that polyploidy has promoted speciation or morphological diversification is lacking (Otto 2007), the possibility has been acknowledged (Comai 2005; Otto 2007), and it has recently been suggested that increased rates of meiotic recombination might have contributed to the evolutionary success of polyploid plants (Pecinka et al. 2011).

After 7 days, extensive morphological diversification was observed when biofilm cells were destructively sampled and plated on agar plates.

This ecological diversification is accompanied by morphological, behavioural and physiological adaptations [ 4, 9, 17- 32].

Also in accordance with ecological adaptation as a drive to diversification is the marked morphological diversity of megabats, such as the high variance in body size, as compared to the other bat families [ 68] and the independent evolution of nectarivorous habits and associated morphological adaptations in several of the pteropodid clades.

Finally, although net lineage diversification has been rapid and described by a diversity-dependent trajectory in the exceptionally explosive radiation of Rattus rats, the extent of interspecific morphological diversification has been minimal [ 16].

When diversification is rapid, little molecular or morphological change has time to accumulate as evidence of common ancestry.

"Explosive" radiations featuring rapid opportunistic morphological and ecological diversification are phenomena previously reported for some islands (e.g. [ 29] and references therein).

Diversification is essential.
