Sentence examples for morphological evolutionary processes from inspiring English sources

Utilizing hydrologic and bathymetric surveying datasets, we examined the latest regime of river input from the perspective of water-sediment relationship, and the responding morphological evolutionary processes of active YRSD over a period of 20 years between 1996 and 2016.

The aim of this study is to assess cytogenetic variability within the Nemacheilidae family using conventional and molecular chromosome markers and to evaluate these data with regards to the evolutionary processes behind morphological and ecological diversification.

Repeated patterns of parallel evolutionary change of phenotypic traits are commonly regarded as evidence of adaptation under common selection pressures such as common environmental factors [ 20- 22], therefore illustrating natural selection's major role in shaping morphological evolution and the repeatability of evolutionary processes.

Most cases of nonmonophyly of species in the mitochondrial gene tree of the Xerocrassa radiation on Crete are not caused by inappropriate morphological taxonomy, but are the result of evolutionary processes.

The aim of this study is not to perform a phylogenetical analysis or to find new informative phylogenetic characters, but is to use information about phylogeny and ecology to assess evolutionary processes that could explain a morphological differentiation of hystricognathous jaws.

Evolutionary processes responsible for the observed sperm morphological variation among males may be illuminated by examining similar patterns in other male reproductive traits.

Thus, our retroposon-based waterbird phylogeny and the established phylogenetic position of storks will help to understand the evolutionary processes of aquatic adaptation and related morphological convergent evolution.

Lastly, allopatric and sympatric divergence (through ecological differentiation) and hybridization was considered as possible evolutionary processes that produce and maintain the morphological and genetic variation found in E. flexuosa.

We focus on body size as it is the single most important morphological trait that influences the majority of ecological and evolutionary processes via its correlation with most components of organismal form and function [ 49, 50].

The morphological variability among early Pleistocene forms can be attributed to evolutionary processes or most likely multiple Bison invasions at that time.

The nature of the evolutionary processes generating these phenotypes is poorly understood, but such morphological convergence across unrelated lineages is highly suggestive of common selective pressures.
