Sentence examples for morphologies have evolved from inspiring English sources

Their corresponding morphologies have evolved independently in response to similar environmental challenges.

Hence, robust modelling statistics revealed a extreme ecological similarity between the phylogenetically unrelated Psammophis and Coluber, clearly indicating that their peculiar morphologies have evolved to prey a rapid moving type of diurnal prey (lizards) in a specific type of microhabitat (tall grass).

Traditionally, the taxonomy of the Oncidiinae tribe is based on the morphology of the flower [ 2]; however, morphology is affected by environmental factors, and over time flower morphologies have evolved convergently.

These results suggest multiple ejaculate traits, as well as aspects of testicular morphology, have evolved in response to sperm competition in the Australian Maluridae.

It has been hypothesized that their morphology has evolved as a response preying on quick-running diurnal prey, mainly lizards.

In general, the Lymnaeidae morphology has evolved slowly and most species within clades are similar: small-shelled turriform, G. truncatula-like in the American clade; large and high-spired shells in the Eurasian Lymnaea; and large, rounded or ovate shells in the Indo-Pacific clade, especially in Radix.

Similar morphologies must have evolved several times independently, but details on this morphological evolution are scarce.

Some authors (Harvati and Weaver 2006; Roseman and Weaver 2004) state that there is an excess of differentiation involving Circum-Arctic populations, thus suggesting that some aspects of cranial morphology might have evolved as adaptations by natural selection to coldness of climate.
