Sentence examples for much less evolutionary from inspiring English sources

This would in principle suggest that genes coding for exposed proteins from Asian species are subject to much less evolutionary pressure from the host immune system.

Furthermore, the central region of B-Myb appears to be under much less evolutionary constraint than the corresponding regions of c-Myb and A-Myb (Simon et al., 2002).

We note that not applying any distance cutoff for defining a pair of adjacent genes means that genes with much longer intergenic distances will be included for which the micro-synteny is expected to be much less evolutionary conserved thus potentially biasing our analysis.

However, there has been much less consideration of the evolutionary properties of these two fascinating molecular systems.

In smaller populations, we find that below a threshold size, which depends on the width of the fitness valley and the strength of selection against intermediate genotypes, valley-crossing is much less likely and hence the evolutionary dynamics are less influenced by distant regions of the fitness landscape.

However, the situation is much less clear when one studies evolutionary relationships within the phyla.

Not surprisingly, there has been much less progress in understanding the evolutionary reversal of hybrid genomic incompatibility than in understanding the bases of the incompatibilities themselves.

Much less is known about the evolutionary origins that have led to the generation of these hyper-rich ecosystems [ 4, 5].

Although, most of the relevant resistance QTL in T. aestivum have been mapped to the A or B subgenome (Buerstmayr et al. 2009), resistances encoded on the D subgenome may well play decisive roles: The D subgenome is much less polymorphic due to its evolutionary only recent addition to wheat and thus resistance contributors may not be segregating in mapping populations.

While networks are understood to change over developmental time, the alterations that occur over evolutionary times are much less clear.

Overall, quantitative analyses corroborated our qualitative analyses and revealed that pressure-related ideas were relatively common in student explanations of evolutionary change, although much less so in trait loss scenarios than in trait gain scenarios (Fig. 2).
