Their painstaking observation and their ability to handle complicated narratives is better seen in their drawings and prints.
Darwin was a scientist and a ruthlessly inductive thinker who formulated his hypotheses over 25 years of painstaking observation of plants, animals and fossils.
The diurnal variation, caused mainly by solar heating and easily measured with the instruments discussed below, was discovered through painstaking observation of compass needles by Hiorter in the early 1700s.
Two years of painstaking observation on the social interactions of a troop of free-ranging monkeys and an analysis of their family trees has found signs of natural selection affecting the behavior of the descendants.
But remember, Maxwell's theory was built up piece-by-piece from the painstaking observations of Faraday and others, and the general principles were discovered in his equations later.
The study used records drawn from the work of thousands of volunteers who, as part of the UK phenology network, have made painstaking observations of the behaviour of wildlife in gardens and public spaces.
Painstaking observations by Petigura's team show that planets two or three times the diameter of Earth are typically like Uranus and Neptune, which have a rocky core surrounded by helium and hydrogen gases and perhaps water.
Moreover, Copernicus can hardly be blamed for having failed to discover that the orbits of the planets were ellipses, a realization due to Kepler, whose work was very much inspired by Copernicus and who had at his disposal the painstaking observations that Tycho Brahe made after Copernicus was already dead.
At a press conference today at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C., and in a paper published online today in Science, researchers announced that all the painstaking observations, analysis, and reanalysis now reveal summertime plumes of the gas from three regions on the planet.
Darwin's painstaking observations, experiments, and detailed dissection of the flowers explained previously unknown features such as the puzzle of Catasetum, which had been thought to have three completely different species of flowers on the same plant.
Her painstaking observations and rigorous experiments led her to postulate the existence of a locus with a controlling element that was able to modify the expression of a gene at another locus.
