Summary: Wind is a powerful force of nature.
What of the powerful forces of sexuality?
Powerful forces of mutual attraction must emerge as well.
Antagonistic coevolution between the sexes or between hosts and parasites is recognized as a powerful force capable of driving rapid evolutionary changes, which contributes significantly to biodiversity [2], [3].
The active competition that ensued must have greatly accelerated evolutionary change, serving as a powerful force for the development of more efficient cells.
It was an elegant, powerful application of evolutionary theory to the mating game.
Replication allows for the powerful testing of evolutionary hypotheses.
Evolutionary conflicts of interest between the sexes are common, and increasingly recognized as a powerful force driving the evolution of traits involved in reproduction [ 3- 6].
Pondering the peacock's elaborate plumage, the father of evolutionary biology, Charles Darwin, proposed that the drive for sex and for producing offspring was a powerful force in evolution.
