Sentence examples for prerequisite for evolutionary from inspiring English sources

Variance in reproductive success among individuals in a population results from both selection and random events and is a prerequisite for evolutionary change, population differentiation, and finally speciation.

The ortholog relationships among the yeast genes have been accurately determined, a prerequisite for calculating evolutionary rate.

A prerequisite for adaptive evolutionary divergence of hybrids is the invasion of an alternative "niche" in which the hybrids are subjected to different selection pressures, and the parallel evolution of reproductive isolation between the parents and the hybrids.

Whereas prior studies of contemporary evolution in conservation contexts have tended to emphasize modest but persistent disturbance and directional trait change (Visser 2008; Darimont et al. 2009), such conditions are not prerequisite for eco-evolutionary conservation concerns.

High ploidy levels and sexuality have probably been the prerequisites for the evolutionary success of dogroses after the retreat of Pleistocenic ice shields, because dogroses are very widely spread in Central Europe and occur on a broad range of different habitats, whereas diploid and tetraploid species of other sections of Rosa are mainly found in glacial refugia [ 15].

Understanding the phylogenetic relationships within the Neodermata is an essential prerequisite for understanding the evolutionary origins of endo- and ectoparasitism as well as of the complex life cycles of flatworms.

The rapid radiation and diversification of angiosperms during the Cretaceous led to major ecological changes on the earth, the latter were a prerequisite for many critical evolutionary events [ 3] including the later evolution of human beings.

Essential prerequisites for such evolutionary-based studies are the multiple sequence alignment (MSA) and its subsequent analysis [8], [9], [10].

Enhanced wavelength discrimination, a possible consequence of opsin gene duplication and divergence, might have been an evolutionary prerequisite for color-based sexual selection and have led to the extraordinary coloration now observed in male guppies and in many other poeciliids.
