As with phone lines that carry many voices at once, that arrangement has prompted the evolution of complex switching, splicing and silencing mechanisms -- mostly located between genes -- to sort out the interwoven messages.
Just as various aspects of electronic communication have presented new social issues or prompted the evolution of new etiquette, how to deal with recipient lists in electronic messages is an issue that has become more complicated with the growing use of e-mail.
Crabs are important predators, and the continuing struggle between them and their prey prompts the evolution of newer adaptations: the massive and often highly ornamented shells of many marine mollusks are thought to be a protective response to the predatory activities of crabs; in turn the crabs develop larger and more powerful pincers.
In contrast to the forty-three dollars that Cade and his team spent to make the first experimental batch of Gatorade in 1965, Gatorade prompted the evolution of a multi-billion dollar sports drink industry in the years that followed; as of 2007, over seven billion bottles of Gatorade were being sold annually in the United States.
However, from an evolutionary point of view, little is known about the circumstances that may have prompted the evolution of temporally based neural computing systems.
This phenomenon prompted the evolution of pharmacometabonomics: the prediction of response to an intervention based on their predose metabolic profiles.
Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous genomic parasites that have prompted the evolution of genome defense systems that restrict their activity.
Starting after the 1970s, several initially separate series of research efforts or deliberations occurred that prompted the evolution of the safe dose and related safety factor concept.
This has prompted the evolution of the probe sets contained within the array chips over the past few years, in both oligonucleotide and cDNA arrays [ 3].
Moreover, the pesticides kill WBPH predators, and the overuse of pesticides prompts the evolution of resistance in the insects, which in turn leads to a pest resurgence.
Exploiting similar types of food resources or dealing with similar types of predators were less frequently reported but still reasonably common selection pressures believed to have prompted the evolution of similar adaptations among taxa (21 % and 18%%, respectively).
