Indeed, the most salient feature of H3N2 evolution during the 1994 2005 time interval appears to be the predominance of neutral sequence evolution manifest in extended periods of antigenic stasis that are not associated with major fitness change.
Consider, for example, the summary of salient facts about human evolution in Table 1.
The model provides a reasonable explanation for many salient features of fracture evolution in laboratory experiments, including a spontaneous switch from a permeability reduction to a permeability increase in a static limestone experiment.
Many of the most salient examples in applied evolution involve trait loss, and we echo the opinions of others that such examples can make evolutionary biology interesting to those students who require relevance in order to listen or move beyond their intellectual comfort zone (Zeigler 2008).
We propose that salient aspects of the evolution of the notothenioid craniofacial skeleton can be explained by discrete shifts in early developmental genetic scheduling (Fig. 6).
Generally speaking, for most of the grey-level and multi-spectral images, we used the parameters λ = 5, μ=0.04, and ν = 3 (note that we should set ν = −3 if the initial level set is computed from the region enclosed by the salient object), and the curves evolutions take from 280 to 600 iterations.
"How Quantum Physics Can Teach Biologists About Evolution" raises the most salient aspect of the evolution debate: that evolution meets the definition of science.
We also demonstrated how model-independent analysis techniques facilitate mining these immense datasets for the salient material responses and their spatiotemporal evolution.
The midsagittal profile of the mandibular symphysis has served as both a taxonomic marker and a phylogenetically salient character in debates over hominoid evolution.
The debate over Wonder Woman's dated costume being the most salient example, as compared to the evolution of costumes assumed over two decades by Marvel's Storm, or Ororo Munroe of the X-Men, who for a number of years led the group and whose ability to draw down the forces of weather made her among the most powerful Marvel heroes.
Moreover, no gene-like molecule (FUE) replicates by itself, it needs a cell to do that, so that the salient argument of what the units of evolution are fails, in my view.
