The last 65 million years, seen through a synthesis of scientific, cultural and historical studies in a perpetual sequence of invasion, adaptation and extinction, with fresh opportunity for each succeeding species.
As Bevin's biographer Alan Bullock put it: "Greece was a poor country at the best of times and her economy had been wrecked by the sequence of invasion, occupation, resistance, reprisals and civil war.
In the twentieth century there were large numbers of archaeological investigations of specific sites, which formed the basis for an attempt to establish a chronology of the forts that would allow them to be fitted into a "defensive sequence" of invasion and occupation.
A sequence of invasion and replacement events occurs until the resident population adopting the new strategy cannot be invaded by mutant phenotypes with similar strategies.
Nabokov ([1945]) thereby inferred a classification of Neotropical Polyommatus blues, formerly called Plebejinae, without benefit of cladistics technology, and the sequence of invasions from Siberia that populated the New World with these butterflies.
The origin and sequence of invasions of cats into Australia is unresolved [ 13, 23– 25].
The metastatic process is a sequence of steps (invasion, intravasation, transport, arrest, extravasation, and growth) that must be accomplished by cancer cells before distant metastases are established.
The description of metastasis as an orderly sequence of basic steps local invasion, intravasation, survival in circulation, extravasation, matrix remodeling, reinitiation, and colonization has helped to rationalize the complex set of biological properties that must be acquired in order for a particular malignancy to progress toward overt metastatic disease (Vanharanta & Massague, 2013).
The now familiar sequence of escalating mutual hostility, invasion, and withdrawal without security arrangements has never worked.... Israel's only hope for survival as a secure and democratic Jewish homeland lies in a diplomatic - rather than military - solution, and in a negotiated peace with the Palestinians".
Accordingly, this minimal movement may relate to the marked apical reorientation step that was initially recognized in the sequence of red blood cell invasion by Plasmodium merozoites [ 34].
The tumor cells acquisition of invasive and migratory properties provide the means to enter and exit the lymphatic or the vascular system and establish secondary tumors in foreign tissue, thereby completing the complex sequence of events within the invasion-metastasis cascade [4], [5].
