Indeed, the species tree reconstructed from the amino-acid ML gene trees unambiguously supported (BP = 100) the grouping of turtles and archosaurs, whereas the species tree based on nucleotide ML gene trees supported (BP = 87) a conflicting turtles plus crocodilians clade, as previously shown in concatenation-based analyses using suboptimal models of sequence evolution.
We assert that the current 'capture/recapture' pattern maintenance model is suboptimal for adapting patterns to language evolution and propose a new 'capture/modify/recapture' maintenance cycle as a more effective approach.
Relatedly, although a range of instruments have been used to measure acceptance and understanding of evolution, their operationalization is suboptimal.
How Mr. Quijada proposes to change the suboptimal to the optimal is not through more evolution, which would just mean more mess, but with the help of some intelligent design, provided by Mr. Quijada himself, in a language that he created from scratch, called Ithkuil.
This much more basally suboptimal position of Xingxiulong suggests a high level mosaic evolution around the beginning of basal Massopoda and basal Sauropodiformes.
Evolution will be evident, rather, in the imperfections, suboptimal design, quirky anatomy, and other manifestations of contingent evolutionary history.
Theoretical models predict that phenotypic plasticity has the potential to affect whether or not populations adapt in suboptimal environments, as well as the rate and direction of evolution.
Failure to pick up drugs on time serves as a proxy for treatment interruption and suboptimal drug concentrations, which are associated with virologic failure and the evolution of drug resistance [11], [12], [13].
Lunzer et al. (2005) demonstrated that protein adaptive evolution through cumulative substitutions could get stuck in local suboptimal adaptive peaks.
Our data are consistent with the conception of several patterns of graft function evolution over time [ 36, 37]: achieving optimal or suboptimal function with subsequent stabilization or decline.
On the other hand, growth on glycerol is suboptimal but, when placed under selective pressure, the population undergoes adaptive evolution to reach the predicted optimal growth [ 3].
