The question though is: was recognition the primary driving force of the evolution and maintenance of these features?
Brood parasites may play a key role in the evolution and maintenance of cooperative breeding in birds.
Each of these scenarios will expose students to a concept in the evolution and maintenance of cooperative behavior.
However, this can be impeded if the evolution and maintenance of existing systems is hampered by what has been recently termed Technical Debt (TD).
Our results unify, clarify, and extend a number of previous results on the evolution and maintenance of genetic variation under fluctuating selection.
Our results highlight the importance of testing the interaction of male and female condition on components of fitness to understand the evolution and maintenance of mating systems.
The evolution and maintenance of mutualisms requires that the relationship results in net fitness benefits for the interacting species.
Determining the cost of mate choice in a diversity of mating systems is critical to understanding the evolution and maintenance of sexual selection.
Their 200 species influence the evolution and maintenance of not only orchids but diverse tropical forest trees, vines, shrubs and herbs [22] [25].
We suggest that this mode of evolution may play an important, but so far underappreciated, role in promoting the evolution and maintenance of mutualistic symbiosis.
Understanding which proximate factors influence the ability of group members to discriminate against foreigners is fundamental to gain a better understanding of the evolution and maintenance of complex social systems.
