However, the mode and timing of the origin and diversification of the dinosaurs have so far been unresolved.
The origin and diversification of angiosperms led to marked changes in terrestrial ecosystems during the Late Cretaceous26, which probably provided a basis for a radiation of ants.
Fig. 1 The origin and diversification of life.
Understanding the origin and diversification of this biodiversity is a major quest in ecology and evolution.
This article serves as an introduction or extended abstract for several biological narratives with an emphasis on the origin and diversification of life.
However, the role of introgression in the origin and diversification of rice is poorly understood, particularly with respect to the evolutionary fitness of genotypes resulting from introgression.
Further understanding of why there is apparently a pre-domestication tendency towards indica and japonica differentiation in wild rice is needed as this might shed light on the origin and diversification of domesticated rice.
Our study demonstrates that students can be, and are, enthusiastic about learning factual explanations about the origin and diversification of life, including humans, and that contact with science education, particularly biology, determines their acceptance of evolutionary theory.
An evolutionary arms race gradually selected for more elaborate means of infection and defense, which led to not only the emergence of DNA and its replicating enzymes but also the origin and diversification of the cell wall and membrane.
Not only Stanley Miller's experiments of 1953 led scientists to envision a continuum from the inorganic world to the origin and diversification of life, but also Darwin's own writings of 1871.
The theory of evolution proposes that the molecular and physiological processes responsible for the origin and diversification of life on Earth are the consequence of natural selection, mutations, gene flow, and genetic drift (Mayr 2001).
