Sentence examples for the tempo of evolution from inspiring English sources
Studies of species diversity, the tempo of evolution, and morphological evolution are inherently difficult for these groups.
Here we investigate the tempo of evolution in harpalines using molecular divergence dating techniques and explore the rates of lineage accumulation in harpalines and their sister group.
Furthermore, using sister group comparisons, it is impossible to directly test for variation in the tempo of evolution within clades (i.e., how 'clock-like' non-coding substitutions have been within that clade).
PBS values can be used with gene length, ease of amplification and sequencing to select a suite of genes for phylogenetic inference, especially given that different suites of genes may provide more information as a function of the tempo of evolution.
As there is little a priori information on the tempo of evolution within oomycetes, here we estimate divergence times under three distinct molecular clock models: a single-rate strict clock, a relaxed clock with uncorrelated rates modeled under a lognormal distribution (UCLD), and a random local clock model.
It uses surveys of patterns of morphological variation relating to mouthpart and feeding function in numerous species of nematodes in combination with a more extensive and complete phylogeny to test whether the evolution of phenotypic plasticity is associated with the tempo of evolution.
Changes in habitat conditions dramatically alter community structure, yet, we conclude that the high dispersal of marine planktonic microbes erases the legacy of past environmental conditions, thereby decreasing the tempo of community evolution.
Due to these, if correlated between the genetic and morphological differentiation, it will be intriguing to reveal the tempo of trait evolution [28] for closely-related species (e.g., M. nicotianae) with M. persicae [47].
We aimed at determining the tempo of the evolution of queen signals in two ways.
The value of α was then regarded as an estimate of the tempo of trait evolution.
Complete plastome sequences allow us to detect rare rearrangements and test the tempo of sequence evolution.
