That could help trace the evolutionary history of cooperation in primates.
I trace the evolutionary history of nesting behavior, the origins of cleptoparasitism, and the evolution of cleptoparasitic strategy in the megachilid tribe Anthidiini using Bayesian ancestral state reconstructions.
Moreover we can trace the evolutionary patterns of feather evolution and there's a relatively simple transition from relatively basic filaments in basal species, to larger and more complex feathers in later forms.
To determine the molecular bases of this transition, we characterized the pregnant/gravid uterine transcriptome from tetrapods to trace the evolutionary history of uterine gene expression.
Fossils representing a wide array of extinct species and genera trace the evolutionary history of Echimyidae back to the Late Oligocene Epoch (23.8 million to 28.5 million years ago) in South America.
Drawing upon their unique observations of finch evolution over a thirty-four-year period, the Grants trace the evolutionary history of fourteen different species from a shared ancestor three million years ago.
In addition, whole genome data provide the possibility of inferring phylogenies based on a large number of functional genes, i.e. genes that trace the evolutionary history of adaptation in E. multilocularis and other members of the genus.
In order to explore the evolution of these behaviors, I assembled a large, multi-locus molecular data set for the bee family Megachilidae and used maximum likelihood-, Bandsian-, and maximum parsimony-based analytical methods to trace the evolutionary history of the family.
Scientists are just beginning to trace the evolutionary history of the serpents' deadly potions.
This makes it possible to trace the evolutionary path of a particular trait.
To trace the evolutionary history of the ASIP gene in primates, University of Tokyo biologists Kazuhiro Nakayama and Takafumi Ishida compared the gene's DNA sequence among several species.
