Sentence examples for use of evolutionary trees from inspiring English sources

There is a previous important study conducted by Teresa E. MacDonald (2010) which explored the use of evolutionary trees in exhibits across 207 informal science institutions and analyzed the form and content of 185 trees.

Advancements were also made in phylogenetic systematics, mapping the transition of traits into a comparative and testable framework through the publication and use of evolutionary trees.

As many traditionally used visual incarnations of evolutionary trees can unwittingly misrepresent evolutionary relationships (top-right placement of humans, vertical upward orientated diagrams), today's biologists are devising new ways to overcome these pitfalls.

This study found a wide diversity of evolutionary trees used in museum exhibits, often within the same institution and with considerable variation in content, annotation, and presentation.

Recently, conservationists have used information about the shape of evolutionary trees when prioritizing species of conservation concern.

It was initially introduced by PAUP -- Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony [ 11] which is a widely used software package for the inference of evolutionary trees and MrBayes [ 12] which is a program for the Bayesian estimation of phylogenies.

Students with limited prior knowledge of evolutionary trees often use superficial similarity or shared habitats to determine relationships (Halverson et al. 2011).

Visual representations of evolutionary trees can be amazingly varied.

Phylogenetic ortholog identification methods that require gene tree topologies to agree with trusted species phylogenies may have limited accuracy when sequence fragments are included in an analysis or when the domain used as the basis of evolutionary tree construction is short, reducing the phylogenetic signal.

A notable case of the latter comes from evolutionary biology, a field in which cognitive scientist Laura Novick and biologist Kefyn Catley have conducted extensive research about how students understand evolutionary relationships when different types of evolutionary tree representations are used (Catley and Novick, 2008; Novick et al., 2010).

These were aligned using CLUSTALX [ 34] and edited so that only conserved blocks of residues were used for evolutionary tree building.
