If a predator displays prey switching behaviour it can have a large effect on the stability of the system, coexistence of prey species, and evolutionary diversification.
Phytophagous insects are able to build up this resistance because they are easily capable of evolutionary diversification and adaption.
Suddenly transformed from a silver swimmer into a bold pioneer, this creature stood on the threshold of what would become an explosion of evolutionary diversification.
At that time mammals were at the height of their evolutionary diversification.
The evolutionary diversifications and specialization in functions of the dorsal pallium have been more difficult to decipher.
The KNOX family has undergone quite a bit of evolutionary diversification, while keeping the overall mechanism more or less similar.
Mass extinctions, however, are often followed by periods of renewed evolutionary diversification, allowing the player to experiment with new sets of species and ecosystems.
Second, he placed all these contemporaneous fossils at different positions on his vertical branches, implying that they represented evolutionary diversification through time.
The bottom-heavy signature is not an oddity of Cambrian invertebrate life, but a general statement about the nature of evolutionary diversification.
