phyletic

In phyletic evolution, an entire species slowly evolves into a new species.

This observation, together with the phyletic distribution of these proteins, provides some clues to their evolutionary history.

This is called anagenesis: species by changing, or 'phyletic evolution'.

Gradualism is often confused with the concept of phyletic gradualism.

There has been an ongoing debate over the exact phyletic origins of each of these species.

Two of these superfamilies show a restricted phyletic distribution.

The fossil record suggests that the largest members of a phyletic series usually had the most reason to be apprehensive of the future.

Gene fusions often show scattered phyletic patterns, appearing in several species from different lineages.

Fleming calls Borean a "phyletic chain" rather than a super-phylum.

The genus is considered an example of phyletic dwarfism with adults estimated at being on average 20 kg in weight.

The fossil record includes well documented examples of phyletic gradualism and punctuational evolution.

He labeled these ways speciation, phyletic evolution, and quantum evolution.

The sequence of the taxa in keys is often unrelated to their natural or phyletic groupings.

The wide phyletic separation of B. sphaerocarpa var.

If this is true, rather than being insular giants they would be viewed as examples of phyletic gigantism.

Insular dwarfism, a form of phyletic dwarfism.

There are 10 clearly identifiable orthologous lineages within this family which have varying phyletic distributions in bacteria (Figure 3).

Since phyletic size increase is such a widespread trend in the animal kingdom, there must be manifestly one or more selective advantages of larger size.

He cautioned, however, "that Hoazinoides by no means establishes a phyletic junction point with other galliforms."

The remainder of the book, about 300 pages, is an "Annotated Phyletic Catalog" of specimens collected.

Most evolution "nine-tenths" occurs by the steady phyletic transformation of whole lineages (anagenesis).

It was placed in phyletic order between B. micrantha and B. leptophylla.

Based on phyletic distribution and contextual information, we conclude that these enzymes may play a critical role in the interface between nucleotide and polyphosphate metabolism.

Phyletic gradualism is a model of evolution which theorizes that most speciation is slow, uniform and gradual.

Here, we describe the results of an in-depth sequence analysis of these proteins and delineate their evolutionary relationships and phyletic horizon in available genomes.
