Biology

This article borrows macroevolutionary concepts derived from paleontology and applies them to one of the longest-standing puzzles in genome biology, namely the evolution of genome size.
Example sentencesExamples
- Despite these findings, one would think that natural selection could produce macroevolutionary changes in bristle number without the inevitable derangement of either ribosome production or the PNS.
- And, though some would disagree, I do not think we can make further serious progress in our understanding of macroevolutionary phenomena without drawing phylogeny into a central role.
- The association between environmental changes and biogeographic and macroevolutionary changes is potentially an important area of paleontological research.
- Thus, adaptation-oriented studies of characters have expanded from microevolutionary studies of function and fitness to include macroevolutionary studies of phylogenetic patterns.
