1. Arms races are run in evolutionary time, rather than on the timescale of individual lifetimes. 2. In this light of evolutionary time, ecology can be seen as one long dress rehearsal. 3. This process of civilisation has, within the vastness of evolutionary time, hardly started. 4. This species, over evolutionary time, has lost its worker caste altogether. 5. Nevertheless, it is likely that birds have selected for sweeter fruits through evolutionary time. 6. As Hertsgaard travels the world, he compiles information on U.S. energy consumption, evolutionary time lines and global deforestation, extinction of species and population growth. 7. If unicolonial insects were successful in the grand sweep of evolutionary time, Case said, they would probably appear more often. 8. It is extremely difficult to prove or disprove changes that occurred over evolutionary time. 9. Other signs that genetic correlation may not be the whole story come from studies comparing the change in male and female coloration in various bird species over evolutionary time. |
