This diversity, which presumably reflects evolution and adaptation to new environments as the species spread across the continent, provides a range of valuable traits for breeding programs.

The length of the periods of these systems are considered inherited and their coincidence with the natural geophysical periods reflects adaptation to the conditions of our planet over the course of millions of years.

Pathogens, in general, don't have complement regulatory proteins (there are many exceptions, which reflect adaptation of microbial pathogens to vertebrate immune defenses).

The raised and somewhat cartilaginous ring of the corolla throat is reminiscent of that of species of Prestonia (Apocynaceae) from the same geographic region; it probably reflects adaptation to pollinator foraging behaviour.

It is not confirmed how much other features of its skeleton reflect adaptation to bipedalism on the ground as well.

The purpose of this book is to survey present knowledge of parasite metabolism and show how it reflects adaptation to a particular environment.

In the course of its existence, EngenderHealth has undergone changes in name and mission, reflecting internal debate, shifts in public policy, and adaptation to evolutions in public opinion and international awareness.
