Evolutionary adaptation history

The evolution of chemical signals for the two surviving species of elephants has been shaped, both during prehistoric eras and recent millennia, by ecological constraints. These factors include climate (both thermal and moisture aspects) and physical environment (Bossert Wilson, 1963 Alberts, 1992). The thermal aspects of climate have influenced the life history, survival, and evolutionary adaptations of elephants (Shoshani ... 

The evolutionary history of symbiotic nitrogen fixers is therefore a tale of coevolution, which occurred in the shadow of their hosts, chasing their growing roots, and striving for adaptation. It is an example of how bacterial genetics has managed to keep pace with the creative power of eukaryotic sexual recombination. Mobile replicons, insertion elements, and symbiotic islands prone to move have helped rhizobia to succeed in their pursuit. The race, naturally, is not over and, looking at it from a distance, what we have. seen, compared to what we have yet to see, is probably just a cloud of dust. 

A management procedure for global model precision was proposed by Kondratyev, Krapivin, and Pshenin (2000). The main idea behind this procedure consists in the use of evolutionary modeling for the synthesis of a combined model whose structure is subject to adaptation against the background of the history of a system of the biosphere and climate components. The form of such a synthesis depends on the spatiotemporal completeness of the global database.
