Ontogenetic changes in caterpillars reduce the risk of predation and as a consequence, predation-related benefits of group foraging decrease with time.
32.
These differences in size were once used to distinguish species, but are now recognized as ontogenetic variations related to the ages of individuals.
33.
Other authors suggest a new notion of the phylogenetic and ontogenetic origin of action understanding that utilizes the motor system; motor cognition hypothesis.
34.
All unequivocal morphological discrepancies among these three taxa could be attributed to intraspecific variation ( ontogenetic and polymorphic variation ) and post-depositional distortion.
35.
Ontogenetic scaling, where relative extension of a common growth trajectory occurs, may give some insight into the relationship between sexual dimorphism and growth patterns.
36.
:There are strong arguments that music inhabits a semiological realm which, on both ontogenetic and phylogenetic levels, has developmental priority over verbal language.
37.
Ontogenetic dietary shifts and food selection of endemic Squalius carolitertii ( Actinopterygii : Cypriniformes : Cyprinidae ) in River Tormes, Central Spain, in summer.
38.
This possibility was rejected by the authors however, because from other ankylosaurian species no comparably large ontogenetic changes of the squamosal horn shape are known.
39.
Passive sorting mechanisms such as the ontogenetic habitat shift discussed above have been postulated to contribute to the formation of groups organized based on size or sex.
40.
Since the advent of the modern evolutionary synthesis, evolutionary theory has been primarily E . O . Wilson regarded ontogenetic variation as " developmental noise ".
