Darwinian
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to Darwin; as, the Darwinian theory, a theory of the manner and cause of the supposed development of living things from certain original forms or elements.
(n.) An advocate of Darwinism.

(5) We earlier suggested that type A human influenza virus genes undergo positive Darwinian selection through immune surveillance.
(6) In contrast to the Darwinian theory of evolution by natural selection, the neutral theory emphasizes the great importance of random genetic drift (due to finite population size) and mutation pressure as the main causes of molecular evolution.
(7) We show that the diversity-selection duality of Darwinian evolution is achieved at this state if we start from four different monomers capable of forming two complementary pairs.
(8) With respect to amino acid composition, this coupling ameliorates the current controversy over Darwinian vs. non-Darwinian evolution, selectionist vs. neutralist, in favor of neither: Within the context of the quantitative data, the evolution of real proteins is seen as a compromise between the two viewpoints, both important.
(9) The events in Pavlov's laboratory lead toward the postulation of a new paradigm that rejected the Cartesians conceptualization of the reflex as a mechanistic response to stimuli by replacing it with the Darwinian notion of the organism's adaptation to the environmental conditions.
