(n.) The history of genealogical development; the race history of an animal or vegetable type; the historic exolution of the phylon or tribe, in distinction from ontogeny, or the development of the individual organism, and from biogenesis, or life development generally.
Example Sentences:
(1) The sequence data were used to infer phylogeny by using a maximum-parsimony method, an evolutionary-distance method, and the evolutionary-parsimony method.
(2) The only inconsistency in the mariner gene phylogeny is in the placement of the Zaprionus mariner sequence, which clusters with mariner from Drosophila teissieri and Drosophila yakuba in the melanogaster species subgroup.
(3) The unique structure of these cilia has systematic and phylogenetic significance for the Acoela, and it is argued that ultrastructural characters in general, including characters of organelles, can be validly applied to the phylogeny and systematics of the Metazoa.
(4) In general, more than five loci are needed to resolve the species phylogeny.
(5) Genetic control of hormone receptors is analyzed by studying changes in their characteristics during the ontogeny, phylogeny, and malignant transformation of cells.
(6) Ecological changes on the main stem of the phylogeny are abrupt and associated character states consequently well differentiated.
(7) The data about genomic and protein sequences could provide bases to complement or expand the rRNA-based phylogeny.
(8) Therefore a primitive symmetrodont molar pattern was probably present in the phylogeny of pantotherian and tribosphenic molars.
(9) Recently published amino acid sequences are compared to those of other cytochromes c. Molecular phylogenies constructed by using an ancestral sequence method are compared to the classical biological view of invertebrate evolution.
(10) Cladistic analysis of likely phylogenies within the neurotrophins shows BDNF and NT-4 to be most closely related whereas NGF may be the sister group to NT-3, BDNF, and NT-4.
(11) The most interesting results of single gene phylogenies have been the anomalies, such as insulin in hystricomorphs or cytochrome c in the rattlesnake.
(12) Legitimacy of the symbiont transfer theory removes the constraint of interpreting presence of cellulolytic protozoa as a synapomorphy between Cryptocercidae and Isoptera, with potential impact on objective resolution of dictyopteran phylogeny.
(13) Phylogenetic trees based on aa sequences and nt sequences are similar, but not completely congruent with rRNA gene-based phylogenies.
(14) Differentiation of various areas of the proximal part of the nephron proceded in phylogeny with different intensity and the maximum specialization was characteristic of the most proximal portion of this part of the nephron.

(16) The resulting tree is compared with the eubacterial phylogeny built on 16S rRNA catalog comparison.
(17) It is now clear that phagocytically stimulated hemocytes of several molluscan species can generate reactive forms of oxygen; the relevance of this fact for the phylogeny of killing systems operative in leukocytes is discussed.
(18) Given the discrepancies generated by this classification by analogy, we evaluated a classification using a phylogeny congruence analysis of the compositional relatedness of vertebrate PK's.
(19) In the case of explicit morphological phylogenies, ecological and behavioural data can be integrated with them and it may then be possible to decide whether morphological characters are likely to have been elicited by the environments through which the clade has passed.
(20) We have undertaken the construction of a broad molecular phylogeny of protists through the comparison of 28S rRNA molecules.
