heterochronic การใช้

A creature in its ontogeny may combine heterochronic features in six vectors, although Gould considers that there is some binding with growth and sexual maturation.
He has also continued work on heterochronic mutants and other aspects of cell lineage, and established lines of research in signal transduction, morphogenesis, and neural development.
On the balance, an all or nothing approach could be regarded as pointless, with a combination of heterochronic processes being more likely and more reasonable ( Vrba, 1996 ).
In a study that assumes the hominin status of " Ardipithecus ramidus ", it has been argued the species represents a heterochronic alteration of the more general great ape body plan.
The study also provides support for Stephen Jay Gould's theory in " Ontogeny and Phylogeny " that the paedomorphic form of early hominin craniofacial morphology results from heterochronic dissociation of growth trajectories.
