单词 ontogeny
释义

Definition of ontogeny in English:

ontogeny

noun ɒnˈtɒdʒəni
mass noun
  • 1The branch of biology that deals with ontogenesis.

    Compare with phylogeny
    Example sentencesExamples
    • Moreover, three of them could constitute a morphological series, continuously related through ontogeny.
    • Hmm… Since ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny I don't think there actually is a completion of the quest.
    • Given the interest in comparative approaches in biology, new examples of embryonic ontogeny of osmoregulation should be investigated in species with internal or external development.
    • Delineation of species has traditionally been based on morphological characteristics, especially macroconidium ontogeny, and species have been named based on host association.
    • Sacks suggests that the way to learn a subject is to go through it historically for oneself - a mental version of ontogeny recapitulating phylogeny - and the account of him doing so is as lovely as it is riveting.
    • So these small horns may be more relevant to the study of dinosaur ontogeny than phylogeny (evolution).
    • A more botanically minded perspective of branching patterns integrates plant morphology and ontogeny.
    • In summary, the available evidence from both ontogeny and adult morphology suggests that the first ambulacral is at least involved in the construction of the MAO.
    • His finding of parallels between ontogeny, paleontology, and morphology was rapidly adopted by biologists like Haeckel and used to support evolution.
    • Recall that the central theme of monism is the so-called biogenetic law stating that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.
    • Progress in our understanding of the relationships between ontogeny and phylogeny forever seems to be bogged in nomenclatural disputes.
    • However helpful this removal can be, there needs also to be a cohesive model of homologies that can draw upon the integration of morphology, ontogeny, and paleontology.
    • There shall always be exceptions, but the rule is that heredity to a large extent determines the environment in which we are going to live - or ontogeny determines phylogeny.
    • Although a strong form of recapitulation is not correct, phylogeny and ontogeny are intertwined, and many biologists are beginning to both explore and understand the basis for this connection.
    • Measurement of the distinguishing characteristics of the skeleton - the skull and pelvis - led some anatomists to conclude that white women ranked below European men in the scales of both ontogeny and phylogeny.
    • However, the examination of specific cases may still yield valuable insight into the relationship between phylogeny, ontogeny and ecology.
    • Heterometry should be applicable only to morphological features that are considered fixed in number through ontogeny.
    • If ontogeny really did recapitulate phylogeny, then phylogenetic relationships might be determined directly by reference to ontogenetic sequences.
    • Heterochronic evolution has been defined as a morphological change inscribed within an ontogenetic trajectory that produces parallelism between ontogeny and phylogeny.
    • Can anyone get more obscure than biologists and paleontologists, who reflect for thirteen syllables on whether or not ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny?
    1. 1.1
      another term for ontogenesis
      Example sentencesExamples
      • There is however one problem, namely that much of the ontogeny and behavior of biological organisms is not intentional.
      • These models stress the dynamics during ontogeny of the cellular components of growth and morphogenesis.
      • Exceptions to the rule may provide insight into the biology of the animals' ontogeny and life cycle.
      • Selection may act to modify ontogeny and ultimately determine morphology and function.
      • Specialization on alternative food resources might drive evolutionary shifts in jaw ontogeny and morphology.

Derivatives

  • ontogenic

  • adjective ɒntəˈdʒɛnɪkˌɑnˌtoʊˈdʒɛnɪk
    • Although these issues have been addressed in several plant species, very few studies exist for tree species, especially those addressing the genetic basis of phenotypic plasticity and ontogenic allometry.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • The second approach consists of measuring biomechanical parameters in different samples to demonstrate the effect of ontogenic, genetic or environmental conditions.
      • Alternatively, therefore, the expression of hormone receptors in the ovarian-like stroma of cystic nephroma may be related to female gender and smooth muscle differentiation rather than ontogenic similarity to ovarian stroma.
      • However, alternative ways of integrating more global and long-term regulation (from nycthemeral to ontogenic changes) into mechanistic modelling have been tested.
      • Thus measurements on plants with different canopy heights and at different ontogenic stages were made, to investigate whether the relationship could be used in all cases.
  • ontogenically

  • adverb ɒntəˈdʒɛnɪk(ə)li
