    Another example is the Silversword alliance, a group of perennial plant species, also endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, that inhabit a variety of habitats and come in a variety of shapes and sizes that include trees, shrubs, and ground hugging mats, but which can be hybridised with one another and with certain tarweed species found on the west ...

    The annual life cycle has evolved in over 120 plant families across the entire angiosperm phylogeny. [213] Notably, the prevalence of annual species increases under hot-dry summer conditions in different families including Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Fabaceae, and Poaceae. [212] Leaves have evolved multiple times - see Evolutionary history of plants.

    Darwin argued that species evolved through natural selection from variations within population which he termed as 'varieties'. [ 32 ] Later on, through a series of experiments, Turresson studied the effect of the environment on heritable plant variation and came up with the term 'ecotype' to denote differences between groups occupying distinct ...

Lemurs, primates belonging to the suborder Strepsirrhini which branched off from other primates less than 63 million years ago, evolved on the island of Madagascar, for at least 40 million years.

    Anxiety is another example of a modern manifestation of evolutionary mismatch in humans. An immediate return environment is when decisions made in the present create immediate results. Prehistoric human brains evolved to assimilate to this particular environment; creating reactions such as anxiety to solve short-term problems.
