At one level punctuated equilibrium (PE) is merely a description of the fossil record (assuming geologic time, of course).
Punctuated equilibrium emphasizes the importance of environmental factors in species evolution.
'I am not saying that punctuated equilibrium is the only mode of speciation'
Their review paper of 1993 used 'punctuated equilibrium', so it appears that this term has come to prevail.
Ich przeglądowy artykuł z 1993 roku użył terminu "przerywana równowaga", tak więc wydaje się, że uzyskał on przewagę.
Eldredge used this term in his writings, whereas Gould used 'punctuated equilibrium' (compare the titles of references 9 and 28 for example).
Eldredge używał tego terminu w swoich publikacjach, podczas gdy Gould użył "przerywana równowaga" (por. tytuły jego publikacji w odsyłaczach).
Punctuated equilibrium suggests that evolution occurs in rapid bursts, rather than gradual change.
Many biologists support the theory of punctuated equilibrium to describe fossil records.
Many biologists accept punctuated equilibrium as a valid explanation for species adaptation.
Fossil evidence supports punctuated equilibrium, showing sudden changes in species traits.
Scientists often reference the theory of punctuated equilibrium to illustrate species adaptation.
The concept of punctuated equilibrium challenges earlier models of slow and steady evolution.
The theory of punctuated equilibrium suggests species can evolve rapidly after long stasis.
According to the theory of punctuated equilibrium, species remain stable for long periods.
Zgodnie z teorią punktualizmu, gatunki pozostają stabilne przez długie okresy.
