Microgenesis refers to the actualization (Aktualgenese) of a cognition over «layers» in mind and brain that retrace growth patterns in phyloontogeny.1 The recapitulation that is the cornerstone of historical theory is a repetition of the antecedents of a behavior that phyletic or
ontogenetic process lays down.
A molecular switch between proliferation and differentiation, maintained by anti-cancer selection, imposes a developmental constraint
on ontogenetic rates and morphological evolution.
The alternative to realization of
many ontogenetic potentialities is death; a child either grows up or dies.
However, research to date suggests that measures such as functional diversity or biomass of functional groups may not be directly related to ecosystem impact, due to spatial and
ontogenetic changes in function.
These mechanisms are studied in normal and pathological conditions, and
during ontogenetic development and ageing.
More precisely, the duration of phyletic or
ontogenetic process is not the evolutionary (maturational) history of a species (organism); the former is more accurately the sum of its ontogenies.
Ontogenetic and phylogenetic potentialities are fundamentally different.
The word he should use here is
ontogenetic.
According to the intention of its founder, genetic epistemology should examine how scientific thinking, as it pertains to the established sciences, becomes possible in the development of the individual from child to adult; genetic epistemology should further ask about the relationships between
this ontogenetic process and the phylogenetic process of the history of humankind as the history of science.
This enabled small seedlings to maintain adequate foliar P levels, critical to
their ontogenetic growth.
The purpose of cranial developmental morphology is to explore
the ontogenetic background of various character states expressed in adult forms.
I joined Dr. Kay Holekamp's lab, which focuses on
the ontogenetic development, physiological substrates, and evolution of mammalian behavior, using the free - living spotted hyena as a model species.
Primates have large eyes relative to head size, which profoundly influence
the ontogenetic emergence of facial form.

Future research is needed to test the influence of
ontogenetic and hereditary factors on the development of infidelity tendencies.
