Note, however, that in the most parsimonious model of wolf dynamics (Table 1), the lag-one autoregressive term quantifying direct density dependence includes the coefficient of self-regulation in moose (1 + b 1 ), and the coefficient of the lag-one pack size term includes the coefficient quantifying the interaction between moose density and wolf density (coefficient a 2 from Equation 2a).
At present, the second and more parsimonious possibility has not been rigorously excluded.
The horizontal transfer scenario is more parsimonious than the assumption of presence in the shared common ancestor because the latter requires several independently occurring losses of the intein together with its long-term persistence in the Pyrococcus and Thermoplasma lineages ( cf.
In full agreement with the pure AR structure of the time series, the most parsimonious ecological model of wolf dynamics was an AR(1) model with current-year climate as a covariate (Table 1a); the best model of moose dynamics was an AR(3) model with current-year climate as a covariate (Table 1b); and the best model of fir dynamics was an AR(1) model with current-year climate as a covariate (Table 1c).
Three scenarios can explain the presence in species A of a gene which is absent in species B and C: first, the gene was present in the common ancestor of the species A, B, and C, and has then been independently lost in species B and C; second, the gene has been acquired by the common ancestor of species A and B, and then lost in species B; and third, the gene has been recently acquired by species A. The last hypothesis is the most parsimonious explanation if one considers that the acquisition of a gene is at least as probable as a loss.
