The plates move at a relative rate of over per year at a somewhat oblique angle to the subduction zone.

This typically results from a relative rate of the image with respect to the detector (e.g., caused by movement in the scene).

The bimolecular rate constants of disappearance of are an order of magnitude lower than the relative rate constants for binary collisions.

He did this via the relative rate test and then, using this data, he was able to construct a phylogeny using various methods, including parsimony and maximum likelihood.

This was later confirmed with the relative rate test, however the theory was that this was because of metabolic rate and a lower body temperature in birds.
