Sentences with phrase «of adaptive evolution in»

Not exact matches

If at an early stage in his evolution it was useful for an individual to be able to adapt to a language - using community, i.e., to learn language as fast as possible, selection for this capacity might well have brought about a genetic assimilation of at least the bases for what had originally been only a learned adaptive response.

Thus, the natural selection of adaptive species in biological evolution may be looked upon as an internalized teleology, since there is no «conscious» (or self - directed) attempt to choose «desirable traits» on the part of mutating organisms.

Thus, biological evolution appears to be associated with a final causation or teleology — the reciprocal maintenance and proliferation of adaptive species over the phylogenetic scale in an evolving and stable physical universe.

Evolution is in essence weeding out less adaptive traits via death (or lack of breeding).

And what we did is, in order to figure all this out, sort of trace the path of evolution, we did a whole bunch of sort of, swapping experiments, where we swappedGAL1 for GAL3and we swapped the ancestral protein type of protein in for GAL1or for GAL3, and we even swapped the GAL1and GAL3in for the ancestral protein, in another yeast that didn't have the duplication take place; and from this whole series of experiments, we really expected to find out pretty much how the proteins have changed; and the surprise was that most of [the] adaptive change that had taken place wasn't in the protein, it was in how the two genes were regulated.

Using Niko Tinbergen's «four questions» as a guide, we will discuss the evolution of primates and emergence of the social function of the behavior (phylogeny), the development of the behavior during a individual's lifetime (ontogeny), the specific biological and chemical processes and motivations responsible for the behavior (mechanism), and how the behavior increase the fitness of individuals, allowing for its continual selection in primates (adaptive value).

As controversy continues to surround these ideas, it is important to consider that assisted evolution strategies such as these may increase the adaptive capacity of corals, perhaps allowing them to better respond to environmental and anthropogenic stressors more easily, in turn directly enhancing resilience.

The study, led by Simone Immler (Uppsala University / SciLifeLab) and in collaboration with East Anglia University, UK, may be of great importance for adaptive evolution and research on assisted reproductive technology, such as IVF.

These results imply that predators are driving the evolution of phenotypic diversity in symbiotic defense traits in this system, and that divergence in defensive morphology may provide ecological opportunities that help to fuel the adaptive radiation of this genus of midges on goldenrods.

How are microbial communities assembled in the > 5,000 - y - old subsurface of marine sediment, and do they undergo adaptive evolution or accumulate mutations due to impaired DNA repair under such energy - limited conditions?

Reproductive selection and sexual competition are systems that undergo adaptive evolution in many organisms, including throughout primate evolution, and signals of selection were found in all three populations, according to Pritchard.

We have found strong support for the important role of internal selection in shaping the adaptive evolution of body plans (i.e. selection caused by characteristics of the developmental system).
