THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION BY NATURAL SELECTION

We revisited a classic study of morphological variation in the oldfield mouse (Peromyscus polionotus) to estimate the strength of
selection acting on pigmentation patterns and to identify the underlying genes. We measured 215 specimens collected by Francis
Sumner in the 1920s from eight populations a[r]

In this chapter, students will be able to understand: How behaviors are the result of natural selection, how innate and learned behaviors increase survival and reproductive fitness, how organisms use communication to increase fitness, the role of altruism and inclusive fitness in kin selection.

Cognitive Linguistics (CL) is an approach to the study of language informed by
both linguistics and psychology. It describes how language interfaces with cognition,
and how it adapts in the course of language usage, phylogenetically in language
evolution, ontogenetically in language acquisition, and[r]

The torsional vibration phenomenon in the running gear of reciprocating engine systems is usually dealt with by considering a series of constant inertias connected by sections of massless shafting. However in reality, a slider crank mechanism is a vibrating system with varying inertia because the ef[r]

On this base, the mechanistic MFPR code, including physically-grounded models for the fuel porosity evolution in UO2 fuel under various irradiation and thermal regimes, is refined. These modifications complete the consistent description of the fuel porosity evolution in the MFPR code and result in a n[r]

INPRO has developed heterogeneous global model to capture countries’ different policies regarding the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle in regional and global scenarios of nuclear energy evolution and applied in a number of studies performed by participants of the project.

Color pattern mimicry has long been held up as a powerful example of natural
selection. A recent study supports the theory by describing Mu¨ llerian mimicry
rings in Appalachian millipedes that are analogous to those observed in tropical
butterflies.
