Rings Reconcile Genotypic and Phenotypic Evolution within the Proteobacteria

Although prokaryotes are usually classified using molecular phylogenies instead of phenotypes after the advent of gene sequencing, neither of these methods is satisfactory because the phenotypes cannot explain the molecular trees and the trees do not fit the phenotypes. This scientific crisis still exists and the profound disconnection between these two pillars of evolutionary biology--genotype...

Kuiper Belt evolution due to dynamical friction

In this paper we study the role of dynamical friction on the evolution of a population of large objects (m > 10 g) at heliocentric distances > 70 AU in the Kuiper Belt. We show that the already flat distribution of these objects must flatten further due to nonspherically symmetric distribution of matter in the Kuiper Belt. Moreover the dynamical drag, produced by dynamical friction, causes obje...

Changes in Job Stability and Job Security: A Collective Effort to Untangle, Reconcile, and Interpret the Evidence

A t a symposium at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the fall of 1996, various researchers presented their findings on changes in long-term employment relationships in U.S. labor markets. The researchers focused on two dimensions of these relationships: " job stability , " meaning the duration of jobs or the probability of retaining or leaving a job; and " job security, " referring to the...

Models to reconcile plant science and stochasticity

Plants are modular organisms that exhibit diverse adaptations to variability. This variability can be intrinsic in nature, as in the case of cell shape or division plane stochasticity, protein distribution in a cell, variations in internal mechanical properties etc. . . (Altschuler et al., 2008; Besson and Dumais, 2011). It can also be extrinsic, as with variations in environmental conditions a...
