Asexual Evolution: Can Species Exist without Sex?
Most explanations for the existence of species involve a role for sex. A new study of a group of asexual rotifers supports the idea that selection for a common ecological niche can produce a pattern that mimics sexual species, even in the absence of sex.
متن کاملCan Vision Exist Without Somatosensation?
The interconnection between vision and somatosensation is already well-established and is further supplemented by the evolutionary link between eyes and photoreceptors, and the functional connection between photosensation and thermoreception. However, our analysis hypothesizes a possibility that vision is not just linked to somatosensation, but may not exist without somatosensation. Surprisingl...

متن کاملHOW THE KONDO EFFECT CAN EXIST IN Gd INTERMETALLIC COMPOUNDS
Based on the crystal and magnetic structural properties of some Gd intermetallic compounds, it is shown that with increasing conduction electron concentration, Gd experiences electronic and magnetic instability, and that these behaviors point to the appearance of Kondo Lattice. We suggest that the conduction electrons have gained local character. It is shown that Kondo effect should be observed...
متن کاملEvolution without Sex, Drugs and Boolean Functions
Enough cannot be said about Evolution, a theory for which was first formulated by Darwin and Wallace, which drives life and, perhaps, is the reason for the emergence of the genetic information that forms its basis. At a very high level, evolution is an iterative process which takes feedback from an environment in order to refine existing information and bias it towards that which is more likely...
