Behavioral drive versus behavioral inertia in evolution: a null model approach.
Some biologists embrace the classical view that changes in behavior inevitably initiate or drive evolutionary changes in other traits, yet others note that behavior sometimes inhibits evolutionary changes. Here we develop a null model that quantifies the impact of regulatory behaviors (specifically, thermoregulatory behaviors) on body temperature and on performance of ectotherms. We apply the m...
متن کاملBehavioral drive or behavioral inhibition in evolution: subspecific diversification in Holarctic passerines.
Behavioral changes have long been hypothesized to be an important driver of evolutionary diversification in animals, as they expose individuals to new environmental pressures and thus favor evolutionary divergence. There have been few empirical tests of this hypothesis, however, and the mechanisms linking behavioral changes and diversification processes remain controversial. We show here that H...
متن کاملAn algebraic approach for behavioral model decomposition
This paper presents a constrained decomposition methodology for discrete-event models. Partial models are obtained and used for model-based fault detection and isolation. The constraints of the decomposition ensures that the resulting partial model is decoupled from a given subset of inputs. The constrained decomposition method is formulated using pair algebra concepts as an iterative algorithm...
متن کاملPeromyscus burrowing: A model system for behavioral evolution.
A major challenge to understanding the genetic basis of complex behavioral evolution is the quantification of complex behaviors themselves. Deer mice of the genus Peromyscus vary in their burrowing behavior, which leaves behind a physical trace that is easily preserved and measured. Moreover, natural burrowing behaviors are recapitulated in the lab, and there is a strong heritable component. He...
متن کاملOn behavioral process model similarity matching: A centroid-based approach
As business process models have a broad scope of applications, e.g., in science or in business administration the problem of handling large amounts of process models arises. One helpful tool for dealing with this amount of models is to reduce it by using similarity measures in order to detect similar models that can be merged. A set of similar models may be replaced by one model. As a pure simi...
