What, if Anything, Is an Evolutionary Novelty?
The idea of phenotypic novelty appears throughout the evolutionary literature. Novelties have been defined so broadly as to make the term meaningless and so narrowly as to apply only to a limited number of spectacular structures. Here I examine some of the available definitions of phenotypic novelty and argue that the modern synthesis is ill equipped at explaining novelties. I then discuss thre...
متن کاملBehavioral syndromes: an ecological and evolutionary overview.
Recent studies suggest that populations and species often exhibit behavioral syndromes; that is, suites of correlated behaviors across situations. An example is an aggression syndrome where some individuals are more aggressive, whereas others are less aggressive across a range of situations and contexts. The existence of behavioral syndromes focuses the attention of behavioral ecologists on lim...
متن کاملRheumatoid arthritis: an evolutionary force in biologics.
The advent of biologic therapy has transformed the outcomes of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), but has also highlighted important issues for their development. Early attempts at T-cell driven therapies gave mixed results with difficulties extrapolating from non-human models to first in man trials. There is currently one T-cell modulating therapy - abatacept - licenced for use in RA. Cy...
متن کاملAn evolutionary behavioral model for decision making
For autonomous agents the problem of deciding what to do next becomes increasingly complex when acting in unpredictable and dynamic environments while pursuing multiple and possibly conflicting goals. One of the most relevant behavior-based models that tries to deal with this problem is the behavior network model proposed by Maes. This model proposes a set of behaviors as purposive perception–a...
متن کاملFitness and Novelty in Evolutionary Art
In this paper the effects of introducing novelty search in evolutionary art are explored. Our algorithm combines fitness and novelty metrics to frame image evolution as a multi-objective optimisation problem, promoting the creation of images that are both suitable and diverse. The method is illustrated by using two evolutionary art engines for the evolution of figurative objects and context fre...
