Coevolutionary Dynamics Caused by Asymmetries in Predator-Prey and Morphology-Behavior Relationships
Predator-prey interactions are the key element of ecological systems. We present the results of morphology-behavior predator-prey coevolution in a 3D physically simulated environment. The morphologies and behaviors of virtual creature predators and prey are evolved using a genetic algorithm and random one-on-one encounters in a shared environment. There are two levels of asymmetries in the mode...
متن کاملCoevolutionary clines across selection mosaics.
Much of the dynamics of coevolution may be driven by the interplay between geographic variation in reciprocal selection (selection mosaics) and the homogenizing action of gene flow. We develop a genetic model of geographically structured coevolution in which gene flow links coevolving communities that may differ in both the direction and magnitude of reciprocal selection. The results show that ...
متن کاملCoevolutionary patterns in plasminogen activation.
The generation of plasmin by plasminogen (Pg) activators (PAs) is a physiologic process in animals that dissolves blood clots and promotes wound healing, blood vessel growth, and the migration of normal and cancerous cells. Pathogenic bacteria have evolved PAs [e.g., streptokinase (SK) and staphylokinase] that exploit the Pg system to infect animals. Animal PAs have a conserved ability to cleav...
متن کاملIndividual variation in prey selection by sea otters: patterns, causes and implications
1. Longitudinal records of prey selection by 10 adult female sea otters on the Monterey Peninsula, California, from 1983 to 1990 demonstrate extreme inter-individual variation in diet. Variation in prey availability cannot explain these differences as the data were obtained from a common spatial-temporal area. 2. Individual dietary patterns persisted throughout our study, thus indicating that t...
متن کاملPrey selection by mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) in California rice fields: effect of vegetation and prey species.
Mosquitofish are widely used for biological control of mosquito larvae in rice fields, but the presence of different types of vegetation or alternative arthropod prey affects the performance of the fish. Feeding experiments were conducted in 4 rice field vegetation zones. Overall, predation was maximal in young and mature rice, moderate in the submerged naiad vegetation, and minimal in areas of...
