conceptual expansions of self-determination of peoples: from independence of colonial territories to right of democracy for all

if the reason of many conflicts in the world politics is scrutinized, majority of them rooted in self-determination. the conceptual transformation of the principle of self-determination could be studied in three historic periods. first, it aimed to legitimize the independence of new states which were created of defeated and collapsed empires in the aftermath of first world war. but after the se...

Allelic genealogies in sporophytic self-incompatibility systems in plants.

Expectations for the time scale and structure of allelic genealogies in finite populations are formed under three models of sporophytic self-incompatibility. The models differ in the dominance interactions among the alleles that determine the self-incompatibility phenotype: In the SSIcod model, alleles act codominantly in both pollen and style, in the SSIdom model, alleles form a dominance hier...

Auxin, Self-Organisation, and the Colonial Nature of Plants

Evolution has provided at least two particularly successful independent solutions to the problems of multicellularity - animals and higher plants. An obvious requirement for successful multicellularity is communication between different parts of the organism, both locally, for example between neighbouring cells, and over very long distances. Recent advances in understanding hormone signalling n...

Simulation of selected genealogies.

Algorithms for generating genealogies with selection conditional on the sample configuration of n genes in one-locus, two-allele haploid and diploid models are presented. Enhanced integro-recursions using the ancestral selection graph, introduced by S. M. Krone and C. Neuhauser (1997, Theor. Popul. Biol. 51, 210-237), which is the non-neutral analogue of the coalescent, enables accessible simul...
