Competition and cooperation in a synchronous bushcricket chorus

Competition and cooperation in a synchronous bushcricket chorus

Synchronous signalling within choruses of the same species either emerges from cooperation or competition. In our study on the katydid Mecopoda elongata, we aim to identify mechanisms driving evolution towards synchrony. The increase of signal amplitude owing to synchronous signalling and the preservation of a conspecific signal period may represent cooperative mechanisms, whereas chorus synchr...

Cohabitation and Cooperation of Chorus and MacOS

The work was carried out in four major stages. The first stage was to port the Chorus kernel on the Macintosh hardware. In the second stage we changed the way Chorus managed the hardware in order to keep the MacOS system alive. Conversely, we modified slightly the way Chorus was booted so as to present it as an application to MacOS. This led us to the third stage, which was to share system even...

Cooperation Competition Running head: A THEORY OF COOPERATION - COMPETITION A Theory of Cooperation - Competition and Beyond

This chapter is concerned with my interrelated theoretical work in the areas of cooperation competition, conflict resolution, social justice, and social relations. The theory of cooperation competition is a component of the other theories. Thus, the theory of conflict resolution is based on this theory and my Crude Law of Social Relations. My work in social justice is also based on this theory,...

Each wanted to use it first to water the garden. (They had a competitive orientation.) Each was trying to tug it away from the other and both were crying. Each was very frustrated, and neither was able to use the hose to sprinkle the flowers ...
