Humans and primates: New model organisms for evolutionary developmental biology?
If the animals in George Orwell’s Animal Farm had been biologists, they might have proclaimed that while all organisms are unique, some are more unique than others. Perhaps with some justification, we humans often apply that essentialist view to our own especially interesting phenotype. We are the only striding, tailless bipeds; we have absurdly long ontogenies for our body size; our brains are...
متن کاملThe biology of digital organisms
Christoph Adami Jet Propulsion Laboratory, MC 126-347, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA. Historically, evolutionary biology has generally been an observational and theoretical science. The experimental verification of evolutionary mechanisms is a challenging undertaking for several reasons: most organisms have comparatively long generation times; there are difficultie...
متن کاملSensory biology: linking the internal and external ecologies of marine organisms
Contributions to this Theme Section (TS) articulate an increasingly powerful synthesis in ecology: understanding animal perceptual abilities lends insight into ecological interactions that, in turn, determine fundamental properties of populations of organisms and communities. This synthesis, often referred to as sensory ecology (e.g. Dusenbery 1992), has its antecedents in diverse fields rangin...
متن کاملAntitumor Peptides from Marine Organisms
The biodiversity of the marine environment and the associated chemical diversity constitute a practically unlimited resource of new antitumor agents in the field of the development of marine bioactive substances. In this review, the progress on studies of antitumor peptides from marine sources is provided. The biological properties and mechanisms of action of different marine peptides are descr...
متن کاملBiomedical Compounds from Marine organisms
The Ocean, which is called the ‘mother of origin of life’, is also the source of structurally unique natural products that are mainly accumulated in living organisms. Several of these compounds show pharmacological activities and are helpful for the invention and discovery of bioactive compounds, primarily for deadly diseases like cancer, acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome (AIDS), arthritis, e...
