Ecomorphological convergence in planktivorous surgeonfishes.
Morphological convergence plays a central role in the study of evolution. Often induced by shared ecological specialization, homoplasy hints at underlying selective pressures and adaptive constraints that deterministically shape the diversification of life. Although midwater zooplanktivory has arisen in adult surgeonfishes (family Acanthuridae) at least four independent times, it represents a c...
متن کاملPerspectives on science from across the atlantic.
Science serves its readers as a forum for the presentation and discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science, including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view, rather than by publishing only material on which a consensus has been reached. Accordingly, all articles published in Science-including editorials, news and comment, and book reviews-are signed ...
متن کاملGoing with the flow: ecomorphological variation across aquatic flow regimes: an introduction to the symposium.
Understanding the relationships between the morphology of organisms and the environments in which they live is a broad and unifying goal in fields ranging from organismal biology to ecology to evolutionary biology. Life in aquatic systems is particularly interesting because of the physical challenges presented by water and the broad array of flow regimes to which organisms have adapted, ranging...
متن کاملThe Convergence Coefficient across Political Systems
Formal work on the electoral model often suggests that parties or candidates should locate themselves at the electoral mean. Recent research has found no evidence of such convergence. In order to explain nonconvergence, the stochastic electoral model is extended by including estimates of electoral valence. We introduce the notion of a convergence coefficient, c. It has been shown that high valu...
متن کاملConvergence across States and Regions
AN IMPORTANT economic question is whether poor countries or regions tend to converge toward rich ones. We want to know, for example, whether the poor countries of Africa, South Asia, and Latin America will grow faster than the developed countries, whether the south of Italy will become like its north, whether and how fast the eastern regions of Germany will attain the prosperity of the western ...
