Evolution of Complex Food Web Structure Based on Mass Extinction
We demonstrate that complex food webs may originate from mass extinctions. For this purpose, a minimal computational model for the evolution of food webs is constructed. In the model, food web structure is represented by a kind of dynamic random graph with some biological constraints, and evolves under the condition without fitness, competition among species, nor population dynamics. It is show...
متن کاملMid Pleistocene foraminiferal mass extinction coupled with phytoplankton evolution
Understanding the interaction between climate and biotic evolution is crucial for deciphering the sensitivity of life. An enigmatic mass extinction occurred in the deep oceans during the Mid Pleistocene, with a loss of over 100 species (20%) of sea floor calcareous foraminifera. An evolutionarily conservative group, benthic foraminifera often comprise >50% of eukaryote biomass on the deep-ocean...
متن کاملA model of mass extinction.
In the last few years a number of authors have suggested that evolution may be a so-called self-organized critical phenomenon, and that critical processes might have a significant effect on the dynamics of ecosystems. In particular it has been suggested that mass extinction may arise through a purely biotic mechanism as the result of "coevolutionary avalanches". In this paper we first explore t...
متن کاملTheoretical Interpretations of Low-mass Dileptons *
An overview is given of chiral symmetry restoration at finite temperature and bary-ochemical potential. Within hadronic models of the vector correlator its implications for low-mass dilepton spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions are discussed.
متن کاملEvolution of Character in the Exegesis Attitude to Theosophical Interpretations of Quran; the Story of Ibrahim in Focus
Story is one of the best and most accessible ways which Qur'an uses for conveying the concepts and explaining its religious teachings. Quranic stories are considered as narrations a large proportion of which is devoted to the lives of the prophets. As character is one of the main elements of a narrative and also, since after Moses, the prophet Ibrahim is the most frequent character in Quranic s...
