Evolutionary Ecology: Old Ideas Percolate into Ecology
A novel model derived from percolation theory suggests that phase polyphenism may have initially evolved in locusts as a behavioural strategy to reduce the connectivity between patches of vulnerable prey, so reducing predation risk.
متن کاملEcology of ideas and ecology's ideas
Purpose – The assumption of ecological thinking as a main ideology for social systems implies many relevant changes concerning the relation between social and ecological systems. Changes meaning a deep redefinition of goals and strategies pursued for centuries by human communities, like the uncertainty reduction in relation to resources’ availability and management, defence respect to variance ...
متن کاملEpidemiology meets evolutionary ecology
The rapid expansion and increasing mobility of human populations make understanding the evolution of parasite virulence a public health priority. The potential for the swift evolution of virulence in response to changes in host ecology has motivated the integration of evolutionary ecology with epidemiological theory, as part of the emerging field of evolutionary epidemiology. Virulence is the p...
متن کاملEcology and Evolutionary Biology
Become a ruthless, critical editor create multiple drafts based on thoughtful editing. Start with an outline/list – which you should think about critically after you think you have it all down. Then revise that list to improve the logical flow, and add or remove some points. Use your first draft to write all/any ideas you have. The second draft should be a small part of the first draf...
متن کاملProteomics in evolutionary ecology.
Evolutionary ecologists are traditionally gene-focused, as genes propagate phenotypic traits across generations and mutations and recombination in the DNA generate genetic diversity required for evolutionary processes. As a consequence, the inheritance of changed DNA provides a molecular explanation for the functional changes associated with natural selection. A direct focus on proteins on the ...
