How might group selection explain the major evolutionary transitions?
The central idea of group selection is that an individual will reduce its fitness so that the mean fitness of a group (of possibly non-related individuals) may increase. This is relevant to the major evolutionary transitions where an individual will cooperate by stopping reproduction on its own and reproduce instead as part of a group. Explaining the major evolutionary transitions should simply...
متن کامل'It might happen or it might not': how patients with multiple sclerosis explain their perception of prognostic risk.
This qualitative study aimed to examine risk perception and seriousness of wheelchair dependence in patients with multiple sclerosis. Perceived absolute risk and perceived seriousness were assessed for 2-year, 10-year and lifetime prognosis of wheelchair dependence using visual analogue scales (VAS). In semi-structured interviews, patients (n = 85) were asked to elucidate these VAS scores. Expl...
متن کاملIncreased neural responses to empathy for pain might explain how acute stress increases prosociality
Recent behavioral investigations suggest that acute stress can increase prosocial behavior. Here, we investigated whether increased empathy represents a potential mechanism for this finding. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we assessed the effects of acute stress on neural responses related to automatic and regulatory components of empathy for pain as well as subsequent prosocial be...
متن کاملA mechanism to explain how regular exercise might reduce the risk for clinical prostate cancer.
Epidemiological studies report that regular physical activity can reduce the risk for prostate cancer. This study was conducted to investigate possible mechanisms to explain the epidemiological data. Serum from sedentary controls or men with regular (5 days/week) aerobic exercise was used to stimulate lymph node cancer of the prostate (LNCaP) tumor cells in vitro. Growth and apoptosis were asse...
متن کاملHow Spiroplasma might swim.
Spiroplasmas are small helical bacteria without rigid walls. They have a cytoskeleton in the form of a flat ribbon that runs the length of the cell. In an ordinary liquid medium, a cell spins about its long axis, but it does not translate. In a gel-like medium, containing a viscous agent like methylcellulose, it moves rapidly in a direction parallel to its long axis. Here I suggest how a cytosk...
