Speciation in Digital Organisms
Current estimates of the number of species on Earth range from four to forty million total species. Why are there so many species? The answer must include both ecology and evolution. Ecology looks at the interactions between coexisting species, while evolution tracks them through time. Both are required to understand aspects of environments which promote speciation, and which promote species pe...
متن کاملSpeciation in cave-dwelling organisms
system for testing evolutionary and biogeographic hypotheses because of their isolation, simplicity of community structure and specialization. Adaptation to cave environments promotes the regression of functionless (unused) characters across a broad taxonomic range, in concert with evolutionary change in other morphological traits. Change typically involves the degeneration of eyes and loss of ...
متن کاملCobalt speciation and bioavailability in marine organisms
We describe comparative studies, using double-radiolabelling techniques, on the uptake and retention of cobalt species in a simple marine food chain which includes phytoplankton (Dunaliella tertiolecta and Chaetoceros pseudocurviseturn), mixed copepods (mainly Centropages sp.), and fish (the sea perch Serranus scnba). Retention of cobalt from the diet was also studied for the latter 2 organisms...
متن کاملAdaptation in Micro-Organisms
all the humdrum of mental undressing, dressing, shaving, etc., there is the chance reward of being confidential ear to what may never be so well expressed or thought of again. The contributors of the "relatively brief" presentations are six in number. Alex Bavelas talks on "Communication patterns in problem-solving groups"; Ivor A. Richards, on "Communication between men: Meaning and language";...
متن کاملMicro-organisms in gastroenteritis.
We present bacteriological and virological findings together with salient clinical features from a prospective study of 447 children aged under 2 years admitted to hospital with infectious gastroenteritis. Putative pathogenic micro-organisms were identified in the stools of 75% of these children. Eight identifiably distinct groups of viruses, found on electron microscopy and tissue culture were...
