Searching for behavioral homologies: Shared generative rules for expansion and narrowing down of the locomotor repertoire in Arthropods and Vertebrates
We use immobility as an origin and reference for the measurement of locomotor behavior; speed, the direction of walking and the direction of facing as the three degrees of freedom shaping fly locomotor behavior, and cocaine as the parameter inducing a progressive transition in and out of immobility. In this way we expose and quantify the generative rules that shape fruit fly locomotor behavior,...
متن کاملComputing Minimum Area Homologies
Calculating and categorizing the similarity of curves is a fundamental problem which has generated much recent interest. However, to date there are no implementations of these algorithms for curves on surfaces with provable guarantees on the quality of the measure. In this paper, we present a similarity measure for any two cycles that are homologous, where we calculate the minimum area of any h...
متن کاملLandmark-based Morphometric and Meristic Analysis of Serranidae
The landmark-based morphometric and meristic analysis of the kelp grouper (Epinephelus bruneus), red spotted grouper (E. akaara) and seven-banded grouper (E. septemfasciatus) were performed to compare the differentiation of overall body shape and structure. The measurements of the morphometric dimensions were observed in 25 parts (truss dimension: 16 parts; head part dimension: 9 parts) of 38 m...
متن کاملHomologies of the Anterior Teeth in Indriidae
Schwartz ('74) proposed revised homologies of the deciduous and permanent anterior teeth in living lemuriform primates of the family Indriidae. Gingerich ('77) described a juvenile specimen of Avahi and emphasized the importance of functional integrity in controlling the pattern of dental reduction in primates, neither of which supports Schwartz's interpretation. Schwartz ('78) recently reitera...
متن کاملGenetic and base sequence homologies in bacillus.
influences are negligible, and that the changing environment and the nature of the gene product primarily determine those genes which evolve most rapidly. On the other hand, map position influences on evolutionary rate could be of such great importance that they provide selection pressure for map rearrangement. Because the genome of Bacillus subtilis is replicated in sequential order from one e...
