Fitness consequences of delayed maturity in female wood ducks
Age at maturity has been suggested to be an important life-history trait with substantial potential for influencing the evolution of life histories. Using known reproductive histories of 90 female wood ducks (Aix sponsa) from a long-term study (1982–96), we investigated the fitness consequences of changes in age at maturity. Female wood ducks that attained sexual maturity as yearlings had a sig...
متن کاملGlobal quantitative predictions of complex laser dynamics.
We demonstrate unprecedented agreement between a theoretical two-dimensional bifurcation diagram and the corresponding experimental stability map of an optically injected semiconductor laser over a large range of relevant injection parameter values. The bifurcation diagram encompasses both local and global bifurcations mapping out regions of regular, chaotic, and multistable behavior in conside...
متن کاملQuantitative Predictions Orchestrate Visual Signaling in Drosophila
Vision influences behavior, but ongoing behavior also modulates vision in animals ranging from insects to primates. The function and biophysical mechanisms of most such modulations remain unresolved. Here, we combine behavioral genetics, electrophysiology, and high-speed videography to advance a function for behavioral modulations of visual processing in Drosophila. We argue that a set of motio...
متن کاملObtaining Quantitative Predictions from Monotone Relationships
Tasks such as forecasting, diagnosis, and planning frequently require quantitative predictions . Typically, quantitative predictions are obtained by characterizing a system in terms of algebraic relationships and then using these relationships to compute quantitative predictions from numerical data . For real-life systems, such as mainframe operating systems, an algebraic characterization is of...
متن کاملPredicting performance on text: delayed versus immediate predictions and tests.
Delayed judgments of learning for word pairs are more accurate than immediate judgments of learning when the memory test is delayed. In the present experiment, I investigated a similar paradigm with text. Participants predicted performance on texts either immediately after reading the texts or after a delay following the reading of other texts, and tests were given either immediately or after a...
