Plastic parasites: sophisticated strategies for survival and reproduction?
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity in life history traits, behaviours, and strategies is ubiquitous in biological systems. It is driven by variation in selection pressures across environmental gradients and operates under constraints imposed by trade-offs. Phenotypic plasticity has been thoroughly documented for multicellular taxa, such as insects, birds and mammals, and in many cases the underlyin...
متن کاملSophisticated Players and Sophisticated Agents
A sophisticated player is an individual who takes the action of the opponents, in a strategic situation, as determined by decision of rational opponents, and acts accordingly. A sophisticated agent is rational in the choice of his action, but ignores the fact that he is part of a strategic situation. We discuss a notion of equilibrium with sophisticated agents, we provide conditions for its exi...
متن کاملThe sophisticated survival strategies of the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes.
The function of the ActA protein of Listeria monocytogenes has been partially elucidated. These results illustrate the sophistication with which intracellular pathogens like Listeria use the host cell to their advantage, and have provided new insights into some of the molecular mechanisms of complex cell functions such as actin-promoted cell motility. The clarification of these processes is of ...
متن کاملThe long-term survival chances of young massive star clusters
I review the long-term survival chances of young massive star clusters (YMCs), hallmarks of intense starburst episodes often associated with violent galaxy interactions. In particular, I address the key question as to whether at least some of these YMCs can be considered proto-globular clusters (GCs). In the absence of significant external perturbations, the key factor determining a cluster’s l...
متن کاملA-Life - Increasing Survival Chances in Avalanches by Wearable Sensors
Avalanches are one of the major threats to life in high mountain terrain. Once buried by an avalanche, survival chances dramatically drop from 92% after 15 minutes to only 30% after 35 minutes mostly due to the lack of oxygen. It is therefore extremely important to rescue any victims as fast as possible in order to maximize survival chances. Today’s technology, so called electronic avalanche be...
