Behaviourally Mediated Phenotypic Selection in a Disturbed Coral Reef Environment

Natural and anthropogenic disturbances are leading to changes in the nature of many habitats globally, and the magnitude and frequency of these perturbations are predicted to increase under climate change. Globally coral reefs are one of the most vulnerable ecosystems to climate change. Fishes often show relatively rapid declines in abundance when corals become stressed and die, but the process...

Disturbed sleep in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

173 A 17-year-old white male with Duchenne muscular dystrophy presented to the pediatric pulmonary clinic for a follow-up evaluation after being hospitalized for pneumonia. During the hospital stay he was noted to have nocturnal desaturation intermittently during sleep. The patient has been wheelchair bound since age 12 years. His father’s two current concerns include the patient’s difficulty s...

Robust Behaviourally Correct Learning

Intuitively, a class of functions is robustly learnable if not only the class itself, but also all of the transformations of the class under natural transformations (such as via general recursive operators) are learnable. Fulk [Ful90] showed the existence of a non-trivial class which is robustly learnable under the criterion Ex. However, several of the hierarchies (such as the anomaly hierarchi...
