The device that revolutionized marine organismal biology.
As recently as 50 years ago we had very little information on where marine mammals and seabirds went once they plunged beneath the sea surface. Though at times fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of these animals breathing in between dives, researchers had no systematic way to quantify their underwater behavior. The apparent ability of these animals to migrate long distances and execute long, d...
متن کاملHow Berger, Felzenbaum and Fraenkel Revolutionized Covering - Systems the Same Way that George Boole Revolutionized Logic
The Berger-Felzenbaum-Fraenkel approach to Covering Systems is exposited. In particular their gorgeous proof of the famous an = an−1 theorem for exact covering systems (found independently by Jamie Simpson), is reviewed, and the analogy of their approach to Boolean tautologies in Disjunctive Normal Form is pointed out.
متن کاملRNAi: a discovery that revolutionized biomedical researches
One of the most important breakthroughs in modern biology was discovering that double chain small or large RNA molecules are able to regulate gene expression. Formerly it was thought RNAs have just two broad functions in cells: Single-stranded messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are vital intermediaries in gene expression, transmitting information between DNA and protein. Ribosomal and transfer RNAs have st...
متن کاملLanguage: the perspective from organismal biology.
The evolution of language and its mechanisms has been a topic of intense speculation and debate, particularly considering the question of innate endowment. Modern biological sciences - neurobiology and neuroethology - have made great strides in understanding proximate and ultimate causes of behavior. These insights are generally ignored in the debate regarding linguistic knowledge, especially i...
متن کاملNew Frontiers for Organismal Biology
June 2013 / Vol. 63 No. 6 www.biosciencemag.org have generated extensive fundamental knowledge that now has us superbly positioned for “returning to the organism” (Stillman et al. 2011). The challenge is to extend, integrate, and exploit the insights from “outward” and “inward” gene-oriented biology to develop a deeper understanding of individual organisms’ higher-order emergent characteristics...
