متن کاملWhat's wrong with inclusive fitness?
reconstructed for dinosaurs are realistic, because other types of curve might fit better, and few data at their lower ends are currently available. A third crucial question is how birds and their immediate dinosaurian relatives became small. Erickson [1], we think, misstates our results [10,11] when he says: 'It was posited that selection favored reduced body size because it enabled decreases i...
متن کاملWhat is wrong with absolute individual fitness?
One of the most basic facts about evolution is that fitness is a relative concept. It does not matter how well an organism survives and reproduces, only that it does so better than other organisms bearing alternative traits. Nevertheless, many evolutionary arguments are framed in terms of absolute individual fitness. The absolute fitness criterion (AFC) can be justified in terms of relative fit...

Numerous views have been expressed by commentators and writers about the literary aspect and the meaning of the Qurchr('39')anic phrase "There is nothing like Him".

The literary illusion is that "ka" seems to be redundant and the semantic illusion is the word ‘like’ indirectly proves the...
متن کاملFitness, inclusive fitness, and optimization
Individual-as-maximizing agent analogies result in a simple understanding of the functioning of the biological world. Identifying the conditions under which individuals can be regarded as fitness maximizing agents is thus of considerable interest to biologists. Here, we compare different concepts of fitness maximization, and discuss within a single framework the relationship between Hamilton’s ...
