Why are clicks so exclusive ?
Clicks occur abundantly in the languages of southern Africa, but are not found anywhere else. This is unexpected since the clicks seem to be both auditorily salient and easy to produce. This paper suggests that the reason for the areal skewness of clicks lies in the African phonetictypological environment rather than in production or perception constraints. In particular, clicks are limited to ...
متن کاملWhy Are Pvm and Mpi so Diierent?
PVM and MPI are often compared. These comparisons usually start with the unspoken assumption that PVM and MPI represent diierent solutions to the same problem. In this paper we show that, in fact, the two systems often are solving diierent problems. In cases where the problems do match but the solutions chosen by PVM and MPI are diierent, we explain the reasons for the diierences. Usually such ...
متن کاملWhy are sex and recombination so common?
The abundance of sex and recombination is still one of the most puzzling questions in the theory of evolution: Most models find that recombination can evolve, but only under a limited range of parameters. Here we review the major models and supporting evidence, concentrating on recent approaches where more realistic assumptions help explain the evolution of sex and recombination under a wider p...
متن کاملWhy Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal toxins are so effective: unique features of their mode of action.
The spore-forming bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis produces intracellular inclusions comprised of protoxins active on several orders of insects. These highly effective and specific toxins have great potential in agriculture and for the control of disease-related insect vectors. Inclusions ingested by larvae are solubilized and converted to active toxins in the midgut. There are two major classe...
متن کاملWhy are so many trees hollow?
In many living trees, much of the interior of the trunk can be rotten or even hollowed out. Previously, this has been suggested to be adaptive, with microbial or animal consumption of interior wood producing a rain of nutrients to the soil beneath the tree that allows recycling of those nutrients into new growth via the trees roots. Here I propose an alternative (non-exclusive) explanation: suc...
