Domestication is one of the strongest forms of short-term, directional selection. Although selection is typically only exerted on one or a few target traits, domestication can lead to numerous changes in many seemingly unrelated phenotypes. It is unknown whether such correlated responses are due to pleiotropy or linkage between separate genetic architectures. Using three separate intercrosses b...

Effective communication requires animal signals to be readily detected by receivers in the environments in which they are typically given. Certain light conditions enhance the visibility of colour signals and these conditions can vary depending on the orientation of the sun and the position of the signaller. We tested whether Draco sumatranus gliding lizards modified their position relative to ...

Male ornaments can evolve through the exploitation of female perceptual biases such as those involved in responding to cues from food. This type of sensory exploitation may lead to confusion between the male signals and the cues that females use to find/recognize food. Such interference would be costly to females and may be one reason why females evolve resistance to the male ornaments. Using a...

This study explores the concept of fractal geometry found in Tian Ti Pagoda. Fractal is a branch mathematics describing properties and shapes various fractals. A qualitative method with an ethnographic approach used this study. Observation, field notes, interviews, documentation, literature obtained research data. The observation results were processed computationally using Lindenmayer system v...

The problem of the development abstract forms in art and their coexistence with naturalistic is one key ones Art History. In Prehistoric art, as other eras, these often coexist even within same cultural space. Their occurrence due to a number factors, disclosure which allows us reconstruct characteristics particular culture more correctly. An important role among factors played by social that f...

This effort is a description and analysis of how musical elements were written in ancient Kurdish notes, especially the Erbil art group music groups Sulaymaniyah Dohuk.The uncertainty this topic motivated conduct research. Because most available notes are devoid these ornament symbols, yet they played through listening, full symbols... Therefore, situation raised number questions for researcher...

In this study, ceilings houses have been discussed Safranbolu region, which was chosen as area. Star-formed ceiling rose ornament, is indispensable components these widely used houses, has evaluated by shape grammar impl...

The widely recognised historical ornament acanthus was used in South Asia, Southeast Europe, and other ancient civilisations. Historic civilisations frequently employed symbols ornaments their architecture to represent a specific subject matter or the aesthetic value aspect of ornamental elements for conceptual purposes. However, this study aims explore Western influence on Mughal era, especial...

The processes governing the evolution of sexual dimorphism provided a foundation for sexual selection theory. Two alternative processes, originally proposed by Darwin and Wallace, differ primarily in the timing of events creating the dimorphism. In the process advocated by Darwin, a novel ornament arises in a single sex, with no temporal separation in the origin and sex-limitation of the novel ...
