Genetic assimilation refers to the process of selection by which phenotypes that were originally expressed only after an environmental stimulus become genetically fixed (Waddington, 1942, Waddington, 1959). Wad
Dietary specializations in animals lead to adaptations in morphology, anatomy and physiology. Neotropical bats, with their high taxonomic and trophic diversity, offer a unique perspective on diet-driven evolutionary adaptations. Here we assess the metabolic response to different dietary sugars among wild-...
i.e. cultural pluralisation, has been seen as a challenge to the effortsof cultural homogenisation typically undertaken by nation states. And thestress on transnational structures underlines the claim that migration and itseffects need to be seen as part of ongoing globalisation processes.Multicultural...
the knowledge about the complex regulatory network around GS, and the expert knowledge on parameter values, all come with uncertainties. This suggested to us that rather than to come to a binary decision as to which of the two models
These Wndings extend those of related studies by show- ing that CEs of this type actually correspond to the second phase of a bi-phasic pattern of speciWc perception–action interference. M. Grosjean · J. Zwickel · W. Prinz Department of Psychology, Max Planck Institute for Human ...
Practically, data assimilation usually refers to the use of available measurements to correct a model’s first prediction in space and time. It allows the optimal combination of model and observations to give improved forecasts and maximize the benefit from the observations. Assimilation techniques ...
(omnivorous), fruits and nectar. The sample size varied among genera from 1 to 52 individuals (Extended Data Table1). The data are presented as mean values ± standard deviation for a sample size greater than three individuals.b, General curves to describe the temporal pattern of sugar ...
Cognitive development refers to how a person constructs thought processes to gain understanding of his or her world through the interaction of genetic and learned factors. The development of new cognitive structures (mental maps or schemas) will be a result of the individual's ability to adapt ...
As part of a project to develop and test a non-invasive, brain-controlled lower body exoskeleton for SCI patients, we implemented a new rehabilitation paradigm in which patients interacted with a rich immersive vir- tual reality environment7 (VRE). In this VRE, patients interacted with the ...
