3a). Using the software BayesTraits, we assessed transitions between flagellated/non-flagellated and host/environmental bacteria, and fit the data to a simple model where the two traits are independent, and a complex model where rate of change in flagella status was dependant on host association s...
The calcium content of garnets obtained by EPMA was used as an internal standard for LA-ICP-MS data recalculation. The internal reproducibility of BCR-2 analyses was within 5% (1SD, N = 15) for most of the analyzed isotopes, except a few heavy (Lu, W, U; within 6%–8%) and light...

systems in TRMs enhanced their susceptibility to infections by lytic phages. This trade-off was clearly mediated by thensrRgene as ΔnsrRshowed increased susceptibility to a range of different phages. These findings are in line with previous studies wherein phages susceptibility represents an evolutiona...
(1996a)environmental complexity thesis,which inspired my own thesis, was an attempt within the modern framework of evolutionary theory to make tenable earlier ideas from John Dewey and Herbert Spencer about the continuity between life and mind: the mind seen as a natural consequence of the ...
This was suggested as a possibility in Dembski (1998). Dembski, himself, makes this clear in a number of writings. See for example Dembski (1999). We present in this paper a view of the nature and practice of science that, while commonly held by practicing scientists, is certainly not th...
but natural selection was not widely accepted as the most important evolutionary mechanism until the 1940s (Hull1973; Bowler1983; Ruse1999). It is likely DWM that most frequently comes to mind when most people hear the word “evolution” (e.g., most modern polls on “evolution” refer to ...

structures might result in different evolutionary modes. To test this hypothesis, we developed a way to formulate multiple classes of mathematical models, each tailored to a different class of tumour, within a single general framework, and we implemented this framework as a stochastic computer ...
These include cases of one-to-one whole-chromosome paralogs, (chromosomes 1 and 11; 7 and 12) as well as examples of centric insertion (e.g., the paralog of chromosome 3 was inserted within the paralog of chromosome 15 to form chromosome 8; the paralog of chromosome 17 was inserted ...
