Evolution - Natural Selection, Adaptation, Genetics: The central argument of Darwin’s theory of evolution starts with the existence of hereditary variation. Experience with animal and plant breeding had demonstrated to Darwin that variations can be deve
The landing positions of Figure 4a are shown in terms of the mean wind direction, with the relative wind speed and standard deviation of the wind direction shown by the gray regions radius and angle, respectively. The five trials that traveled the furthest in the wind were all natural samaras...
to start appearing in homozygotes. A new dominant mutation, however, is immediately visible to natural selection because its effect on fitness is seen in heterozygotes. Once an advantageous allele has reached a high frequency, deleterious alleles are necessarily rare and thus mostly present ...

(Wigner, 1960). A sequel to this essay in the context of Big Data,The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data, argues that the accurate selection of a mathematical model ceases its importance when compensated bybig enoughdata (Halevy et al., 2009). This insight is particularly important for tasks ...
Schematic overview of belief updates for active inference under discrete Markovian models. The left panel lists the belief updating equations, associating various updates with action, perception, policy selection, precision and learning. The left panel assigns the variables (sufficient statistics or expecta...
A series of local drought-proofing measures were identified, including seed selection, intercropping, and small-scale irrigation. Drought-coping mechanisms, such as sale of livestock and wage labor outside the community, were also mentioned. Going beyond focus group discussions, the communit...
