Fig. 1: Responses to sex-specific selection through predation over seven generations. Shown are male mandible size (mm) (a), male abdomen size (mg) (b), male body size (mg) (c), female abdomen size (mg) (d) and female body size (mg) (e) (population means). Black circles are ...
Research has shown that this behavior is instinctive and appears without cultural training in human infants [source: Barragan et al.]. It also appears in some primate species. Why would natural selection favor an instinct to help others? One theory revolves around kinship. People who are related...
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 expectations) that are updated to various brain areas. This attribution serves to illustrate a...

Selection for Malaria Resistance: A Closer Look Since Allison and Haldane's work, the action of natural selection on genetic resistance to malaria has been shown in a multitude of contexts (Kwiatkowski, 2005). Indeed, the sickle-cell variant (i.e., the HbSallele) has been identified in ...
Finally, whatever success there may be in treating vulnerability in any of the ways just mentioned, it will always be a part of the human condition, and this fact in itself is puzzling. Keywords vulnerability capacity capability measurement model tool knowledge action power politics transf...
The selection of an appropriate route for ear medication is contingent upon the nature of the disease and the physicochemical properties of the drug in question. Typically, antibiotics and antifungal drugs are administered via topical drops and gels [165]. Local administration of drugs to the ear ...
It is worth noting that the selection and optimization of submodules can be flexibly changed; this integrated strategy may not be limited to NPs screening. Furthermore, this strategy has the potential to derive automated pipelines from prototype workflows to improve the convenience of use while ...
The Roma diaspora can be considered the last human migration of South Asian origin into Europe4. Thus, the evolutionary similarities driven by adaptive selection between the Roma and their local European hosts (Romanians) can help us identify very strong and recent selective pressures prevalent in ...
