Most organisms do not impact grapevine growth and fruit production, but some organisms enter into a symbiotic relationship with grapevines or render other services, while other organisms compete with the vines for resources, and yet others eat them or invade them as disease-causing pathogens. Weeds...
Species also interact with other species that require the same resources. Consequently, interspecific competition can alter the sizes of many species' populations at the same time. Experiments demonstrate that when species compete for a limited resource, one species eventually drives the populations of ...
Memory is organized into informational "genetic'' patterns that exploit CPU time for self-replication. Mutation generates new forms, and evolution proceeds by natural selection as different "genotypes'' compete for CPU time and memory space. In addition, new genotypes appear which exploit other "...
(i.e., simpler) RNA-like template molecules replicate more quickly and thus out-compete longer templates (Mills et al.1967; Kacian et al.1972; Breaker and Joyce1994), impeding complexification. Certain conditions can help to resist the invasion of these ‘parasitic’ short molecules (Szathmáry...
(see Sect.15.2.1.2; Hünken et al.2008). However, prokaryotes can also compete with phytoplankton for limited essential nutrients, which can manifest in the direct lysis of phytoplankton cells or the production of algicidal and anti-microbial molecules, respectively (Amaro et al.2005; Seyedsay...
The model illustrates how hard it can be for an invasive species to thrive even if its fitness is greater than that of any of the native competitors. When native species have a mutualistic relationship, the community needs to be treated as a superorganism that the invader must compete with as...
Within any species there will be some individuals that are better able to compete for food, mates, and other resources, and they will be more likely than others to produce more offspring. Scientists would now say that they have a greater fitness. To the extent that their fitness is ...
Once an experiment begins, replication ensues, and multiple organisms arise and compete with one another. When an Avidian replicates, its offspring is randomly placed in one of eight positions surrounding the parent organism, effectively killing the previous resident. Speed of replication therefore defin...
There have been no such good conditions for other species to evolved their human-like intelligence. I'm not joking but what are we going to do if a *creature* sitting behind us is having much higher IQs than we are ? Compete, kill or co-live ? Please analyze these terms biolo...
In the present disclosure, the Applicants describe methods to regulate the percent of PUFAs within the lipids and oils of PUFA-producing oleaginous organisms, by regulating the activity of a host organism's native DAG ATs. Specifically, since oil biosynthesis is expected to compete with polyunsatur...
