"Adaptation" refers to evolutionary changes in organisms over generations, while "acclimation" is a short-term physiological response to environmental changes.
On this view, having an explanation allows us to evaluate a MAIS' recommendations, which some argue is necessary for assessing the trustworthiness of such systems (see Ribeiro et al. 2016; Mittelstadt et al. 2019). Issues of explainability have become problematic due to the prominent view that...
In the Anthropocene, the era when the imprint of humans on nature is pervasive across the planet, it is of utmost importance to understand human relationships with other species. The aesthetics of nature, and of species, is one of the values that plays a
Hope and love are popular themes of literature and art in many human societies. The human physiology of love and hope is less well understood. This review presents evidence that the lack of love and/or hope delays growth disturbs development and maturati
Variations in a population lead to adaptations. Anadaptationis a characteristic that increases an organism's chances of surviving, mating, and reproducing. The peacock’s tail is such an adaptation. So is the snake’s hinged jaw, which enables it to eat larger prey like rodents and frogs, wh...

It has gotten me more motivated to expand this hippo research into some novel directions. A little more about the paper on Twitter. Speaking of data, here are some. Duty factor (DF; fraction of stride cycle that a given foot is in contact with the ground; i.e., 1 means the feet ...
These moments require adaptation, resilience, and a positive mindset to navigate successfully. 你是否喜欢生活中新的事物或者改变 Do you like the new things and change during life? I do enjoy experiencing new things and embracing change in life. It brings variety, growth, and opportunities for ...
It is usual to asses alternative optimization search algorithms in terms of the number of trials necessary to approach the optimum. In case of adaptive algorithms implemented in the real systems such assesment seems inadequate, as the loss of quality due to the exploration of the vicinity of the...
What does the theory of evolution contribute to conservation biology? What are modern scientific explanations of evolution? Which evolutionary mechanism results in adaptation? Is evolutionary psychology a science? What are some common misconceptions about human evolution?
