Our model naturally generates population activity at two different timescales: the slow behavioral timescale at which the rat navigates through space and a fast theta timescale at which trajectories are compressed into theta sequences.
The quality of this prediction is dependent on the timescale at which peer activity is included in the analysis, so that the optimal timescale for peer prediction provides a measure of the temporal resolution of assembly formation.
Bacteria have developed resistance against every antibiotic at a rate that is alarming considering the timescale at which new antibiotics are developed.
We first tested whether stimulus related information carried by patterns (i.e., stimulus specificity of patterns) depends on the choice of the timescale at which patterns are investigated.
By examining the pattern of long-range LD, we did not find evidence of an ongoing selective sweep within a temporal frame of ∼25000 years (the timescale at which a selective sweep left a signature in the pattern of LD, [33]).
Effective population size N e demarks the timescale at which population turnover occurs.
Unfortunately, state standards are not doing as well framing the population-level and generational timescale at which evolution operates (concept 19).
However, more conceptual explanations have been put forward, such as the spatial structure that some organisms have to cope with, for example, a long tree-like linear habitat (Fourcade et al. 2013), or the timescale at which adaptation could have proceeded (Riquet et al. 2013).
Similar dependency of the clock rate, on the evolutionary timescale at which it is measured, has been described in other organisms and can be theoretically explained, for example, by purifying selection slowly purging mutations that are slightly deleterious (Ho et al. 2007; Morelli et al. 2010; Didelot et al. 2012).
This study suggests that reefs, over the timescales at which cycles of reef 'turn-on' and 'turn-off' operate (the centennial to millennial timescale), can not only re-establish successfully, but also that regrowth may be characterised by the establishment of near identical reef-building communities and the development of near identical depositional structures.
