Fig. 3 A diagram showing the processes of exaptation (shifts in function), collage (assembling existing elements into new functional combinations), scaffolding (loss of a component that was formerly required for the assembly of a complex arrangements of parts), and direct adaptation by natural selection (including secondary adaptation) in the evolution of a complex feature.
In view of the cost of mounting a global-scale research program, the Census focused initially on assembling existing information.
Impediments to assembling existing data and collecting new data on marine biodiversity include logistical problems as well as shortages in finances and taxonomic expertise.
Three other impediments to assembling existing data and collecting new data on marine biodiversity were explicit or implicit in all sections: logistical problems, shortages in finances, and shortages in taxonomic expertise.
In a meeting under the aegis of the UN Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) in Paris in 2000, this group realized its first goal for the Census – the development of a data management system to assemble existing information and make it accessible to scientists around the world.
Given the high cost of introducing new chemical building blocks, it seems likely that future generations of commercial polymers will be derived from assembling existing cheap monomers in new ways.
