Species classification depends on our understanding of morphology, behavior, ecology and genetics of organisms.
As such, there is an urgent need to improve our knowledge of the behavior, ecology, and genetics of this somewhat-understudied vector to prepare for future vector control strategies.
Only through detailed studies of morphology, ecology, behavior, and genetics can the true number of lemur species be determined.
Cori Bargmann, at Rockefeller University, who studies the neurobiology and genetics of behavior in nematodes, said, "I think it's a really exciting paper".
Decades ago the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins suggested that one could study the evolution and genetics of behavior just the way one studies the evolution of body shape: concentrate on what animals build — birds's nests, beaver dams, termite mounds — and treat them like beak length or coat color.
Holmes et al. collected data for a large-scale exploration (N = 1570) of the relations among brain function, behavior, and genetics (GSP [Brain Genomics Superstruct Project] dataset).
Much of the work on the neurobiology and genetics of aggressive behavior to date has used the candidate gene approach to establish the role of neurotransmitters in mediating and modulating levels of aggression.
Epidemiology and genetics of cluster headache.
Obesity is a heterogeneous disorder that involves a complex interaction of behavior, environment, and genetics [ 9].
C. elegans is also a good model to study molecular basis of such behaviors, as the genetics of many worm behaviors have been studied in great details [3] [5].
