The review raises the question whether predictability of such self-generated sounds may boost the evolution of entrainment to external rhythms, and whether that in turn may advance vocal learning abilities.
Recent advances in SPECT technology, such as dynamic SPECT and/or fused SPECT/CT imaging, are expected to rapidly boost the evolution of 99mTc-based bombesin radiotracers toward clinically useful compounds.
The evolutionary hypothesis seems to be an adaptive one for what concerns 'the virtual actor, the ego', where syntactical language played a boosting role: During the evolution of primates, increases in demands of action planning, strategic thinking, and complex syntactical language probably necessitated the construction of a conscious phenomenal world (p. 228).
The genome of sorghum has recently been sequenced providing a great boost to our knowledge of the evolution of grass genomes and the wealth of diversity within S. bicolor taxa.
To summarize, the picture is that the evolution of the synthetases was boosted by the emergence of new modes of amino acylation, which also allowed the inclusion of new amino acids to the code.
Sexual selection might have given the evolution of hairlessness a boost, as smooth, healthy skin signaled that a prospective mate was parasite-free, Pagel and Bodmer argue in a paper published online 9 June by Biology Letters.
The exploration of the search space is guided by the evolution of pheromones levels, while exploitation has been boosted by a tabu local search heuristic.
To figure out if hydrothermal vents could have given the evolution of complex life a boost, Braun and his colleagues examined the physics of a theoretical single pore in the rock surrounding a vent.
