To test the hypothesis that the fruiting bodies of social amoebae are cooperative adaptations for dispersal, we examined whether the structure of fruiting bodies increases their likelihood of being picked up by small invertebrates.
Here we have experimentally tested the long-standing hypothesis that multicellular fruiting bodies produced by the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum are cooperative adaptations that increase dispersal via passing invertebrates.
A system model for practical cellular networks is introduced, in which only a subset of base stations participates in cooperative link adaptation and cooperative decoding for uplink transmissions.
The main mode of Four Swords Adventures is "Hyrulean Adventure", an episodic, cooperative multiplayer adaptation of conventional The Legend of Zelda gameplay.
Coral-algal symbiosis is a cooperative metabolic adaptation necessary for survival in the shallow oligotrophic (nutrient-poor) waters of tropical and subtropical marine environments [ 4, 5] that drives the productivity of coral reefs [ 6].
By selecting transmit beamformers judiciously and performing power adaptation, the cooperative algorithm is shown to converge to a pure strategy Nash equilibrium with high probability in the interference impaired network.
In line with this interpretation, the eyes of jackdaws have a strong contrast between a light iris and dark pupil and the higher contrast between iris and pupil in human eyes compared to other primates has been suggested to be an adaptation to cooperative behaviour and communication via the eyes (Kobayashi and Kohshima, 2001).
Autonomous agents may implement local processing adaptation and sophisticated cooperative behaviours.
He distinguishes between two types of adaptation, autonomous and cooperative, which are mirrored in the two generic governance structures of market and hierarchy.
