We propose that the intestine is the signaling center to determine both developmental strategies and longevity.
Considering the fitness associations of different developmental strategies and the limits of developmental flexibility of this species, we discuss the long-term implications of the climatic and environmental changes taking place in northern YNP.
Building psychological coping capacity takes time; efforts must go beyond psychological first aid during or immediately after disasters, extending into a developmental strategy that promotes environmental and personal strength, enhancing coping capacity, and protecting mental health in the face of risks and stressors.
Biogas engineering and the biogas-linked agricultural industries as a whole has been used as both a developmental strategy for rural new energy and an important part of renewable agriculture revolution in China.
Invariably, this time around there will be the usual nostrums related to Hu Jintao's much touted but deeply troubled "harmonious society" (hexie shehui) and the "scientific developmental strategy," which is his vaunted theoretical contribution to "Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought-Deng Xiaoping Theory and Jiang Zemin-ideas".
More importantly, comparative analyses identify both conserved and divergent gene regulation programs in mouse and human organogenesis, with the latter likely responsible for the developmental divergence between the two species, and further suggest a novel developmental strategy during vertebrate evolution.
In this review, we compare the developmental strategies of ascidians and vertebrates and argue that the very divergence of these strategies reveals the surprising level of plasticity of the chordate developmental program and is a rich resource to identify core regulatory mechanisms that are evolutionarily conserved in chordates.
The sea urchin Heliocidaris erythrogramma employs an alternative developmental strategy in which the feeding larval stage is omitted and adult development is greatly accelerated (Williams and Anderson 1975; Raff 1992).
In such a view, lamination of the cortex could be seen as an incidental consequence of the sequential nature of neuronal birth and migration, perhaps corresponding to a developmental strategy aimed at optimizing wiring costs, rather than a prerequisite for the establishment of computationally effective cortical networks (Chklovskii 2004; Wen and Chklovskii 2008).
Not only is the developmental strategy of marsupials very different to that of placentals, but the nature and timing of development also varies between marsupial groups.
