Importantly, their biological communities house distinctive ecological and evolutionary phenomena.
Evolutionary phenomena: developmental evolution, life history evolution, molecular evolution, sexual selection, social evolution, and speciation.
For a brief review of evolutionary phenomena that may be driven by the deleterious mutation rate, see Kondrashov, A. S. 2001.
Deleterious mutations have been hypothesized to play a central role in a variety of evolutionary phenomena, including (and most prominently) sex.
The chapter discusses the general notion of evolutionary modeling and proposes the fundamental ingredients for studying evolutionary phenomena in the context of music.
As illustrated by these examples, synthetic ecosystems provide a unique platform to study ecological and evolutionary phenomena that are challenging to study in their natural contexts.
In this talk, I shall discuss how early-developing constraints on the conceptualization of biological kinds influence (a) one's understanding of evolutionary phenomena and (b) one's acceptance of evolutionary claims.
Darwin did not supply a major set of new principles that could be used to derive general conclusions about life and its history: he crafted a framework within which his successors construct models of quite specific evolutionary phenomena.
For instance, Niles Eldredge, Borsari, and Thomson's work concerns paleontology, whereas Rybarczyk and Jenkins address present-day evolutionary phenomena.
This paper critically reviews the empirical work of science education researchers on the student's conceptions about organic evolutionary phenomena.
The effort is to interpret and organize the student's conceptions to see how she understands causality in evolutionary phenomena.
