Our model allows us to investigate the evolutionary conflict (tension) between the interests of the individual, and that of the group or population.
Yoon's clever "Naming Nature" explores the historical tension between evolutionary biology and taxonomy.
Evolutionary change involves a fundamental tension between chance and necessity [ 1].
Indeed, genome size results from a tension between multiple evolutionary pressures, some acting at the mutation level, other at the selection level, some tending to make the genome grow, other tending to make it shrink.
BUBR1 is hyperphosphorylated during mitosis, and mitotic kinases Cdk1, Plk1 and Mps1 have been shown to phosphorylate S670 (Elowe et al., 2007; Huang et al., 2008) (in response to lack of kinetochore microtubule attachment) and S676 (Elowe et al., 2007) (in response to lack of tension) within this evolutionary conserved second motif of BUBR1.
Ward's endorsement of Clifford's evolutionary argument, however, points towards a tension in his philosophy.
The implant and the tensioning device underwent several evolutionary steps, making the implant easier to handle and the applied tension more accurate and reliable.
Defusing the conceptual tensions between developmental and evolutionary biology with respect to homology of function has a direct impact on the causal generalizations and inferences made from model organisms (Section 4).
While I concur that there is a tension, a conflict, even, between evolutionary science and some religious beliefs, Barash's claims of demolition are more "op" than "ed," I'm afraid.
Most macrohistorians including Sorokin offer a singular evolutionary path, that appears to be in epistemological tension with pluralism inherent to the postmodern worldview, and seems to be in conflict with the preference of futures work for open ended multiple outcomes.
