Here I will review experimental results suggesting that these difficulties, arising from the animal's morphology, have imposed the evolution of unique brain/body/behavior relationships best explained as intelligent behavior which emerges from the octopus's embodied organization.
Here, we investigate the effect that continuous variation in environmental temperatures imposes on the evolution of body size among species of the Liolaemus genus, using a comparative approach.
Besides the network architecture, the CCBHNC also differs from the original Hopfield neural network in that a competitive winner-take-all mechanism is imposed in the evolution of the network.
This paper presents a new methodology for the synthesis of power system stabilizers (PSSs) and speed governors in order to satisfy some recent objectives and constraints imposed by the evolution of large-scale interconnected power systems.
As such, we have to recognize the real biochemical limitations that particular genes impose on the evolution of a quantitative trait, and recognize that there are regions of phenotypic space that may simply be inaccessible [50], [51].
In order to understand whether host-driven antigenic drift is imposed on the evolution of HA1 of A(H1N1) virus, we used likelihood ratio tests (LRT) in the software package PAML 4.0 [45] to identify the presence or absence of positive selection.
Strictly defined, co-evolution is the joint evolution of ecologically interacting species (Thompson, 1994) and it implies the evolution of a species in response to selection imposed by another.
This specification imposes structure on the evolution of the relationship between leaving school in an economic downturn and access to employer-sponsored health insurance.
Such interactions require a balance between expression levels of all genes in a group of interacting genes, which imposes constraints on the evolution of regulation of individual genes, resulting in lower opportunity for transcriptional compensation.
The dependence of natural selection against recessive alleles on inbreeding is known to be able to induce some increase in neutral genetic diversity at equilibrium populations, as it imposes restrictions on the evolution of genealogical relationships between individuals and of the probability of identity by descent at neutral sites closely linked to selected ones.
