The work represents an important step toward uncovering the forces that promote the evolution of new marine species, says oceanographer Lisa Levin of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
In the area of complex networks and game theory, it has being affirmed for a long time that scale-free networks promote the evolution of cooperation.
Simple public health measures, like hand washing, will decrease the infectious inoculum, help prevent disease outbreaks, as well as promote the evolution of less virulent pathogens.
These attempts to overcome the original limitations include various new mechanisms proposed to promote the evolution of the Internet[2, 3].
I further explore the possibility of host-beneficial microbe coevolution and suggest particular situations that could promote the evolution of such close-knit partnerships.
Undergraduates find the idea that leaky vaccines can promote the evolution of greater virulence (Gandon et al. 2001; Mackinnon et al. 2008) in human papilloma virus and Plasmodium both frightening and attractive as research topics.
Given the dense, cell-compacted nature of tumors, acidic and low oxygen conditions inevitably ensue, which interestingly have been mechanistically shown to promote the evolution of clones which are prone to emigrate from the tumor.
These asymmetric electrodes promote the evolution of gaseous H2 and O2 products on the outer surfaces of the electrodes, followed by buoyancy-driven separation of the detached bubbles into separate overhead collection chambers.
Various bat species that emit high-frequency squeaks to detect prey and avoid obstacles share a high degree of variation in the FOXP2 gene, according to a new study, suggesting that genetic changes in the gene helped promote the evolution of this ability.
Worker policing has been suggested as a form of coercion to promote the evolution of altruistic behavior in eusocial insect societies.
Ecological release can theoretically promote the evolution of novelty [33].
