Therefore, a genome-wide analysis of cyclic expression in C. reinhardtii can provide insight not only into cyclic physiological behavior in green algae but also how this behavior has evolved in divergent lineages of the Plantae.
Empirical studies of mating systems and sexual selection in taxa with paternal care, however, have focused largely on vertebrates, even though this behavior has evolved independently in at least 17 invertebrate groups (Clutton-Brock 1991; reviewed in Tallamy 2001).
More work will help researchers understand how the counterintuitive behavior has evolved and how pressure on habitats may have played a role.
Rather, we may expect the CNS dynamics to be adapted to complement a particular subset of environments, those in which the animal, performing that behavior, has evolved.
In many sand wasp species, a behavior has evolved where the sand wasp digs one or more false burrows that extend from nearby the real nest entrance into the ground.
Researchers have just made a strong case that a certain aspect of its behavior has evolved because of human harvesting of corn.
A forward-genetic cross between these two species identified several genomic regions associated with burrow traits, suggesting this complex behavior has evolved in a modular fashion.
It's a rigorously rational, empirical book, rooted in this cognitive scientist's conviction that our behavior has evolved, biologically into our flawed history as a moral species.
"This behavior has evolved over a long period of time where we as humans have been exposed to relatively small groups of mates, but now, with modern technology, we have access to a functionally infinite number of mates".
Nevertheless, migratory behavior has evolved in bats but to our knowledge, no hypotheses currently exist to explain how and when migration evolved in these animals.
