Distinguishing Biological Trends from Adaptation
Philosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology, 2022 Models of evolution commonly decompose change into deterministic and stochastic components. Different models, however, produce different concepts of signal and noise.

Biological Adaptations Associated with Dehydration in Mosquitoes [PDF]
Insects, 2019 Diseases that are transmitted by mosquitoes are a tremendous health and socioeconomic burden with hundreds of millions of people being impacted by mosquito-borne illnesses annually. Many factors have been implicated and extensively studied in disease transmission dynamics, but knowledge regarding how dehydration impacts mosquito physiology, behavior ...

, 2009 Mycelial fungi and acellular slime molds grow as self-organized networks that explore new territory to search for resources, whilst maintaining an effective internal transport system in the face of continuous attack or random damage. These networks adapt during development by selective reinforcement of major transport routes and recycling of the ...

Visual adaptation to goal-directed hand actions
, 2008 Prolonged exposure to visual stimuli, or adaptation, often results in an adaptation “aftereffect” which can profoundly distort our perception of subsequent visual stimuli.

MiRroring the Multiple Potentials of MicroRNAs in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2017 At present, cardiovascular diseases are depicted to be the leading cause of death worldwide according to the World Health Organization. In the future, projections predict that ischemic heart disease will persist in the top main causes of illness.

BIOLOGICAL ADAPTATION TO CULTURAL TRAITS
The Evolution of Language, 2014 Recent work on the interaction between biological and cultural evolution has cast doubt on the effectiveness of the Baldwin effect in explaining cognitive adaptations to language, as culturally transmitted language changes too quickly for biological evolution.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...
