Local adaptation of two cryptic species, Lasthenia californica and Lasthenia gracilis, to distinct regions within a serpentine outcrop [PDF]
, 2013 Intraspecific variation providing tolerance to specific edaphic conditions may contribute to population differentiation, speciation, and species coexistence.

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018 Microalgae have drawn great attention as promising sustainable source of lipids and carotenoids. Their lipid and carotenoids accumulation machinery can be trigged by the stress conditions such as nutrient limitation or exposure to the damaging physical ...

Insufficiency of Thyroid Hormone in Frog Metamorphosis and the Role of Glucocorticoids
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Thyroid hormone (TH) is the most important hormone in frog metamorphosis, a developmental process which will not occur in the absence of TH but can be induced precociously by exogenous TH.

Network Topologies That Can Achieve Dual Function of Adaptation and Noise Attenuation. [PDF]
, 2019 Many signaling systems execute adaptation under circumstances that require noise attenuation. Here, we identify an intrinsic trade-off existing between sensitivity and noise attenuation in the three-node networks. We demonstrate that although fine-tuning

GeodermaPlant-soil interactions in terrestrial ecosystems profoundly shape the structure and function of belowground communities. Soil nematodes play a vital role in facilitating key belowground ecological processes, however, it remains poorly understood how ...

Biological adaptations for cultural transmission?
Biology Letters, 2022 According to several interlinked and influential lines of argument, human minds have been shaped by natural selection so as to include biological adaptations with the evolved, naturally selected function to facilitate the transmission of cultural knowledge.

Probabilistic measures for biological adaptation and resilience
Physical Review EThis paper introduces a novel approach to quantifying ecological resilience in biological systems, particularly focusing on noisy systems responding to episodic disturbances with sudden adaptations. Incorporating concepts from non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, we propose a measure termed `ecological resilience through adaptation,' specifically ...

Biological adaptation under fluctuating selection [PDF]
, 2018 AbstractBet-hedging—an evolutionary strategy that reduces fitness variance at the expense of lower mean fitness—is the primary explanation for most forms of biological adaptation to environmental unpredictability. However, most applications of bet-hedging theory to biological problems have largely made unrealistic demographic assumptions, such as non ...

Co-evolution and networks adaptation. [PDF]
What is the role of co-evolution in the adaptation of a population of firms to a hostile environment ? To answer this question, we revisit network sociology starting from Kauffman s biological computer model.
