Ecological use of vertebrate surrogate species in ecosystem conservation
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Surrogate species approaches are widely employed by conservation biologists to help address biodiversity conservation issues when distribution and abundance data for most species of conservation concern are not available or are limited due to ...

Roles of leptin on energy balance and thermoregulation in Eothenomys miletus
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Leptin is a hormone mainly synthesized and secreted by white adipose tissue (WAT), which regulates various physiological processes. To investigate the role of leptin in energy balance and thermoregulation in Eothenomys miletus, voles were randomly ...

Adaptability and evolution [PDF]
Interface Focus, 2017 Abstract The capacity of organisms to respond in their own lifetimes to new challenges in their environments probably appeared early in biological evolution. At present few studies have shown how such adaptability could influence the inherited characteristics of an organism's descendants.

The social dynamics of basins of attraction
Ecology and Society, 2021 In this paper we conceptualize transformations as societal shifts from one basin of attraction to another. Such shifts occur when a society's information processing system is no longer fit to deal with the dynamics with which the society is involved.

On the Rate of Adaptive Evolution [PDF]
Evolution, 1985 Simpson (1953 p. 140) may have been the first to conjecture that the rate of evolution of a population is a monotonic increasing function of its distance from an adaptive optimum. As Stenseth and Maynard Smith (1984) point cut, this conjecture can be construed to be a more general version of Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection.

bioRxiv, 2020 Seasonal coronaviruses (OC43, 229E, NL63 and HKU1) are endemic to the human population, regularly infecting and reinfecting humans while typically causing asymptomatic to mild respiratory infections.
