The conceptual structure of evolutionary biology: A framework from phenotypic plasticity [PDF]

, 2018
In this review, I approach the role of phenotypic plasticity as a key aspect of the conceptual framework of evolutionary biology. The concept of phenotypic plasticity is related to other relevant concepts of contemporary research in ...

Evolvability in the Cephalothoracic Structural Complexity of Aegla araucaniensis (Crustacea: Decapoda) Determined by a Developmental System with Low Covariational Constraint

Biology, 2022
The integration of complex structures is proportional to the intensity of the structural fusion; its consequences are better known than the covariational effects under less restrictive mechanisms.

Field canalization using anisotropic 2D plasmonics

npj 2D Materials and Applications, 2022
Optical devices capable of suppressing diffraction nature of light are of great technological importance to many nanophotonic applications. One important technique to achieve diffractionless optics is to exploit field canalization effect.

Replica symmetry breaking in an adiabatic spin-glass model of adaptive evolution

, 2011
We study evolutionary canalization using a spin-glass model with replica theory, where spins and their interactions are dynamic variables whose configurations correspond to phenotypes and genotypes, respectively.

Cartilaginous metaplasia of varicose veins: a case report [PDF]

, 2013
Cartilaginous metaplasia of superficial veins was found in a 64-year-old woman who underwent surgery for varicose veins. At operation, some varicose veins of the medial thigh were semi-rigid and fibroelastic to the touch. Histology revealed that half the

Human-induced changes in Indonesian peatlands increase drought severity

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Indonesian peatlands are critical to the global carbon cycle, but they also support a large number of local economies. Intense forest clearing and draining in these peatlands is causing severe ecological and environmental impacts.

Comparison of imaging with sub-wavelength resolution in the canalization and resonant tunnelling regimes

, 2008
We compare the properties of subwavelength imaging in the visible wavelength range for metal-dielectric multilayers operating in the canalization and the resonant tunnelling regimes.
