Diversification in evolutionary arenas – assessment and synthesis

, 2020
Understanding how and why rates of evolutionary diversification vary is a central issue in evolutionary biology, ecology and biogeography. The concept of adaptive radiation has attracted much interest, but is metaphorical and verbal in nature, making it ...

Is the mystery of thought demystified by context-dependent dategorisation? Towards a new relation between language and thought [PDF]

, 2012
We argue that are no such things as literal categories in human cognition. Instead, we argue that there are merely temporary coalescences of dimensions of similarity, which are brought together by context in order to create the similarity structure in ...

Group transformation: life history trade-offs, division of labor, and evolutionary transitions in individuality

, 2022
Reproductive division of labor has been proposed to play a key role in evolutionary transitions in individuality (ETIs). This chapter provides a guide to a theoretical model that addresses the role of a trade-off between life history traits in selecting ...

Data_Sheet_1_Cheating Promotes Coexistence in a Two-Species One-Substrate Culture Model.PDF

, 2022
Cheating in microbial communities is often regarded as a precursor to a “tragedy of the commons,” ultimately leading to over-exploitation by a few species and destabilization of the community.

T. rex cognition was T. rex‐like—A critical outlook on diverging views of the neurocognitive evolution in dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

The impact of family interview on the relationship between medical students and their silent mentor

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The gross anatomy laboratory course often triggers significant negative emotions in medical students during dissection. While various pedagogical interventions aim to alleviate psychological burden, the fundamental question of how students' perceptions of donors evolve throughout the course remains underexplored.

Data, not documents: Moving beyond theories of information‐seeking behavior to advance data discovery

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 649-664, April 2025.
Abstract Many theories of human information behavior (HIB) assume that information objects are in text document format. This paper argues four important HIB theories are insufficient for describing users' search strategies for data because of assumptions about the attributes of objects that users seek.
