In this chapter, I review the basic algorithm underlying the CODEML model implemented in the software package PAML. This is intended as a companion to the software's manual, and a primer to the extensive literature available on CODEML. At the end of this chapter, I hope that you will be able to understand enough of how CODEML operates to plan your own ...

ABSTRACTBiological mimicry has served as a salient example of natural selection for over a century, providing us with a dazzling array of very different examples across many unrelated taxa. We provide a conceptual framework that brings together apparently disparate examples of mimicry in a single model for the purpose of comparing how natural selection

The Buttocks and Natural Selection
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1966Well developed buttocks are a peculiar trait of man. None of the other primates has anything so well developed. The projection called the buttocks or rump, in man, is largely due to the massive development of the gluteus maximus as a consequence of the adoption of the erect posture.

The study of natural selection in laboratory systems undergoing experimental evolution can provide important insights into the relationship between natural selection and adaptation. We studied selection on the norm of reaction of age at first reproduction in a laboratory population of Drosophila melanogaster.

Although many research studies report students’ Lamarckian misconceptions, only a few studies present learning and teaching strategies that focus on the successful development of the concept of natural selection. The learning and teaching strategy for upper secondary students (aged 15–16) presented in this study conducted in The Netherlands is based on

Natural Selection and Heredity
Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae, 1962The intimate connection between natural selection and heredity is indicated by Prof. Dobshansky's definition of evolution as essentially just a change in gene frequencies, for natural selection is the agency that causes gene frequencies to change. Just as mutations are the raw material of evolution, selection is the force that preserves good genes ...

Maladaptation and Natural Selection
The Quarterly Review of Biology, 2005The transformations George Williams initiated in evolutionary biology seem so blindingly obvious in retrospect that they spur the question of why he saw what no one else did. While most humans are prone to see only what theory predicts, Williams sees in bold relief whatever does not fit. Not an adaptationist or an anti-adaptationist, Williams is better

Abstract Replacement selection is the most popular algorithm used in the creation of initial runs for a sort/merge external sort. In 1972, Frazer and Wong suggested a variation, called natural selection, which uses an auxiliary memory reservoir to increase the performance of replacement selection.

The selective nature of metastasis
CANCER AND METASTASIS REVIEW, 1983The issue of whether metastases result from the random survival of cells released from a primary tumor or from the selective growth of specialized tumor subpopulations endowed with metastatic properties is important to our understanding of the metastatic process and to the development of therapeutic modalities against metastatic disease.

Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, 2009
Biologists are increasingly reexamining the conceptual structure of evolutionary theory, which dates back to the so-called Modern Synthesis of the 1930s and 1940s. Calls for an Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) cite a number of empirical and theoretical advances that need to be accounted for, including evolvability, evolutionary novelties ...
