Did Going North Give Us Migraine? An Evolutionary Approach on Understanding Latitudinal Differences in Migraine Epidemiology [PDF]
This commentary discusses a recent publication by evolutionary biologists with strong implications for migraine experts. The Authors showed that a gene polymorphism associated with migraine gave our ancestors an evolutionary advantage when colonizing ...

Evolutionary-thinking in agricultural weed management [PDF]
Agricultural weeds evolve in response to crop cultivation. Nevertheless, the central importance of evolutionary ecology for understanding weed invasion, persistence and management in agroecosystems is not widely acknowledged.

A model of heart rate kinetics in response to exercise
We present a mathematical model, in the form of two coupled ordinary differential equations, for the heart rate kinetics in response to exercise. Our heart rate model is an adaptation of the model of oxygen uptake kinetics of Stirling: a physiological ...

Unpacking and validating the “physiological adaptation” core concept of physiology
An Australian Task Force of physiology educators identified physiological adaptation as a core concept of physiology. It was subsequently unpacked into four themes and nine subthemes. These were rated, by the Task Force, Essential or Important and Moderately Difficult for students to learn.
