After all, what's Selection by Consequences?
Interação em Psicologia, 2017 The Skinner's proposal entitled 'Selection by Consequences' seems to ensure a commitment to selectionist epistemology. This notion, however, lacks a consensual definition in the area.

A COMPUTATIONAL MODEL OF SELECTION BY CONSEQUENCES [PDF]
Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2004 Darwinian selection by consequences was instantiated in a computational model that consisted of a repertoire of behaviors undergoing selection, reproduction, and mutation over many generations. The model in effect created a digital organism that emitted behavior continuously.

The genetic consequences of selection in natural populations [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2016 AbstractThe selection coefficient, s, quantifies the strength of selection acting on a genetic variant. Despite this parameter's central importance to population genetic models, until recently we have known relatively little about the value of s in natural populations.

Reconsidering the Consequences of Selective Fisheries [PDF]
Science, 2012 Balanced fishing across a range of species, stocks, and sizes could mitigate adverse effects and address food security better than increased selectivity.

The demographic consequences of sex‐selection technology
Quantitative Economics, 2023 Over the last several years, highly accurate methods of sex selection before conception have been developed. Given that strong preferences for sex variety in offspring have been documented for the U.S., we ask what the demographic consequences of sex‐selection technology could be. Lacking variation across space and time in access to this technology, we

Fitness consequences of outgroup conflict
eLife, 2022 In social species across the animal kingdom, conspecific outsiders threaten the valuable resources of groups and their members. This outgroup conflict is recognised as a powerful selection pressure, but we argue that studies explicitly quantifying the ...

Inhibitory consequences of memory selection
Acta Psychologica, 1997 When subjects select a prime from a visual display while leaving a distractor prime unselected, response time (RT) or response accuracy to a subsequent probe may be impeded if the distractor prime and probe are identical, or if they are related to one another. This phenomenon, negative priming (NP), has obvious implications for understanding perceptual

Human demographic history has amplified the effects of background selection across the genome. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Natural populations often grow, shrink, and migrate over time. Such demographic processes can affect genome-wide levels of genetic diversity. Additionally, genetic variation in functional regions of the genome can be altered by natural selection, which ...

Corrupção e seleção por consequências: uma análise comportamental
Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa, 2018 Resumo A corrupção é um fenômeno global. Sob os parâmetros teóricos e metodológicos da Análise Comportamental da Cultura, constitui nosso objetivo compor um panorama descritivo-explicativo da corrupção como prática cultural, mediante uma análise ...

Making measures count: Structured indicator selection to improve program success
Environmental and Sustainability Indicators, 2020 Indicators are essential, yet often overlooked and undervalued, elements of conservation planning. This is concerning given that selection and implementation of indicators is vital to monitoring, evaluation and learning and can require substantial ...
