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.

Assessing by Modeling the Consequences of Increased Recombination in Recurrent Selection of Oryza sativa and Brassica rapa [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Meiotic recombination generates genetic diversity but in most species the number of crossovers per meiosis is limited. Previous modeling studies showed that increasing recombination can enhance response to selection.

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.

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

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.
