Operant Reinforcement and Natural Selection: The Useless Analogy

Interação em Psicologia, 2017
Current theoretical discussions of behavior analysis often mention "selection by consequences" as a specific causal mode and as an unifying framework that would relate the field to evolutionary biology.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Consequences of benzalkonium chloride tolerance for selection dynamics and de novo resistance evolution driven by antibiotics

npj Antimicrobials and Resistance
Biocides are used in large amounts in industrial, medical, and domestic settings. Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is a commonly used biocide, for which previous research revealed that Escherichia coli can rapidly adapt to tolerate BAC-disinfection, with ...

Weighting fibre and morphological traits in a genetic index for an alpaca breeding programme

Animal, 2014
Nowadays, the fibre diameter (FD) is considered the main selection objective in alpaca populations all over the world. International Committee for Animal Recording recommendations define the FD and its CV as the first two traits to be considered in ...

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Beyond sex allocation : the role of mating systems in sexual selection in parasitoid wasps

, 2014
Funding: UK NERC Doctoral Training GrantDespite the diverse array of mating systems and life histories which characterise the parasitic Hymenoptera, sexual selection and sexual conflict in this taxon have been somewhat overlooked.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Competition and its consequences for selection in barley breeding

, 1979
The influence of competition is discussed and quantified for unselected bulk propagation, single-plant selection and yield testing of progenies in row plots.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Psychopathology as a result of selection by consequences exemplified by autism spectrum disorders (ASD).

, 2016
B. F. Skinner is one of the most important 20th century psychologists, and the 1981 paper Selection by Consequences is among his most important contributions.
