Variations of the Ratio of Total-To-selective Extinction in the Galaxy [PDF]
Open Astronomy, 2003 The results of the study of variations of total-to-selective extinction RV near the Galactic plane (-12° ≤ b ≤+12°) are presented. It is shown that variations of RV range from 1.9 to 3.4 and it is not possible to determine its typical value for the ...

Promotion of cooperation by selective group extinction
New Journal of Physics, 2016 Multilevel selection is an important organizing principle that crucially underlies evolutionary processes from the emergence of cells to eusociality and the economics of nations.

Extinction and morphospace occupation: A critical review
Cambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023 Processes of extinction, especially selectivity, can be studied using the distribution of species in morphospace. Random extinction reduces the number of species but has little effect on the range of morphologies or ecological roles in a fauna or flora ...

Central amygdala micro-circuits mediate fear extinction
Nature Communications, 2021 The central amygdala inhibitory microcircuits mediate fear extinction by reversible, stimulus- and context-specific changes in neuronal responses. These alterations are absent when extinction is deficient and selective silencing of PKCδ neurons impairs ...

Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems, 2023 Controlling antibiotic drug resistance requires understanding extinction and emergence mechanisms of emerging bacteria. Selective pressure from prolonged antibiotic misuse may cause high-level antimicrobial resistance.

Community stability and selective extinction during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction [PDF]
Science, 2015 No precedent Human activities are creating a mass extinction event. The intensity of this event is unprecedented during human times, but there have been several comparable events during Earth's history. Roopnarine and Angielczyk examined one of the largest, the Permian-Triassic Extinction (see the Perspective by Marshall).

Archosauromorph extinction selectivity during the Triassic–Jurassic mass extinction [PDF]
Palaeontology, 2018 AbstractMany traits have been linked to extinction risk among modern vertebrates, including mode of life and body size. However, previous work has indicated there is little evidence that body size, or any other trait, was selective during past mass extinctions.

Are in vivo selections on the path to extinction? [PDF]
Microbial Biotechnology, 2017 Droplet microfluidics will become a disruptive technology in the field of library screening and replace biological selections if the central dogma of biology and other processes are successfully implemented within microdroplets.
