Revision of Drusinae subfamily (Trichoptera, Limnephilidae): divergence by paraproct and paramere: speciation in isolation by integration [PDF]

Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2017
In the last few years we have described over 70 new incipient sibling limnephild species applying the discovered Trichoptera speciation traits of the paraproct and paramere for species recognition and delimitation. In this revision on Drusinae subfamily,

The primordial tRNA acceptor stem code from theoretical minimal RNA ring clusters

BMC Genetics, 2020
Background Theoretical minimal RNA rings code by design over the shortest length once for each of the 20 amino acids, a start and a stop codon, and form stem-loop hairpins. This defines at most 25 RNA rings of 22 nucleotides. As a group, RNA rings mimick

Nutrient‐specific compensation for seasonal cold stress in a free‐ranging temperate colobine monkey

Functional Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 9, Page 2170-2180, September 2018., 2018
Plain Language Summary Abstract Homeostatic responses of animals to environmentally induced changes in nutrient requirements provide a powerful basis for predictive ecological models, and yet, such responses are virtually unstudied in the wild. We tested for macronutrient‐specific compensatory feeding responses by free‐ranging golden snub‐nosed monkeys

Immunology and Homeopathy. 5. The Rationale of the ‘Simile’

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 149-163, 2007., 2007
The foundation of homeopathic medicine is the ‘Similia Principle’, also known as the ‘Principle of Similarity’ or also as the ‘Simile’, which reflects the inversion of pharmacological effects in healthy subjects as compared with sick ones. This article describes the inversion of effects, a widespread medical phenomenon, through three possible ...

The “God Module” and the Complexifying Brain

Zygon, 2000
Recent reports of the discovery of a “God module” in the human brain derive from the fact that epileptic seizures in the left temporal lobe are associated with ecstatic feelings sometimes described as an experience of the presence of God. The brain area

Forms of Teleology

RUDN Journal of Philosophy
The research addresses a relevant and controversial topic - teleology. Final causality is the keystone without which the construction and consolidation of the paradigm of global evolutionism in the modern scientific community is unthinkable.

THE DIRECTNESS IN PROCESSES OF EVOLUTION [PDF]

Filozofia i Nauka, 2019
One of the fundamental problems in evolutionary sciences is the direction of evolution at different levels of matter organization. According to traditional teleological interpretations, the evolving systems should develop toward a final state—a goal ...

Chemical AI in the Limelight: The Contribution of Photochromic Materials and Oscillatory Chemical Reactions

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 15, May 27, 2025.
Photochromic compounds are versatile ingredients for the development of Chemical AI. When they are embedded in a tight microenvironment, they become Markov blankets. They are also valuable for processing Boolean and Fuzzy logic. They contribute to neuromorphic engineering in wetware based on opto‐chemical signals exchanged with oscillatory chemical ...

Agency, teleonomy and signal transduction in plant systems

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2022
AbstractPlants are the basis of nearly all food chains. The evolutionary response to inevitable predatory and other contingent hazards has provided plants with remarkable regenerative and plastic capabilities. Teleonomy has been characterized as purposive, adaptive and goal-directed behaviour.
