Vicarious trial and error [PDF]

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2016
When rats come to a decision point, they sometimes pause and look back and forth as if deliberating over the choice; at other times, they proceed as if they have already made their decision. In the 1930s, this pause-and-look behaviour was termed 'vicarious trial and error' (VTE), with the implication that the rat was 'thinking about the future'.

Reining in Vicarious Liability

Industrial Law Journal, 2020
The English law of vicarious liability has changed dramatically over the course of the last 20 years. The overall effect of this transformation has been a significant expansion in the scope of the doctrine, accompanied by high levels of uncertainty, as reflected in the frequency with which appeals on the subject have been heard by the Supreme Court in ...

Inferring possible population divergence in Espeletia pycnophylla (Asteraceae) through morphometric and paleogeographic approaches

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010
The phenotypic structure within and between plant populations is generally influenced by their distribution patterns in space and time; therefore, the study of their divergence is a central issue for the understanding of their microevolutive processes ...

Una nueva subespecie de Heraclides androgeus (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) y sus aspectos biogeográficos A new subspecies of Heraclides androgeus (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) and its biogeographical aspects

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2013
Hemos reunido evidencia de que Heraclides está formado por dos subespecies, cada una con caracteres propios que las distinguen; analizamos, describimos y nominamos a Heraclides androgeus reyesorum ssp. nov. que se distribuye en la costa pacífica mexicana.

Signatures of seaway closures and founder dispersal in the phylogeny of a circumglobally distributed seahorse lineage

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background The importance of vicariance events on the establishment of phylogeographic patterns in the marine environment is well documented, and generally accepted as an important cause of cladogenesis. Founder dispersal (i.e.

Biogeography of Coptis Salisb. (Ranunculales, Ranunculaceae, Coptidoideae), an Eastern Asian and North American genus

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Numerous studies have favored dispersal (colonization) over vicariance (past fragmentation) events to explain eastern Asian-North American distribution patterns. In plants, however the disjunction between eastern Asia and western North America

Conserving biogeographical units of endemic amphibians in the megadiverse Atlantic Forest [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The initial step in many biogeography approaches involves identifying biogeographical units, which serve as fundamental building blocks for understanding biodiversity patterns and guiding conservation efforts.

Phylogenetic evidence that both ancient vicariance and dispersal have contributed to the biogeographic patterns of anchialine cave shrimps

Scientific Reports, 2017
Cave shrimps from the genera Typhlatya, Stygiocaris and Typhlopatsa (Atyidae) are restricted to specialised coastal subterranean habitats or nearby freshwaters and have a highly disconnected distribution (Eastern Pacific, Caribbean, Atlantic ...
