Senescence in Animals: Why Evolutionary Theories Matter
This is a clearly deleterious process, which seems difficult to conciliate with natural selection, which predicts evolution towards increasing fitness. Historically, the first evolutionary explanation able to conciliate these two processes is known as the mutation accumulation theory (Medawar, 1952). According to this theory, in age-structured populations the force of selection decreases with i...
متن کاملLife table tests of evolutionary theories of senescence.
The phenomenon of senescence requires both evolutionary and proximate explanations. The most widely accepted evolutionary explanation for senescence is that it never gets exposed to natural selection because environmental hazards kill all individuals before the age at which senescence causes decreased fitness. If this explanation is sufficient, wild populations should not demonstrate senescence...

15 صفحه اولPristinism under Pressure—Ruetsche on the Interpretation of Quantum Theories
Interpreting Quantum Theories attempts and achieves no less than three different goals. First, it provides an accessible introduction to the conceptual foundations of the algebraic approach to quantum theories—today’s most promising rigorous framework for the formulation of quantum theories that includes those applying to systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom. Second, it present...
