Bugs and features. A reply to Smaldino et al. (2017)
A conformity bias is, in cultural evolutionary terms, an individual-level tendency to disproportionately copy the majority. Collectively, at population-level, this individual behaviour results in a characteristic sigmoidal relationship between the frequency of the behaviour in the population and the probability to copy it (“the sigmoid”). In two recent papers (Acerbi et al. 2016, van Leeuwen et...
متن کاملMaterial properties of photomechanical infrared receptors in pyrophilous Melanophila beetles and Aradus bugs.
Jewel beetles of the genus Melanophila and some pyrophilous species of the flat bugs genus Aradus show a pyrophilous behaviour and have developed so-called photomechanical infrared (IR) receptors. In a spherical photomechanical IR sensillum incoming IR radiation is converted into micromechanical action, finally stimulating the dendritic tip of a mechanosensitive sensory cell. The tip is located...
متن کاملGold bugs and beyond: a review of iridescence and structural colour mechanisms in beetles (Coleoptera).
Members of the order Coleoptera are sometimes referred to as 'living jewels', in allusion to the strikingly diverse array of iridescence mechanisms and optical effects that have arisen in beetles. A number of novel and sophisticated reflectance mechanisms have been discovered in recent years, including three-dimensional photonic crystals and quasi-ordered coherent scattering arrays. However, th...
متن کاملGood Bugs Vs . Bad Bugs
Control of micro-organisms during completion of hydraulically fractured wells is a significant component in successful development of a production system. Detrimental bacteria—“bad bugs”—such as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) introduced into the reservoir during drilling or completion, can facilitate biogenic sulfide production, resulting in souring of production fluids and gas, iron sulfide f...
متن کاملBugs versus bugs: probiotics, microbiome and allergy.
exposure to infections. Although exposure to infections may be one source of immune education, the most extensive interaction of the human body with microbes occurs within our own gut, which, in addition to being the site of greatest bacterial colonization, is also the largest lymphoid organ in the body. Over 40 years ago, it was reported that germ-free status resulted in spontaneous allergy an...
