Using AdleriAn Theory To shed lighT on drUg deAler MoTivATions

Drug dealer motivation is traditionally attributed to individual greed or social structural pressures resulting from poor social conditions or blocked opportunities. To date, few scholars have seriously considered that underlying personality characteristics might shape an individual’s decisions to participate in the illegal drug market.

However, its fi ndings still await publication. Because the women in the Two Sister Study have been diagnosed with cancer, " we can do case – contro...

Genotype networks shed light on evolutionary constraints.

An evolutionary constraint is a bias or limitation in phenotypic variation that a biological system produces. One can distinguish physicochemical, selective, genetic and developmental causes of such constraints. Here, I discuss these causes in three classes of system that bring forth many phenotypic traits and evolutionary innovations: regulatory circuits, macromolecules and metabolic networks....
