متن کاملProbabilistic adaptation in changing microbial environments
Microbes growing in animal host environments face fluctuations that have elements of both randomness and predictability. In the mammalian gut, fluctuations in nutrient levels and other physiological parameters are structured by the host's behavior, diet, health and microbiota composition. Microbial cells that can anticipate environmental fluctuations by exploiting this structure would likely ga...
متن کاملFlexibility in Animal Signals Facilitates Adaptation to Rapidly Changing Environments
Charles Darwin posited that secondary sexual characteristics result from competition to attract mates. In male songbirds, specialized vocalizations represent secondary sexual characteristics of particular importance because females prefer songs at specific frequencies, amplitudes, and duration. For birds living in human-dominated landscapes, historic selection for song characteristics that conv...
متن کاملAdaptation toward Changing Environments: Why Darwinian in Nature?
The processes of adaptation in a multi-agent system consist of two complementary phases: 1) learning, occurring within each agent's individual lifetime, and 2) evolution, occurring over successive generations of the population. In this paper, we observe the dynamics of such adaptive processes in a simple abstract model, where each neural network is regarded as an individual capable of learning,...
متن کاملEvolutionary Re-Adaptation of Neurocontrollers in Changing Environments
Evolutionary robotics is an interesting novel approach to shape the control system of autonomous robots. This explores issues related to readaptation in changed environments of a population of evolved individuals. Experimental studies are reported for genetic evolution of neurocontrollers that have developed the ability to perform homing navigation for battery recharge of miniature mobile robot...
