Experimental Evidence for the Population-Dynamic Mechanisms Underlying Extinction Cascades of Carnivores
Species extinction rates due to human activities are high, and initial extinctions can trigger cascades of secondary extinctions, leading to further erosion of biodiversity. A potential major mechanism for secondary extinction cascades is provided by the long-standing theory that the diversity of consumer species is maintained due to the positive indirect effects that these species have on each...
متن کاملNature of Proximate Mechanisms Underlying Primate Social Systems: Simplicity and Redundancy
Given the complexity of primate social systems, it is not surprising that the search for proximate mechanisms is a daunting task. We have long known that the types of social groups that primates form and maintain are characteristic of a given species.1 It is also clear that social systems emerge from interactions between individuals.2 Understanding proximate mechanisms contributing to social sy...
متن کاملProximate mechanisms in behavior and evolution
highly tractable subjects for research in behavior and ecology. Studies of Eurasian tits and North American chickadees have made substantial contributions to our understanding of breeding phenology (Chapter 4; Chapter 5), food-storing (Chapter 2; Chapter 3), social behavior (Chapter 9), communication (Section III), foraging, and other topics. More recently, research on the Paridae has begun to ...
متن کاملExperimental evolution and proximate mechanisms in biology
Biological functions - studied by molecular, systems and behavioral biology - are referred to as proximate mechanisms. Why and how they have emerged from the course of evolution are referred to as ultimate mechanisms. Despite the conceptual and technical schism between the disciplines that focus on each, studies from one side can benefit the other. Experimental evolution is an emerging field at...
متن کاملCooperation in humans: competition between groups and proximate emotions
Understanding the ultimate and proximate mechanisms that favour cooperation remains one of the greatest challenges in the biological and social sciences. A number of theoretical studies have suggested that competition between groups may have played a key role in the evolution of cooperation within human societies, and similar ideas have been discussed for other organisms, especially cooperative...
