Robustness and evolvability: a paradox resolved.
Understanding the relationship between robustness and evolvability is key to understand how living things can withstand mutations, while producing ample variation that leads to evolutionary innovations. Mutational robustness and evolvability, a system's ability to produce heritable variation, harbour a paradoxical tension. On one hand, high robustness implies low production of heritable phenoty...
متن کاملSuperlubricity: a paradox about confined fluids resolved.
Using the method of Frantz and Salmeron to cleave mica [Tribol. Lett. 5, 151 (1998)]] we investigate alkane fluids in a surface forces apparatus and confirm several predictions of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. An oscillatory force-distance profile is observed for the methyl-branched alkane, squalane. Boundary slip is inferred from the frictional sliding of molecularly thin fluids and also...
متن کاملComparative Biomechanics: The Jellyfish Paradox Resolved
Studying the mechanics of swirling water has solved a mystery about the evolution of body shape and size in jellyfish.
متن کاملOrigins of Maize: A Further Paradox Resolved
van Heerwaarden et al. (2011) provide evidence of approximately 20% introgression of mexicana to maize varieties growing at over 1500 m. Below this altitude, only 1% such introgression is observed. Given the phylogenetic proximity of mexicana to parviglumis, these altitudespecific differences in admixture are more than sufficient to explain the close affinity of highland maize to teosinte; i.e....
متن کاملTyramine-induced vasodilation mediated by dopamine contamination: a paradox resolved.
We reported previously that intravenous administration of tyramine induced a paradoxical forearm vasodilation and an increase in plasma dopamine, raising the possibility that dopamine is released by or converted from tyramine in vivo. Alternatively, tyramine can be nonenzymatically oxidized into dopamine in vitro, and this contamination may be responsible for the increase in plasma dopamine and...
