Life history and morphological evolution
Morphological evolution is influenced by a wide variety of processes, at levels that likely range from molecules to communities, or even ecosystems. The relative contributions of these processes and other biological properties to morphological evolution in individual lineages, and their ultimate role in mediating the evolutionary success of these groups, remain fundamental problems in evolution...
متن کاملArtificial evolution of life history and behavior.
We present an individual-based model that uses artificial evolution to predict fit behavior and life-history traits on the basis of environmental data and organism physiology. Our main purpose is to investigate whether artificial evolution is a suitable tool for studying life history and behavior of real biological organisms. The evolutionary adaptation is founded on a genetic algorithm that se...
متن کاملRapid evolution of a life history trait.
The copepod Diaptomus sanguineus begins diapause in permanent ponds in late March as an adaptation to avoid summer fish predation. During a study of copepod populations in two Rhode Island ponds, a severe drought dried one pond killing all fish. The second (control) pond did not dry, and no fish were killed. Before the drought copepods in the two ponds entered diapause on nearly the same date. ...
متن کاملA lifestyle view of life-history evolution.
T he evolution of life cycles or life histories is one of the most important topics in behavioral and population ecology and in evolutionary biology. There is inherent interest in explaining the diversity of life cycles among species: These span a range from rapidly multiplying but short-lived bacteria and yeast to the long life and slow breeding of the wandering albatross (1). However, when we...
متن کاملMemes in Artificial Life Simulations of Life History Evolution
The effect that learning has on Life History Evolution has recently been studied using a series of Artificial Life simulations in which populations of competing individuals evolve to learn to perform well on simple abstract tasks. Those simulations assumed that learning was achieved by identifying patterns in sets of training data, i.e. through direct experience. In practice, learning is not on...
