Understanding Microbial Divisions of Labor
Divisions of labor are ubiquitous in nature and can be found at nearly every level of biological organization, from the individuals of a shared society to the cells of a single multicellular organism. Many different types of microbes have also evolved a division of labor among its colony members. Here we review several examples of microbial divisions of labor, including cases from both multicel...
متن کاملConfiguring the User: social divisions of labor in GIS
Research on "Society and GIS" has fallen into a trap to the extent that it separates these two realms. As an antidote to rampant technological determinism, this paper demonstrates how the highly technical decisions inside GIS software have a distinctly social flavor, in particular they specify a division of labor (and thus of knowledge). In the case of map registration, the software adopts an o...
متن کاملUnderstanding microbial cooperation.
The field of microbial cooperation has grown enormously over the last decade, leading to improved experimental techniques and a growing awareness of collective behavior in microbes. Unfortunately, many of our theoretical tools and concepts for understanding cooperation fail to take into account the peculiarities of the microbial world, namely strong selection strengths, unique population struct...
متن کاملUnderstanding microbial metabolism.
Metabolism encompasses the biochemical basis of life and as such spans all biological disciplines. Many decades of basic research, primarily in microbes, have resulted in extensive characterization of metabolic components and regulatory paradigms. With this basic knowledge in hand and the technologies currently available, it has become feasible to move toward an understanding of microbial metab...
متن کاملDivisions of labor in computer-assisted design: a comparison of cases from work and school
This paper uses the concept of division of labor (Strauss, 1985) to explore two design settings (a middle-school classroom and a professional architecture firm) where people use both computer and paper-based practices for designing. I report that in both settings collaborative labor is divided between designers who work on paper and draftspersons who work with computers. Reasons for this divisi...
