When does feedback facilitate learning of words?
Some researchers have suggested that although feedback may enhance performance during associative learning, it does so at the expense of later retention. To examine this issue, subjects (N = 258) learned Luganda-English word pairs. After 2 initial exposures to the materials, subjects were tested on each item several times, with the presence and type of feedback varying between subjects. A final...
متن کاملWhen gene flow really matters: gene flow in applied evolutionary biology
In the last half century, gene flow has moved from relative obscurity to a well-recognized component of evolution. Gene flow, the successful transfer of alleles from one population to another, is now known to vary considerably among species, populations, and individuals as well as over time. It frequently occurs at rates sufficient to play an important evolutionary role for populations of both ...
متن کاملWhen maladaptive gene flow does not increase selection.
Populations receiving high maladaptive gene flow are expected to experience strong directional selection-because gene flow pulls mean phenotypes away from local fitness peaks. We tested this prediction by means of a large and replicated mark-recapture study of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) in two stream populations. One of the populations (outlet) experiences high gene flow fr...
متن کاملHybridization facilitates evolutionary rescue
The resilience of populations to rapid environmental degradation is a major concern for biodiversity conservation. When environments deteriorate to lethal levels, species must evolve to adapt to the new conditions to avoid extinction. Here, we test the hypothesis that evolutionary rescue may be enabled by hybridization, because hybridization increases genetic variability. Using experimental evo...
متن کاملWhen does human life begin?: an evolutionary perspective
The question – »when does human life begin?« – is without doubt an important one, and the answer to it has different yet equally profound consequences in diverse fields such as medicine, theology, ethics, and anthropology. But before one can begin to tackle the topic and its ramifications, one must first be certain that that one is not conflating a conception about »the beginning of human life«...
