Which Primates Recognize Themselves in Mirrors?
Interest in the comparative study of mirror self-recognition persists because of the implications for self-awareness and the possibility of a cognitive divide among primates. Evidence from many studies carried out over 40 years shows that humans and great apes are distinguished from other nonhuman primates by their capacity for self-recognition. We review some recent developments in the field, ...

Many species experience relaxed sources of natural selection that affect the evolution of their morphologic, physiologic, and behavioral traits (Fong et al. 1995). Relaxed selection can occur when environmental or social conditions change. These changes may no longer favor traits that were adaptive in the previous conditions (Coss 1999). The persistence of these traits will depend on trade-offs...

Freud confirmed with his studies that universal human conflicts and neurosis drive people into the artistic creativity and the expression by drawing is a way to understand the inner world of the human spirit. Jung searched the universality and...
متن کاملThe Mechanism by Which Arabinoxylanases Can Recognize Highly Decorated Xylans*
The enzymatic degradation of plant cell walls is an important biological process of increasing environmental and industrial significance. Xylan, a major component of the plant cell wall, consists of a backbone of β-1,4-xylose (Xylp) units that are often decorated with arabinofuranose (Araf) side chains. A large penta-modular enzyme, CtXyl5A, was shown previously to specifically target arabinoxy...

The plausibility of the defence is criticized because of poorly designed experiments, unreliable experimental effects, illegitimate cross-experimental comparisons, false inferences and anecdotal observations. A ...
