Artificial Symbiogenesis and Differing Reproduction Rates
نویسنده
چکیده
Symbiosis is the phenomenon in which organisms of different species live together in close association. Symbiogenesis is the name given to the process by which symbiotic partners combine and unify. This letter reconsiders previous work using the NKCS model of coevolution to explore symbiogenesis. In particular, the role of different replication rates between the coevolving partners is considered. This is shown to provide a broader scope for the emergence of endosymbioses and subsequent horizontal gene transfers.

Association between Plasma and Milk Urea on the Insemination Day and Pregnancy Rate in Early Lactation Dairy Cows
Lactatingdairy cows (n=177) fed with grass and corn silage ad libitum kept in pasture, were randomly assigned to evaluate how urea nitrogen in plasma and milk can be related to their pregnancy rate. Blood and milk samples were collected on the artificial insemination (AI) day to evaluate plasma urea nitrogen (PUN) and milk urea nitrogen (MUN) as well as progesterone levels, excluding cows with ...
متن کاملSymbiogenesis in Learning Classifier Systems
Symbiosis is the phenomenon in which organisms of different species live together in close association, resulting in a raised level of fitness for one or more of the organisms. Symbiogenesis is the name given to the process by which symbiotic partners combine and unify, that is, become genetically linked, giving rise to new morphologies and physiologies evolutionarily more advanced than their c...
متن کاملImprovement of vitrification of in vitro produced buffalo embryos with special reference to sex ratio following vitrification
Cryopreservation and sexing of embryos are integrated into commercial embryo transfer technologies. To improve the effectiveness of vitrification of in vitro produced buffalo embryos, two experiments were conducted. The first evaluated the effect of exposure time (2 and 3 min) and developmental stage (morula and blastocysts) on the viability and development of vitrified buffalo embryos. Morphol...

Background: To ascertain whether using ultrasound guidance during intrauterine insemination (IUI) could increase pregnancy rates. Materials and Methods: The population under study consisted of 73 consecutive couples subjected to IUI in our Human Reproduction Unit, between September and December 2006, with a total of 231 IUI cycles performed. The patients were randomized using a computer-generat...

Motives Natural Evolution and Artificial Evolution Whereas natural evolution is prolific and diverse, artificial evolutionary algorithms (EAs) model a convergent processthe adaptation of a species within a fixed environment. The broader, long-term view of natural evolution includes diversification, co-adaptation, and mutually beneficial relationships as well as local competitive pressures. Enl...
