Cenozoic Evolution of TRopical-Equatorial MAmmals (TREMA)–an Introduction to the Symposium Proceedings Volume
(Springer, 2017-03)
This special issue of the Journal of Mammalian Evolution coincides with the proceedings from a symposium held in conjunction with the 4th International Palaeontological Congress (IPC4, Mendoza, Argentina; September 28, ...
The words we can all agree on: a computer-generated environment to test for evolution of lexical agreement
(Universidad de Chile, 2012)
This paper reports on an experiment in which virtual agents in a computer simulated program were set up to assimilate the evolution of lexical agreement based on Complex Adaptive Systems theory (Lee & Schumann 2003, Waldrop, ...
How do developers react to API evolution? A large scale empirical study
(Springer, 2018)
Software engineering research now considers that no system is an island, but it is part of an ecosystem involving other systems, developers, and users. When a framework or a library evolves, its clients often must adapt. ...
EVOLUTION OF DISPARITY BETWEEN THE REGULAR AND VARIANT PHLOEM IN BIGNONIEAE (BIGNONIACEAE)
(BOTANICAL SOC AMER INC, 2011)
Premise of the study: The phloem is a plant tissue with a critical role in plant nutrition and signaling. However, little is still known about the evolution of this tissue. In lianas of the Bignoniaceae, two distinct types ...
Evolution of Substrate Preparation Behaviors for Cultivation of Symbiotic Fungus in Attine Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2010-05-01)
Despite their importance for the evolution of the symbiosis between Attine ants and their fungal cultivar, substrate preparation behaviors have been the focus of few studies. This study aimed to comparatively examining ...
Herschel -ATLAS: Rapid evolution of dust in galaxies over the last 5 billion years
(2011)
We present the first direct and unbiased measurement of the evolution of the dust mass function of galaxies over the past 5 billion years of cosmic history using data from the Science Demonstration Phase of the ...
Chemical evolution models for spiral disks: the Milky Way, M31, and M33
(EDP SCIENCES S A, 2010)
Context. The distribution of chemical abundances and their variation with time are important tools for understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies. In particular, the study of chemical evolution models can improve our ...
Phenotypic evolution of an Atlantic Forest passerine (Xiphorhynchus fuscus): biogeographic and systematic implications
(The Linnean Society of LondonWest Sussex, 2014-10-07)
We studied the phenotypic variation of the Atlantic Forest passerine Xiphorhynchus fuscus (Aves:
Dendrocolaptidae) with the broad aim of addressing whether the history and type of forest affected the evolution
of endemic ...
The evolution of brain size and organization in vertebrates. A program for research
(1994)
In vertebrates, brain size variability relates to two main parameters: body size and ecological factors (in particular diet and foraging strategy). It has been considered by many authors that evolutionary brain growth is ...
