Only ONE Fitness Maximand Per Unit Of Selection
|
| |
...JE:- No. As long as a _maximand fitness_ is mutually maintained any proposed fitness altruism can only represent a mutualized investment for the fitness benefit of all the parties concerned. Because Haldane and Hamilton did not include a proposed maximand fitness per unit of selection _they have no fitness constant_. The net result of this... more »

...JE:- NO. They must remain optimal for the total reproductive fitness of each fertile form. They can only become equal at death. ...JE:- NO. It means that the fertile form with the better complimentary catabolic heritable phenotype (the phenotype which maximizes the total number of fertile forms reproduced per population) can alone be selected.... more »

Early Stress Alters Epigenome
|
| |
Posted On TheScientist.com "Scientists have figured out how stress experienced early in life can cause long-lasting changes in physiology and behavior -- via epigenetics. Image: Max-Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich Specifically, early stress appears to induce epigenetic changes in a specific regulatory region of the genome, affecting the expression of a... more »
