Muito importante também ressaltar a cumplicidade e o grande apoio dos meus amigos, principalmente neste momento, aqueles que muito contribuíram com a realização do presente trabalho, em especial a Gustavo Crusoé, mais ainda outros grandes parceiros como Juracy do Amor, e Lucas Viana. Agradeço também todo o suporte fornecido pela UFBA e FAPESB, ao programa de pós- graduação em ecologia e biomonitoramento pela excelência de ensino e fundamentação que pude usufruir durante o desenvolvimento da pesquisa que realizei. Torna-se, contudo, mais do que necessário agradecer e reverenciar o meu orientador, Charbel El-hani, pela incomensurável dedicação e competência com a qual conduziu os sucessos aqui alcançados. Por fim, mas não menos importante, ao professor Marcelo Napoli pelo engajamento e colaboração com o projeto de pesquisa proposto. v Índice Capítulo 1 – A abordagem do pluralismo de processos e da evo-devo em livros didáticos de Biologia Evolutiva e Zoologia de Vertebrados .................................................................................................... 7 Resumo ................................................................................................................................................ 7 Abstract ............................................................................................................................................... 8 1.

  • Maintenance of Quantitative Genetic Variance Under Partial Self-Fertilization, with Implications for Evolution of Selfing
    GENETICS | INVESTIGATION Maintenance of Quantitative Genetic Variance Under Partial Self-Fertilization, with Implications for Evolution of Selfing Russell Lande*,1 and Emmanuelle Porcher† *Department of Life Sciences, Imperial College London, Silwood Park Campus, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 7PY, United Kingdom, and †Centre d’Ecologie et des Sciences de la Conservation (UMR7204), Sorbonne Universités, MNHN, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, UPMC, 75005 Paris, France ABSTRACT We analyze two models of the maintenance of quantitative genetic variance in a mixed-mating system of self-fertilization and outcrossing. In both models purely additive genetic variance is maintainedbymutationandrecombinationunder stabilizing selection on the phenotype of one or more quantitative characters. The Gaussian allele model (GAM) involves a finite number of unlinked loci in an infinitely large population, with a normal distribution of allelic effects at each locus within lineages selfed for t consecutive generations since their last outcross. The infinitesimal model for partial selfing (IMS) involves an infinite number of loci in a large but finite population, with a normal distribution of breeding values in lineages of selfing age t. In both models a stable equilibrium genetic variance exists, the outcrossed equilibrium, nearly equal to that under random mating, for all selfing rates, r, up to critical value,^r;the purging threshold, which approximately equals the mean fitness under random mating relative to that under complete selfing. In the GAM a second stable equilibrium, the purged equilibrium, exists for any positive selfing rate, with genetic variance less than or equal to that under pure selfing; as r increases above ^r the outcrossed equilibrium collapses sharply to the purged equilibrium genetic variance.

We present an algorithm and training paradigm designed specifically to address this: decontextualized hierarchical representation learning (DHRL). By combining a generative model chaining procedure with a ladder network architecture and latent arXiv:2009.09893v1 [cs.CV] 31 Aug 2020 space regularization for inference, DHRL address the limitations of small datasets and encourages a disentangled set of hierarchically organized features. In addition to providing a tractable path for analyzing complex hierarchal patterns using variation inference, this approach is generative and can be directly combined with empirical and theoretical approaches. To highlight the extensibility and usefulness of DHRL, we demonstrate this method in application to a question from evolutionary biology.

Müller Dlaczego rozszerzona synteza ewolucyjna jest niezbędna * 1. Wprowadzenie Sto lat temu w dziedzinie fizyki zauważono, że „pojęcia, które okazały się pożyteczne przy porządkowaniu, zdobywają u nas łatwo taki autorytet, że zapo- minamy o ich ziemskim pochodzeniu i przyjmujemy je jako dane mające cha- rakter niezmiennej rzeczywistości. Przypisujemy im następnie miano «koniecz- ności myślowych», «danych a priori» itd. Tego rodzaju błędy często przez długi czas zagradzają drogę postępowi naukowemu”. 1 Biologia ewolucyjna znajduje się obecnie w podobnej sytuacji. Mocno ugruntowany paradygmat, mający swe korzenie w unifikacji teoretycznej, której dokonano około osiemdziesiąt lat te- mu, nazywany nowoczesną syntezą (MS — modern synthesis) lub Syntetyczną Teorią Ewolucji, nadal stanowi dominujące ujęcie biologii ewolucyjnej. W mię- dzyczasie w naukach biologicznych nastąpił znaczący rozwój. Zrozumiano ma- terialną podstawę procesu dziedziczenia, powstały też zupełnie nowe dziedziny GERD B.

  • Troubled Waters: a Call for Action
    TROUBLED WATERS: A CALL FOR ACTION We, the undersigned marine scientists and conservation biologists, call upon the world's citizens and governments to recognize that the living sea is in trouble and to take decisive action. We must act quickly to stop further severe, irreversible damage to the sea's biological diversity and integrity. Marine ecosystems are home to many phyla that live nowhere else. As vital components of our planet's life support systems, they protect shorelines from flooding, break down wastes, moderate climate and maintain a breathable atmosphere. Marine species provide a livelihood for millions of people, food, medicines, raw materials and recreation for billions, and are intrinsically important. Life in the world's estuaries, coastal waters, enclosed seas and oceans is increasingly threatened by: 1) overexploitation of species, 2) physical alteration of ecosystems, 3) pollution, 4) introduction of alien species, and 5) global atmospheric change. Scientists have documented the extinction of marine species, disappearance of ecosystems and loss of resources worth billions of dollars. Overfishing has eliminated all but a handful of California's white abalones. Swordfish fisheries have collapsed as more boats armed with better technology chase ever fewer fish. Northern right whales have not recovered six decades after their exploitation supposedly ceased. Steller sea lion populations have dwindled as fishing for their food has intensified. Cyanide and dynamite fishing are destroying the world's richest coral reefs. Bottom trawling is scouring continental shelf seabeds from the poles to the tropics. Mangrove forests are vanishing. Logging and farming on hillsides are exposing soils to rains that wash silt into the sea, killing kelps and reef corals.
