Analysis of Polycerate Mutants Reveals the Evolutionary Co-option of HOXD1 for Horn Patterning in Bovidae

Denis Duboule, Jozsef Zakany, Aurélie Hintermann

In the course of evolution, pecorans (i.e., higher ruminants) developed a remarkable diversity of osseous cranial appendages, collectively referred to as "headgear," which likely share the same origin and genetic basis. However, the nature and function of ...

The institutional challenges of scaling-up housing retrofit: the Swiss cities of Basel and Sion

Eghbal Arian Mahzouni

Purpose This paper aims to discuss the nexus between two societal (sub) systems of housing and energy supply to shed new light on the key institutional barriers to socio-technical energy transition in the built environment. The key research question is to ...

Common and unique strategies of male killing evolved in two distinct Drosophila symbionts

Bruno Lemaitre, Toshiyuki Harumoto

Male killing is a selfish reproductive manipulation caused by symbiotic bacteria, where male offspring of infected hosts are selectively killed. The underlying mechanisms and the process of their evolution are of great interest not only in terms of fundame ...

H0LiCOW. VI. Testing the fidelity of lensed quasar host galaxy reconstruction

Frédéric Courbin, Adriano Agnello

The empirical correlation between the mass of a supermassive black hole (M-BH) and its host galaxy properties is widely considered to be an evidence of their co-evolution. A powerful way to test the co-evolution scenario and learn about the feedback proces ...

The Seamless Peer and Cloud Evolution Framework

Dario Floreano, Joshua Evan Auerbach, Giovanni Iacca, Guillaume Paul Olivier Leclerc

Evolutionary algorithms are increasingly being applied to problems that are too computationally expensive to run on a single personal computer due to costly fitness function evaluations and/or large numbers of fitness evaluations. Here, we introduce the Se ...

Pattern detection for conceptual schema recovery in data-intensive systems

Gianluigi Viscusi

In this paper, an approach for information systems reverse engineering is proposed and applied. The aim is to support a unified perspective to the reverse engineering process of both data and software. At the state of the art, indeed, many methods, techniq ...

The alignment between institutions and technology in network industries

Matthias Finger, Nicolas Crettenand

Network industries, such as electricity, railways and air transport, are very complex technical, economic, and political systems in which the alignment between technology and institutions has a significant impact on performance. This alignment has been stu ...

The Role of Invariants in the Co-evolution of Business and Technical Service Specification of an Enterprise

Alain Wegmann

We explore invariants as a linking mechanism between the business and technical service perspectives: From the business perspec- tive, invariants can be used to model (business) requirements of an en- terprise; from the technical perspective, invariants ex ...

IL-1β Suppresses Innate IL-25 and IL-33 Production and Maintains Helminth Chronicity

Nicola Harris, Benjamin John Marsland, Mario Michael Zaiss, Ilaria Mosconi, Nadine Guenat

Approximately 2 billion people currently suffer from intestinal helminth infections, which are typically chronic in nature and result in growth retardation, vitamin A deficiency, anemia and poor cognitive function. Such chronicity results from co-evolution ...

Historical contingency affects signaling strategies and competitive abilities in evolving populations of simulated robots

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

One of the key innovations during the evolution of life on earth has been the emergence of efficient communication systems, yet little is known about the causes and consequences of the great diversity within and between species. By conducting experimental ...

Co-evolution of Morphology and Control of Virtual Legged Robots for the Steering Task

Auke Ijspeert, Soha Pouya, Jesse van den Kieboom, Ken Larpin

Co-evolution of morphology and control is a powerful approach in robotics to study performance on a particular task, considering mechanical structure and control as a whole to accomplish a certain goal. Co-evolutionary methods have been used to study the e ...

HESS Opinions: Hydrologic predictions in a changing environment: behavioral modeling

Bettina Schaefli

Most hydrological models are valid at most only in a few places and cannot be reasonably transferred to other places or to far distant time periods. Transfer in space is difficult because the models are conditioned on past observations at particular places ...

The evolution of communication in robot societies

Sara Mitri

Communication is fundamental to life on earth. All social organisms, from bacteria to humans, use communicative signals to coordinate their behaviors with members of their own and other species. Despite its key role in social organization, many questions r ...

Tinkering with constraints in the evolution of the vertebrate limb anterior-posterior polarity

Denis Duboule, Jozsef Zakany

Genes belonging to both HoxA and HoxD clusters are required for proper vertebrate limb development. Mice lacking all, or parts of, Hoxa and Hoxd functions in forelimbs, as well as mice with a gain of function of these genes in the early limb bud, have help ...
