| | | Post-doctoral Position in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience at Parc Científic of University of Barcelona | | 2007-12-06 21:36:47 | | Applications are invited for a full-time post-doctoral research position in the Speech Perception, Production and Bilingualism (SPPB) Group (http://www.ub.es/pbasic/sppb) at the Parc Científic of University of Barcelona (Spain).The post is part of BRAINGLOT, a Spanish Research Network on Bilingualism and Cognitive Neuroscience (Consolider-Ingenio 2010 Scheme, Spanish Ministry of Science and Education).ProjectThe project brings together the efforts of six research groups integrating researchers from different scientific disciplines with the common purpose of addressing the phenomenon of bilingualism. The project is conceived with an open and multidisciplinary vocation, as one of its major anchor points places the stress on the mutual influence (both in terms of cognitive and neural processes) between bilingualism and other functions such as auditory perception, multisensory integration, and the executive control attention.This is an excellent opportunity for professional growth for tho... | | By: American scholarship Information | | |

| | The morphogenesis of evolutionary developmental biology (Int. J, Dev. Biol.) | | 2006-09-30 23:35:38 | | [Gilbert, Int. J. Dev. Biol. 47: 467-477 (2003)]Abstract:The early studies of evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) come from several sources. Tributaries flowing into Evo-Devo came from such disciplines as embryology, developmental genetics, evolutionary biology, ecology, paleontology, systematics, medical embryology and mathematical modeling. This essay will trace one of the major pathways, that from evolutionary embryology to Evo-Devo and it will show the interactions of this pathway with two other sources of Evo-Devo: ecological developmental biology and medical developmental biology. Together, these three fields are forming a more inclusive evolutionary developmental biology that is revitalizing and providing answers to old and important questions involving the formation of biodiversity on Earth. The phenotype of Evo-Devo is limited by internal constraints on what could be known given the methods and equipment of the time and it has been framed by external factors that in... | | By: Evolution Research - Main Blog | | |
| | Evolution Of Morphological Integration: Developmental Accommodation Of Stress-induced Variation | | 2006-03-15 06:18:29 | | Contents:1) Press ReleaseStress is a major factor in evolution, but for stress-induced modifications to have evolutionary importance they have to be inherited and persist in a sufficient number of individuals within a population. This requires an organism to survive stress and reproduce at least once; thus stress-induced variation has to be accommodated by an organism without much reduction in its functionality. How is such accommodation accomplished?In an article in the September issue of The American Naturalist, Alexander V. Badyaev (University of Arizona) and colleagues show that complexity and cohesiveness of foraging structures of shrews enables accommodation of stress-induced developmental abnormalities in individual components of morphological complexes. Such developmental compensation and accommodation not only allow shrews growing under stressful environments to maintain locally adaptive foraging morphology, but also provide a mechanism for stress-induced evolutionary change.Full text here2) Article[Badyaev et al, The American Naturalist, Sept '05]Abstract:Extreme environmental change during growth often results in an increase in developmental abnormalities in the morphology of an organism. The evolutionary significance of such stress-induced variation depends on the recurrence of a stressor and on the degree to which developmental errors can be accommodated by an organism's ontogeny without significant loss of function. We subjected populations of four species of soricid shrews to an extreme environment during growth and measured changes in the patterns of integration and accommodation of stress-induced developmental errors in a complex of mandibular traits. Adults that grew under an extreme environment had lower integration of morphological variation among mandibular traits and highly elevated fluctuating asymmetry in these traits, compared to individuals that grew under the control conditions. However, traits differed strongly in the magnitude of respo... | | By: Evolution Research - Main Blog | | |
