概括
费舍尔关于自然选择的基本定理是一个适用于所有进化的种群的一般定理,隐含包括变异. 这篇回复驳斥了关于定理不完整或被假设所阻碍的说法,捍卫了进化生物学的核心原则.
科学领域:
- 理论上的人口遗传学.
- 进化生物学是进化的生物学.
- 数学生物学的数学生物学
背景情况:
- 费舍尔在1930年提出的自然选择基本定理,由于其复杂的表述,因此面临着许多解释.
- 巴塞纳和桑福德 (2018) 最近的工作质疑定理的完整性和假设,特别是关于突变和达尔文进化.
- 这项研究解决了Basener和Sanford的批评,为定理的普遍性和现有框架提供了辩护.
研究的目的:
- 为了反驳巴塞纳和桑福德关于费舍尔自然选择的基本定理的说法.
- 证明定理是一个适用于所有不断变化的群体的一般原则.
- 断言该定理隐含地包含了必要的元素,如祖先-后代变异,不需要扩展.
主要方法:
- 重新评估费舍尔自然选择的基本定理.
- 人口遗传学原则的理论分析.
- 在Basener和Sanford (2018) 中提出的数值模拟的批评.
主要成果:
- 费舍尔定理是进化生物学的一个一般定理,适用于任何不断进化的群体.
- 该定理隐含地包含了祖先-后代变异,这与巴塞纳和桑福德的断言相反.
- 贝塞纳和桑福德提出的数值模拟被发现产生了不切实际的结果.
结论:
- 费舍尔关于自然选择的基本定理仍然是进化生物学中一个强大而普遍的原则.
- 巴塞纳和桑福德的批评是基于误解和有缺陷的模拟.
- 作者认为,巴塞纳和桑福德的工作可能旨在破坏普遍的共同血统.

Regression Toward the Mean
6.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Behaviorism
2.3K
The field of behaviorism was pioneered by figures such as Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner fundamentally shifted the focus of psychology to the observable and controllable aspects of human and animal behavior. This shift marked a critical evolution in the discipline, emphasizing scientific rigor and experimental methodology.
The core premise of behaviorism is its focus on observable behavior rather than internal thoughts or feelings. This approach argues that true scientific...

The Scientific Method
59.4K
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Fundamental Attribution Error
12.9K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

The Nativist Approach
48
The nativist approach to infant cognitive development proposes that infants are born with inherent knowledge structures that allow them to interpret the world almost immediately. This perspective contrasts with earlier developmental theories, such as those proposed by Jean Piaget, which emphasized a more gradual acquisition of cognitive abilities through interaction with the environment. One key concept in this approach is object permanence — the understanding that objects continue to...

Synthetic Biology
4.7K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.
