Protein Coevolution and Coadaptation in the Vertebrate bc1 Complex
… was characterized in terms of coevolution and coadaptation. Coevolution is described as reciprocal local biochemical shifts based on phylogenetic location and results in overall maintenance. Coadaptation, on the other hand, is more dynamic and is described as coordinated local biochemical …

Genetic and Evolutionary Analyses of Drosophila Melanogaster Divergently Selected for Geotaxis
… "genetic homeostasis" was discussed in terms of coadaptation. These empirical observations have allowed a greater understanding of genetic changes associated with long-term selection, the genetics associated with instinctive behavior, and the evolution of coadaptation.

Fitness Landscapes, Genetic Interactions, and the Fitness of Hybrids
… can learn from introgression line studies about coadaptation between alleles and the fixability of heterosis. Consolidating the classical theories of heterosis, I illustrate how this model generates complex genetic architectures characterised by transient overdominance. Finally, I present an …

Clinico-Chemical Parameters of Fetal Fluids and Maternal Blood in the Bovine Model: Effects of Genetics and Sex and Relationships with Feto-Placental Phenotype
… environment and represent maternal-offspring coadaptation. Paternal genome and maternal by paternal genome interactions exert stronger effects on amniotic fluid suggesting greater fetal influence and (epi)genetic regulation in line with the conflict-of-interest hypothesis. Conceptus sex had …

Population Biology of the Tan Riffleshell (<I>Epioblasma florentina walkeri</I>) and the Effects of Substratum and Light on Juvenile Propagation
… that this compatibility has resulted from coadaptation between the tan riffleshell and fantail darter populations in Indian Creek. The tan riffleshell population in Indian Creek was estimated to be 1078 adults (95% CI= 760 - 1853), using Schumacher's modification of Schnabel's maximum …

Studies on Selection in Natural and Experimental Populations of Drosophila Pseudoobscura
<p>Two genetic characters in Drosophila pseudoobscura were utilized in an investigation of some of the genetic mechanisms in evolution. The characters are (1) body size, which is a continuously-varying, polygenic trait, and (2) the arrangement of genes along the third chromosome, which is a …

Modeling and Measuring Affordability as Fitness
Affordability of products and services is an economic benefit that should accrue to consumers, whether they are corporations, government agencies or individuals. This concept of affordability goes beyond conventional wisdom that considers affordability as the ability to pay the price of a product …
