A meta-analysis by J. T. Jost, Glaser, A. W. Kruglanski, and F. Sulloway (2003) concluded that political conservatism is partially motivated the management of uncertainty threat. In this reply to Greenberg E. Jonas (2003), conceptual issues are clarified, numerous anomalies explained, alleged counterexamples incorporated with a dynamic model takes into account differences between “young” “old” movements. Studies directly pitting rigidity-of-the-right hypothesis against ideological extremity...
Species hybridization can lead to fitness costs, species collapse, and novel evolutionary trajectories in changing environments. Hybridization is predicted be more common when environmental conditions change rapidly. Here, we test patterns of three sympatric tree finch (small Camarhynchus parvulus, medium pauper, large finch: psittacula) that are currently recognized on Floreana Island, Galápagos Archipelago. Genetic analysis microsatellite data from contemporary samples showed two genetic...

Although predicted by theory, there is no direct evidence that an animal can define arbitrary location in space as a coordinate on odor grid. Here we show humans do so. Using spatial match-to-sample procedure, were led to random within room diffused with two odors. After brief sampling and disorientation, they had return this location. Over three conditions, participants access different sensory stimuli: olfactory only, visual final control condition olfactory, visual, or auditory stimuli....
The rate of evolution depends on the strength selection, which may be particularly strong for introduced parasites and their naive hosts. Because natural selection acts phenotypes because can alter host phenotype, one fruitful starting point to measure impact novel pathogens is quantify parasite-induced changes phenotype. Our study system Darwin's finches Floreana Island, Galápagos Archipelago, virulent fly larvae Philornis downsi that were first discovered in finch nests 1997. We use an...
Charles Darwin's historic visit to the Galápagos Islands in 1835 represents a landmark annals of science. But contrary legend long surrounding famous visit, he continued believe that species were immutable for nearly year and half after leaving these islands. This delay evolutionary appreciation evidence is largely owing numerous misconceptions entertained about islands, their unique organic inhabitants, during Beagle voyage. For example, Darwin mistakenly thought tortoise–adult specimens...
