is the co-founder of the non-profit sustainability education organization GlobalESD.org, and a researcher / education outreach coordinator at the Department of Comparative Cultural Psychology of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. (prosocial.world)
Adaptations2
This universality suggests that art is related to evolutionary adaptations. (wikipedia.org)
Behavioural ecology: Focuses on studying animal behaviour and how it relates to ecological interactions and adaptations. (gy4es.org)
Evolution6
She then moved to Germany to work at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology & Inland Fisheries before joining the Department of Evolution & Ecology at the University of California Davis in 2019. (royalsociety.org)
Applied ecology has a broad interface with evolutionary ecology because human actions can disrupt natural selection and pest evolution can complicate every management problem. (ubc.ca)
Ecology explores how organisms adapt to their environment over generations through natural selection, leading to the evolution of species. (gy4es.org)
The exploration of learning as an evolutionary process and evolution as a learning process holds untapped educational potential. (prosocial.world)
We argue that the systematic exploration of learning as an evolutionary process, and evolution as a learning process holds untapped educational potential, a potential that is hampered by systemic conceptual biases among mainstream evolution educators. (prosocial.world)
Johnson's book offers a needed antidote to the current trend of ideological opposition to any mention of evolution in human affairs, wherein social science "training has burned into [scholars] the idea that evolutionary explanations of human behavior are fundamentally flawed, hopelessly deterministic, or morally reproachable. (issforum.org)
Biology2
A monthly newsletter to keep you updated with upcoming online conferences and seminars from the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology world. (ecologyconferences.com)
Topics include basic concepts of botany, anatomy, morphology, physiology, taxonomy, ecology, cell biology, genetics and plant breeding, and tropical environment and effects of climatic factors on crop growth and development in the South Pacific. (usp.ac.fj)
Explanations1
It also includes evolutionary explanations for what is considered aesthetically pleasing or not. (wikipedia.org)
Pathways3
Such 'time-depth' perspectives will help offer insight into how responsive collective behaviours may be to external environmental influence throughout animals lives and whether there are certain pathways of evolutionary least resistance in the mechanisms underlying these behaviours. (royalsociety.org)
This paper argues that some of the strong beliefs held by humans have deep biological roots in our evolutionary past, and the neuronal pathways and structures that support them can be found in other species. (bvsalud.org)
The paper argues that the study of belief as a modern scientific discipline will require consideration of the evolutionary context through which the neural pathways associated with belief formation, maintenance and endorsement have emerged. (bvsalud.org)
Genetics1
Genetics has given rise to a number of subfields, including molecular genetics , epigenetics and population genetics . (alquds.edu)
Ecosystem3
Ecosystem ecology and community ecology are the important focus at present but are hampered by a lack of a clear vision of what needs to be done and what can be done. (ubc.ca)
The critical questions in ecosystemecology are currently too vague to be studied in a realistic time period of less than 50 years. (ubc.ca)
Ecology investigates how energy flows through ecosystems , from producers (such as plants) to consumers (such as animals), and how nutrients are cycled within and between different ecosystem components. (gy4es.org)
Thesis2
One great advantage of studying behavioural ecology has been that it is quick, perfectly suited to asking simple questions, devising experimental tests, and then being able to write a report, or a thesis on these results (Davies et al. (ubc.ca)
In a general sense applied ecology is a step more difficult than behavioural ecology because answering the applied problems or management has a longer time frame than the typical three-year thesis project. (ubc.ca)
Principles2
Applied ecology relies heavily on the principles of population ecology, one level above the individual studies of behavioural and natural history research. (ubc.ca)
The principles and scope of ecology provide a framework for understanding and studying the relationships between organisms and their environment . (gy4es.org)
Phenomena1
Rather than operating as genuinely adaptive phenomena associated with evolutionary advantage, we suggest that belief systems emerge as a by-product of evolutionary pressures. (bvsalud.org)
Ecological4
Behavioural ecology became popular as one of the early outcomes of natural history observations within the broad framework of asking questions about how individuals in a population behave, and what the ecological and evolutionary consequences of these behaviours are to adaptation and possible future evolution. (ubc.ca)
2012). Behavioural ecology is one of the strongest research areas of ecological science and provides entertainment for students of natural history and excellent science to understand individual behaviour and how it fits into population studies. (ubc.ca)
Ecology aims to understand how organisms interact with their environment, how energy and nutrients flow through ecosystems, and how ecological processes influence the distribution and abundance of species. (gy4es.org)
Aquatic ecology is the study of ecological interactions, processes, and organisms in aquatic environments, including both freshwater and marine ecosystems. (gy4es.org)
Universals1
The conference thus reflects current activities within the broad area of "diversity linguistics": research on little-studied languages, language typology and universals, comparative/historical linguistics, and evolutionary linguistics. (mpg.de)
Patterns1
Ecology studies the diversity of life and the distribution patterns of different species across ecosystems. (gy4es.org)
Fisheries1
All applied ecology heavily interreacts with human usage of the environment and the economics of farming, fisheries, and wildlife harvesting. (ubc.ca)
Mechanisms2
Evolutionary musicology is a subfield of biomusicology that grounds the psychological mechanisms of music perception and production in evolutionary theory. (wikipedia.org)
It investigates the mechanisms and processes that drive adaptation and evolutionary change. (gy4es.org)
Organisms5
Applied ecology is one of the oldest fields of ecology since it arose more than 100 years ago from local problems of how organisms affected human livelihoods. (ubc.ca)
Ecology is the scientific study of the relationships between organisms and their environment . (gy4es.org)
Ecology examines various levels of organization, ranging from individual organisms to populations, communities, ecosystems, and the biosphere as a whole. (gy4es.org)
Ecology recognizes the interconnectedness and interdependence of all living organisms and their environment. (gy4es.org)
Overall, ecology provides a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex dynamics of the natural world and the relationships between organisms and their environment. (gy4es.org)
Psychology3
Evolutionary aesthetics refers to evolutionary psychology theories in which the basic aesthetic preferences of Homo sapiens are argued to have evolved in order to enhance survival and reproductive success. (wikipedia.org)
Evolutionary psychology extends this to psychological traits including aesthetical preferences. (wikipedia.org)
Another explanation is that these features are those evolutionary psychology predicts should be popular for evolutionary reasons. (wikipedia.org)
Research4
She is trained in economic theory, applied research skills and econometric analysis, across different fields and subfields of economics. (envecon.eu)
Her research interests include energy, environmental, behavioural and competition economics. (envecon.eu)
Ciaran is particularly interested in the development of policy applications derived from behavioural economic research. (envecon.eu)
It will provide a representative overview of past achievements and future prospects of research within the various subfields of diversity linguistics. (mpg.de)
Conservation3
Conservation ecology is the new kid on the block. (ubc.ca)
The essential problems of conservation ecology were described elegantly by Caughley (1994). (ubc.ca)
Conservation issues are the most visible of all issues in population and community ecology, and they are often the most difficult to resolve when science dictates one conservation solution that interferes with the dominant economic view of human society. (ubc.ca)
Fields1
The team offer expertise and experience from fields such as economics, engineering, political science, behavioural science, environmental science and data science. (envecon.eu)
Human1
Ecology acknowledges the significant influence of human activities on ecosystems and the environment. (gy4es.org)
Political1
With the rise of political science as a separate discipline, political theory was made one of its subfields. (sciencetheory.net)
Preferences1
Such evolutionary based preferences are not necessarily static but may vary depending on environmental cues. (wikipedia.org)
Science1
