The main characteristics of Darwin's life and work will be examined, as well as the developments which occurred after his death, especially neodarwinism and the synthetic theory of organic change. In which ways the extra...

Genomic and darwinian medicine deal with the application of hereditary and evolutionary principles for the understanding of health and disease. The progress in molecular and bioinformatic knowledge is making possible thr...

The article analyzes the intellectual movement of the 1870?s generation from the perspective of the political process. It criticizes the interpretations of this movement which emphasize the influence of foreign doctrines...

Una nueva especie del complejo Liolaemus darwinii es descrita para el centro de la provincia de Mendoza, Argentina. Se parece más a L. olongasta y L. laurenti en que los machos adultos tienen pigmento negro en el pliegu...

Existe la creencia popular de que los lagartos del género Diplolaemus (Leiosauridae) de Patagonia, Argentina, son capaces de conferir mordeduras venenosas que pueden causar inflamación e incluso la muerte de animales d...

Ab initio effective core potentials (ECP’s) have been generated to replace the innermost core electron for third-row (K–Au), fourth-row (Rb–Ag), and fifth-row (Cs–Au) atoms. The outermost core orbitals—correspo...

A consistent set of ab initio effective core potentials (ECP) has been generated for the main group elements from Na to Bi using the procedure originally developed by Kahn. The ECP’s are derived from all-electron numer...

Ab initio effective core potentials (ECP’s) have been generated to replace the Coulomb, exchange, and core-orthogonality effects of the chemically inert core electron in the transition metal atoms Sc to Hg. For the sec...

PAML, currently in version 4, is a package of programs for phylogenetic analyses of DNA and protein sequences using maximum likelihood (ML). The programs may be used to compare and test phylogenetic trees, but their main...

Cooperation in organisms, whether bacteria or primates, has been a difficulty for evolutionary theory since Darwin. On the assumption that interactions between pairs of individuals occur on a probabilistic basis, a model...
