Journal ArticleDOI
Varieties of modules: kinds, levels, origins, and behaviors.
TL;DR: This article began as a review of a conference, organized by Gerhard Schlosser, entitled "Modularity in Development and Evolution," but subsequently metamorphosed into a literature and concept review as well as an analysis of the differences in current perspectives on modularity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Darwin on Variation and Heredity
TL;DR: An analysis of Darwin’s elaboration and modification of these two positions from his early notebooks to the last edition of the Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication complements previous Darwin scholarship on these issues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative definitions of epistasis: dependence and interaction
TL;DR: It is shown how independence of gene action can be different from the absence of gene interaction, and how the two formulations converge with weak selection but not with strong selection or, for multiple loci, when the aggregated interaction terms are not negligible.
Journal ArticleDOI
August Weismann on germ-plasm variation.
TL;DR: An analysis of his work indicates that Weismann always held that changes in external conditions, acting during development, were the necessary causes of variation in the hereditary material, and divides his career into four stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parts and theories in compositional biology
TL;DR: A discussion of the importance of recognizing formal and compositional biology as two genuinely different ways of doing biology – the differences arising more from their distinct methodologies than from scientific discipline included or natural domain studied.
