The Biological Implausibility of the Nature–Nurture Dichotomy and What It Means for the Study of Infancy

TL;DR: The origins of structure and function lie in the organism's nature whereas Aristotle proposed that they lie in its nurture as discussed by the authors, which has had a powerful effect on our thinking about development right into modern times.

Genetic Control of Hormone-Induced Ovulation Rate in Mice

TL;DR: This study demonstrates genetic variation in HIOR both within and between mouse subspecies, and provides confirmation that genetic differences are a major source of variation in the regulation of ovarian responsiveness to gonadotropins.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic basis of host plant adaptation in the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens)

TL;DR: Nymph-to-adult survival of the cross classes was found to be highly correlated with mean weight change of the adults, and results are discussed in relation to a presumed host shift from Leersia to rice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary Novelties: The Making and Breaking of Pleiotropic Constraints

TL;DR: It is argued that the root cause of the conservation of body plans is the strong interactivity during the patterning of the embryonic axes, including the interactivity between patterning and proliferation processes, which causes many negative pleiotropic effects (malformations and cancers) that dramatically lower fitness.

Voluntary Ethanol Consumption by Mice: Genome-Wide Analysis of Quantitative Trait Loci and Their Interactions in a C57BL/6ByJ × 129P3/J F2 Intercross

TL;DR: A significant role of the genetic background in the variation of ethanol consumption is demonstrated in mice of the C57BL/6ByJ strain, which has higher ethanol preferences and intakes than does the 129P3/J strain.
