Jerarquías, integración y complejidad en biología: un posible marco para la evo-devo

TLDR: A network which consists of different hierarchies that serve as descriptors of processes with genidentity and ontological pluralism is proposed which becomes a way of integrating thoughts to allow the construction of a framework required by evo-devo.

Abstract: RESUMEN Historicamente, las jerarquias han servido para clasificar y organizar la vida Actualmente, es claro que capturar conceptualmente la complejidad y diversidad de la vida, requiere mas de una sola jerarquia Aqui se abordan algunos de los principales retos que enfrentan las jerarquias al procurar aprehender la biodiversidad Para resolverlos, se propone una red de jerarquias que sirven de descriptores de procesos con genidentidad y pluralismo ontologico, desde una perspectiva y nivel particulares La red de jerarquias se concibe como un conjunto de ramas en crecimiento que pueden dividirse y unirse de multiples maneras Nuestra perspectiva resuelve varios de los problemas identificados e integra perspectivas multinivel justo lo que se requiere para construir del marco demandado por la evo-devo PALABRAS CLAVE EVO-DEVO, DIVERSIDAD BIOLOGICA, PLURALISMO ONTOLOGICO, TIEMPO EN BIOLOGIA, TEORIAS MULTINIVEL ABSTRACT Throughout history hierarchies have been useful for categorizing and organizing life It is clear that one hierarchy is not enough for the conceptualization of the complexity and diversity of life as we currently understand them In this paper we address some of the key challenges associated hierarchies when apprehending biodiversity Furthermore, we propose a network which consists of different hierarchies that serve as descriptors of processes with genidentity and ontological pluralism Each hierarchy describes a process from a particular perspective and level Thus, this network is conceived as growing branches that can divide and join multiple ways Our approach solves several of the identified challenges and it becomes a way of integrating thoughts to allow the construction of a framework required by evo-devo KEY WORDS EVO-DEVO, DIVERSITY OF LIFE, ONTOLOGICAL PLURALISM, TIME IN BIOLOGY, MULTI-LEVEL THEORIES
