SEA LEVEL RISE AND THE EVOLUTION OF AGGRESSION ON ISLANDS

Sea level rise and the evolution of aggression on islands

Summary: Why aggressive traits evolve in some species but not in others is poorly understood.We modeled the population dynamics of the extinct Mauritius dodo and Rodrigues solitaire to examine divergent pathways in the evolution of aggression.Whereas the dodo conformed to island syndrome predictions of tameness, its sister-taxon the solitaire evolv

Physiological characterization of electrodermal activity enables scalable near real-time autonomic nervous system activation inference.

Electrodermal activities (EDA) are any electrical phxenomena observed on the skin.Skin conductance (SC), a measure of EDA, shows fluctuations due to autonomic nervous tillman 750m system (ANS) activation induced sweat secretion.Since it can capture psychophysiological information, there is a significant rise in the research work for tracking mental
