The Fast-Slow Continuum Of Life History
The “fast-slow” continuum of mammalian life histories is dependent on body size, and goes from small body size mammals with “fast” lives, to large body size mammals with slow life histories. The former have higher mortality rates and reproduce earlier, the last have a low adult mortality rate (and longer life expectancies) so they can afford to grow more before reproduction, that occurs later in life (Charnov & Berrigan 1993)

    Metaphvsics And The Origin Of Species Summary

    From this point of view that, these criteria show that Ghiselin’s argument is not only biological but also philosophical argument, because there are no biological investigations to answer to the questions. Teehan (1999) support this claim that “Ghiselin's argument is a philosophical one. The question of the individuality of species will not be settled by biologists alone”, then he adds this as a solution: “He himself supports a biological species concept and makes a strong case for this particular answer to the question of the proper definition of "species." However, his main concern is not with the definition of the term, but with the classification of species - and this, he recognizes, is a question of metaphysics.” (Teehan, 1999, pp. 379-380).…

    Darwin's Living Legacy

    Darwin was not the first to suggest that life has evolved over time. In fact, there has been other researchers suggesting there theory. For instance, during 610-546 B.C. a Greek philosopher named Anaximander was one of the first to suggest that life-forms evolved from fish in the seas for this he went through a process of modification once established on land. Also, in the year 1735 Carl Linnaeus published his book, Systema Naturae in which he outlined a method for classifying all organisms. Darwin’s contribution was later acknowledged. Darwin’s most famous theory is called natural selection—stating evolutionary change derives through production of variation within generation and different survival of individuals with different [variation]…

    My Virtual Life Report

    Attachment is defined as the positive emotional bond that develops between a child and a particular individual. Of the four major patterns of attachment (secure, avoidant, ambivalent and disorganized-disoriented), I would consider Blair securely attached. Like other children who have a secure attachment pattern, Blair uses me, her mother, as a type of home base (Feldman, 2012). At 8 months Blair is cautious and shy in new situations. She has a typical fear of strangers but will eventually warm up somewhat to a new situation. Blair shows a strong preference for me over others. I am always talking and thinking about Blair. When my husband and I find time to go out, I find myself worrying and calling grandma to make sure she is doing all right.…
