SYNCHRONY EXAMPLE. "We have seen such a coincidence between the phase at which some normal nematode larvae switch to a dauer fate, and the phase during which a free-living larva of other nematodes becomes parasitic." http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/365/1540/631.short View in LinkedIn

SCHEDULING SYNCHRONY. "It is of interest that both the switch between alternative developmental routes and the developmental transitions involving major morphological and ecological changes often co-occur within the developmental schedule." http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/365/1540/631.short View in LinkedIn

MARINE FOOTPRINT. "Spending weeks in the plankton or metamorphosing into a benthic juvenile within hours since fertilization is clearly a choice on which natural selection has left its footprint in many marine invertebrates." http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/365/1540/631.short View in LinkedIn

NEW PERSPECTIVE. "It is more profitable to consider developmental instars and metamorphoses in terms of their adaptive value." http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/365/1540/631.short View in LinkedIn

"AN EMERGENT ALGORITHM is an algorithm that exhibits emergent behavior. In essence an emergent algorithm implements a set of simple building block behaviors that when combined exhibit more complex behaviors." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergent_algorithm View in LinkedIn

INADEQUACIES OF OLD IDEAS. "The more recent analyses of Hall (1998) and Minelli (2009), has demonstrated how inadequately either hypothesis represents the diversity of evolutionary changes in the ontogenies of different metazoan lineages." http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/365/1540/631.short View in LinkedIn

AUTONOMOUS. "An interesting idea is internal emergence that allows a system to take advantage of the emergent patterns without external intervention. To achieve this, self-modification and self-reflection are required." http://eprints.aston.ac.uk/20778/1/Emergence_in_genetic_programming.pdf View in LinkedIn

OLD COMPLEX LIFESTYLE HYPOTHESES. "Traditional interpretations of the origin and evolution of complex life cycles have been dominated by two contrasting scenarios, the recapitulationist and the intercalary, traditionally associated with the names of Ernst Haeckel and Walter Garstang, respectively." http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/365/1540/631.short View in LinkedIn

EMERGENT PROGRAMMING. "Genetic programming systems have always been engineered to produce emergent solutions. Through the use of genetic programming, we expect the computer to solve a problem without explicitly telling it what steps to take and in what order, often not knowing ourselves in advance what the solution should be." http://eprints.aston.ac.uk/20778/1/Emergence_in_genetic_programming.pdf View in LinkedIn

BILARVAL SPECIES. "In some spionid polychaetes, both planktotrophic and lecithotrophic larvae may occur in a single species, and in the marine gastropod Haminaea callidegenita, both veliger larvae and ‘post-larval’ juveniles are produced from the same egg mass. In another marine gastropod, Alderia modesta, the siblings are sometimes all planktotrophic, or all lecitotrophic, but sometimes both." http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/365/1540/631.short View in LinkedIn
