  2. Dynkin diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynkin_diagram

    The right map is simply an inclusion – undirected Dynkin diagrams are special cases of Coxeter diagrams, and Weyl groups are special cases of finite Coxeter groups – and is not onto, as not every Coxeter diagram is an undirected Dynkin diagram (the missed diagrams being H 3, H 4 and I 2 (p) for p = 5 p ≥ 7), and correspondingly not every ...

  3. Tinbergen's four questions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinbergen's_four_questions

    This schema constitutes a basic framework of the overlapping behavioural fields of ethology, behavioural ecology, comparative psychology, sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, and anthropology. Julian Huxley identified the first three questions. Niko Tinbergen gave only the fourth question, as Huxley's questions failed to distinguish between ...

  4. Coxeter–Dynkin diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxeter–Dynkin_diagram

    Coxeter–Dynkin diagrams for the fundamental finite Coxeter groups Coxeter–Dynkin diagrams for the fundamental affine Coxeter groups. In geometry, a Coxeter–Dynkin diagram (or Coxeter diagram, Coxeter graph) is a graph with numerically labeled edges (called branches) representing a Coxeter group or sometimes a uniform polytope or uniform tiling constructed from the group.

  5. Root system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_system

    If is a root system, the Dynkin diagram for the dual root system is obtained from the Dynkin diagram of by keeping all the same vertices and edges, but reversing the directions of all arrows. Thus, we can see from their Dynkin diagrams that B n {\displaystyle B_{n}} and C n {\displaystyle C_{n}} are dual to each other.

  6. Tree of life (biology) - Wikipedia

    Edward Hitchcock's fold-out paleontological chart in his 1840 Elementary Geology. Although tree-like diagrams have long been used to organise knowledge, and although branching diagrams known as claves ("keys") were omnipresent in eighteenth-century natural history, it appears that the earliest tree diagram of natural order was the 1801 "Arbre botanique" (Botanical Tree) of the French ...

  7. Pedigree chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedigree_chart

    Definition [ edit ] The word pedigree is a corruption of the Anglo-Norman French pé de grue or "crane's foot", either because the typical lines and split lines (each split leading to different offspring of the one parent line) resemble the thin leg and foot of a crane [ 3 ] or because such a mark was used to denote succession in pedigree charts.

  8. Biological basis of personality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_basis_of...

    The biological basis of personality is a collection of brain systems and mechanisms that underlie human personality. Human neurobiology, especially as it relates to complex traits and behaviors, is not well understood, but research into the neuroanatomical and functional underpinnings of personality are an active field of research.

  9. Sister group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_group

    The term sister group is used in phylogenetic analysis, however, only groups identified in the analysis are labeled as "sister groups".. An example is birds, whose commonly cited living sister group is the crocodiles, but that is true only when discussing extant organisms; [3] [4] when other, extinct groups are considered, the relationship between birds and crocodiles appears distant.
