  2. Entrainment (chronobiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrainment_(chronobiology)

    The continuous mode is when the circadian rhythm is continuously adjusted by the environment, usually by constant light. Two properties, the free-running period of an organism, and the phase response curve, are the main pieces of information needed to investigate individual entrainment. There are also limits to entrainment.

  3. Chronobiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronobiology

    Overview, including some physiological parameters, of the human circadian rhythm ("biological clock").. Chronobiology is a field of biology that examines timing processes, including periodic (cyclic) phenomena in living organisms, such as their adaptation to solar- and lunar-related rhythms. [1]

  4. Reciprocity (evolution) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocity_(evolution)

    Direct reciprocity was proposed by Robert Trivers as a mechanism for the evolution of cooperation. [1] If there are repeated encounters between the same two players in an evolutionary game in which each of them can choose either to "cooperate" or "defect", then a strategy of mutual cooperation may be favoured even if it pays each player, in the short term, to defect when the other cooperates.

    In 1942 he became an associate professor of marine biology at the University of Berlin, before becoming the head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biology in Langenargen am Bodensee in 1946. From 1949-1970 he served as the Director of the Max Planck Institute for Marine Biology, ultimately retiring in 1970.

  8. Biological exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_exponential_growth

    Resource availability is essential for the unimpeded growth of a population. Examples of resources organisms use are food, water, shelter, sunlight, and nutrients.[1][2] Ideally, when resources in the habitat are unlimited, each species can fully realize its innate potential to grow in number, as Charles Darwin observed while developing his theory of natural selection.

  9. Senescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senescence

    Senescence (/ s ɪ ˈ n ɛ s ə n s /) or biological aging is the gradual deterioration of functional characteristics in living organisms. Whole organism senescence involves an increase in death rates or a decrease in fecundity with increasing age, at least in the later part of an organism's life cycle.
