Title: Simple Summary It is necessary to contextualize hormesis within an evolutionary framework that incorporates the advances developed from Neo-Darwinism to contemporary evolutionary biology. The central problem addressed in this review is the lack of a conceptual integration between hormesis and evolutionary…

In traditional gerontological terms, adaptation is usually understood as the production of physical aids to mitigate the impairment effects caused by age-related disabilities, or as those alterations organizations need to make under the concept of reasonable adjustment to prevent age discrimination (in the UK, e.g.…

The process of adaptation to environmental pressures is a core tenet of evolutionary theory. As a result, there has been increased interest in recent years in applying conceptual frameworks used by evolutionary anthropologists to the field of applied physiology (; ), and vice versa (). Within evolutionary biology…

Both local adaptation and adaptive phenotypic plasticity can influence the match between phenotypic traits and local environmental conditions. Theory predicts that environments stable for multiple generations promote local adaptation, while highly heterogeneous environments favor adaptive phenotypic plasticity.…

Effects of climate change can be handled by means of mitigation and adaptation. In the biological sciences, adaptations are solutions which evolved when organisms needed to match an ecological challenge. Based on Adaptive Dynamics theory, a definition is proposed of adapted states and adaptational lags applicable…

Animals from embryos to adults experiencing stress from climate change have numerous mechanisms available for enhancing their long-term survival. In this review we consider these options, and how viable they are in a world increasingly experiencing extreme weather associated with climate change. A deeply understood…

Environments can change in incremental fashions, where a shift from one state to another occurs over multiple organismal generations. The rate at which the environment changes is expected to influence how and how well populations adapt to the ultimate environment. We used a model system, the lytic RNA bacteriophage Φ6…

Pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs), e.g. CLIP, have become essential tools in multimodal transfer learning. However, fine-tuning VLMs in few-shot scenarios poses significant challenges in balancing task-specific adaptation and generalization in the obtained model. Meanwhile, current researches have predominantly…

Single Forward Pass Authors: ['Tong Chen' 'Hao Fang' 'Patrick Xia' 'Xiaodong Liu' 'Benjamin Van Durme' 'Luke Zettlemoyer' 'Jianfeng Gao' 'Hao Cheng'] Large language models (LMs) are typically adapted to improve performance on new contexts (e.g., text prompts that define new tasks or domains) through finetuning or…

—Machine learning algorithms have achieved remarkable success across various disciplines, use cases and applications, under the prevailing assumption that training and test samples are drawn from the same distribution. Consequently, these algorithms struggle and become brittle even when samples in the test distribution…

Climate adaptation is caused by multiple mechanisms, including evolution of regulatory promoter sequences under broad environmental pressures, however, little is known about these processes in response to climate pressures in animals. Here, we examined spatial and temporal evolution of climate-related gene promoters in…

Any realistic evolutionary theory has to consider: (i) the dynamics of organisms that reproduce and possess heritable traits; (ii) the appearance of stochastic variations in these traits; and (iii) the selection of those organisms that better survive and reproduce. These elements shape the “evolutionary forces” that…

Zero-shot generative model adaptation (ZSGM) aims to adapt a pre-trained generator to a target domain using only text guidance and without any samples from the target domain. Central to recent ZSGM approaches are directional loss which use the text guidance in the form of aligning the image offset with text offset in…

Fine-tuning large diffusion models for new domains or styles involves a trade-off: improving target-specific generation often degrades the pretrained model's broad generative capability. Existing full and parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods typically handle this trade-off only implicitly. In this work, we propose a…

Model adaptation aims at solving the domain transfer problem under the constraint of only accessing the pretrained source models. With the increasing considerations of data privacy and transmission efficiency, this paradigm has been gaining recent popularity. This paper studies the vulnerability to universal attacks…

Oxygenation of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons by Rieske oxygenases is the initial step of various biodegradation pathways for environmental organic contaminants. Microorganisms carrying Rieske oxygenases are able to quickly adapt their substrate spectrum to alternative carbon and energy sources that are…

For applications in gas sensing, purification, and capture, we often wish to search a large set of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the top-K in terms of their Henry coefficient of an adsorbate. A molecular simulation to predict the Henry coefficient of a MOF constitutes a Monte Carlo integration where each sample…

Comparative evidence suggests that adaptive plasticity may evolve as a response to predictable environmental variation. However, less attention has been placed on unpredictable environmental variation, which is considered to affect evolutionary trajectories by increasing phenotypic variation (or bet-hedging). Here, we…

We report the adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) of Clostridium ljungdahlii (Cl) for enhanced syngas fermentation, enabling its integration into a photocatalytic CO₂-to-syngas conversion system for the upcycling of CO₂ to C₂ products, acetate and ethanol. The adapted strain, Cladapt, exhibits a 2.5-fold increase in…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

Exploring the potential energy surface to sample transition state regions is crucial to understand the atomic processes that govern chemical reactivity. Ideally, the exploration does not require any collective variables that are based on prior chemical domain knowledge. With this in mind, we adapt the stochastic saddle…
