peer agreement (net): +1vedi sotto Explanation: l'unica cosa che ho trovato a riguardo è questa spigazione: "In 1982, biologists Elizabeth Vrba and Stephen Jay Gould submitted a paper to the journal Paleobiology entitled: "Exaptation – a missing term in the science of form". This paper fundamentally changed the way many scientists viewed the process of evolution and adaptation. Vrba and Gould suggested that scientists were limited in their understanding of evolution because they didn’t have the words to describe what they saw. In order to remedy this, they coined a new term: Exaptation. Exaptation refers to a structure that evolved for one reason (or randomly for no reason at all), and was then co-opted to a new use. Simply put, an exaptation is when you take something that does one thing, and you realize that you can use it for something different." purtroppo non so dirti altro. ciao -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-06-02 17:24:32 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- credo che l\'unico ed eventuale traducente sia *adattato* come puoi notare qui di seguito: exaptation v. (formerly preadaptation) adoption of a character that had one use in an ancestral form into a new, different use in a descendant form. For example, three bones in the jaws of the ancestors of mammals were exapted into the hammer, stirrup and anvil, the bones of the middle ear. Reference: http://www.exapted.com |

vedi sotto Explanation: Anch'io dubito che ci sia una traduzione. Il significato è "adattare" un organo a una nuova funzione. In campo linguistico, trovo quanto segue: "In his work on redundancy, Roger Lass (1990) uses the concept of exaptation, a term he has imported into linguistics from the natural sci-ences. Lass quotes the work of the evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gouldand Elisabeth Urba, who coined the term to explain certain developmentalfeatures of the archaeopteryx. This dinosaur was feathered but at first flight-less, the feathers serving to keep it warm. When it no longer needed feathersto serve that function but had evolved a skeletal structure that would supportflight, the feathers exaptedfrom their earlier thermoregulatory function toa new, aerodynamic one. Gould and Urba (1982) report that large amounts of redundant DNAare stored in the cells of many organisms in the form of duplicate genes. Asmuch as a quarter of the amount of total genetic material of fruit flies andhuman beings is a duplication of other genes. The surplus DNA is of enor-mous evolutionary importance since it provides the locus for change. Thereis, of course, no perfect parallel between the structure of DNA and that oflinguistic material, but, as Roman Jakobson has pointed out, redundancy serves an essential function in language too. Discussing the sound shape of speech, Jakobson observes that redundant features "serve to support andenhance the distinctive features" (Jakobson and Waugh 1987, 39). Becausethe same piece of information is encoded two (or more) times in an utter-ance, the hearer has more chances to recognize the salient distinctions."

derivato/ricavato/tramutato Explanation: from all categories generate retrosequences that may be exapted as novel genes or regulatory elements. .. In fact, Gould's (1991) thesis is geared toward exapted functions performed by the brain to serve psychological rather than biological functions. ... Either a) the structure is a neomorph, such as the rostrals of ceratopsians, or (vastly more common) b) the structure is exapted from a previously existing ... |
